Simon Creasey: AR/VR technologies and virtual walkthroughs have been around for a long time, but haven’t really gained a great deal of traction in the property industry until fairly recently. Have you seen more people enquiring about using your products and services as a result of the pandemic?
Scott Grant: There has definitely been an increase and I’d say more of an openness. I think that the noticeable thing from our point of view is the application of VR was always more heavily weighted towards taking people somewhere to do VR in some form or other, whereas it’s definitely shifted to “how do we push those experiences out and how do we try and take traditional forms of visualisation and blend it with this experiential future that starts to match up to the world’s expectations?
