Until now, VR real estate property viewing has been limited to stitching panoramic images together, andoffers only "point movement at intervals of several meters." Gaussian VR uses Gaussian Splatting technology
to construct the entire environment in 3D, allowing users to freely walk around the property. Moreover, it isan epoch-making solution that does not require specialized equipment and can be completed simply byrecording footage using a typical smartphone. Uploaded footage is automatically generated into an
immersive VR environment in as little as a few dozen minutes.

[Comments from Users]
・I have used other VR platforms, but this service is completely different. I was amazed at how much I couldreally walk around and view the property from virtually any angle. It is incredible how easy it was to recordand upload footage with just a smartphone.
・Advanced state-of-the-art technology, but immersive and practical. Would definitely differentiate us as acompany using advanced technology to attract potential buyers.
・Also works on a PC, so it can be used by potential buyers from anywhere.
・Likely reduces the burden and stress on sellers, and would allow us to differentiate ourselves from ourcompetitors.
