When Facebook first announced its upcoming name change to Meta in October of 2021, many users expected a platform requiring virtual reality goggles for a lifelike three-dimensional experience. If that was the vision, we still have a way to go before it is the overall user experience. “Metaverse” has evolved into a broader term today, encompassing an immersive adventure through the Internet or apps providing a unique view into something spectacular replacing in-person engagement. In the proptech world, virtual tours of real estate properties that fall under this broader category have become incredibly popular. Through them, prospective buyers and the agents guiding them through properties feel as if they are on-site. This is due to the lifelike visuals that technology has gifted the virtual world with its many advancements and enhancements. It’s 2023, and we have come a long way over the years!
