- DavidPeiffer 6y agoOverall, pretty well. It saved us a lot of time compared to spending a day going to open houses which aren't a good fit (outside of basic specs on paper) or driving around town with a real estate agent looking at houses. It was far better than the photos normally posted online. Most websites host ~25 photos of the property, and my last house had 8 rooms. It's really tough to assess a house and understand how the rooms flow together with so few pictures. The floorplans generated by Matterport may be more helpful if you have trouble visualizing it. I would pull up those floorplans and measure the room we were in and say "the living room is 3 feet wider, and the couch would take up about half of this wall" to help put things into perspective. I wasn't using VR, just looking through on a computer. Not sure if VR would help.
- monkeydust 6y agoYea especially with vr. Agents photos are really misleading but with 3d a small room feels like a small room. Edit: One thing I did notice with matterport was a lot of personal information can leak out about who lives there.
