The UK government has put on hold most of the non-essential parts of the British economy including the entire property market, to halt the spread of the coronavirus.

The circumstances in the housing market are very different than in 2008, because demand has slowed at the same pace as supply that generally means we expect the bounce back to be pretty quick. The practical impact of Covid-19 on buyers’ and sellers’ ability to transact, as it limits people’s ability to go about their normal business can/could be mitigated with the use of Virtual Reality (VR) technology.

Once the risk to human life has reduced and steps are taken back toward a fully productive economy, it is worth spending some time envisaging what this 'new normal' might look like. A recent survey by Perkins Coie LLP positioned Real Estate fourth in a list of sectors expected to attract the most VR related investment over the next 12 months.
Virtual Reality have seen a dramatic infusion of investment in the last decade. Total revenue estimation of VR/AR software in real estate is $2,6 billion by 2025. Like every new technology, mass adoption takes time, effort and money. Fortunately VR is't that new! We had over 30 years to get ready for the VR revolution.
VR revolution has already started, changing social interactions and many industries, including real estate. Since 2015 when VR has emerged as a new marketing tool and became more versatile and affordable, agencies began to show multi-million dollar houses and apartments located in Los Angeles, New York City, London, and Dubai to potential buyers.
Today high-end VR headsets costs below £300, while entry level head gears for compatible smartphones are on sale for as little as £30. Such price makes it affordable, not only to the business and tech enthusiasts but also to the general public. Since the worldwide lockdown virtual reality headset sales skyrocket!
MacPixelVR offers professionals throughout the real estate industry an easy, quick and affordable way to use VR and maximise the opportunities, supporting the sales process. Many VR devices were already widely available and also affordable, but the best part is that your clients can benefit from our VR solutions without any investment. A smartphone, tablet or laptop with any modern web browser are sufficient to take advantage of the Virtual Tour - no additional software required.
We have had to make the difficult decision to suspend our VR presentations due to COVID-19 and we are happy to assist you virtually, using available technology and following social distancing guidelines.
Join our Virtual Tours Community using one of the VR Headsets or other compatible device like smartphone, tablet, laptop or desktop PC. Game consoles like Play Station, most modern smart TVs and set-top-boxes are already compatible with our Virtual Tours technology. We don't want to spook you, but everything indicates that soon even your new fridge will follow in the footsteps of wide adaptation and deepening compatibility :-)
Engage prospective buyers with interactive presentations and immersive content. Here's a flat representation of the VR experience.
MacPixelVR proves that we are no longer bound by the pixels alone, liberating your spaces to multidimensional, immersive experience. In our opinion VR is the same to photography as a good quality hi-res picture to a plain text description. Are you ready to use the latest in 3D / 360° & Virtual Reality technology to enhance real estate sales?
First, we take a series of photos which we develop and edit, and then we stitch them together using dedicated software. The resulting rectilinear panorama is then processed to create a virtual scene. We add hotspots and link them with relevant scenes. At the end all scenes are rendered in various resolutions and sliced to smaller tiles, to improve the performance and loading time. The last step is publishing on the website or dedicated VR platform.

Thank you for visiting my website. My name is Mac and I’ve been exploring visual art and science for over two decades. I'm passionate about VR since it was invented.
20 years ago as an IT graduate (Multimedia & AI) working on the frontier of eLearning I realised that I can merge my soft skills with hardcore science and interests in psychology, marketing, ergonomics, aesthetics & art.
I developed my career as an HCI expert (human-computer interaction). At the same time I’ve been running a successful graphic design agency with photography and multimedia in the core of my business. VR technology has given me a great opportunity to expand my business and cover everything visual, unleashing my full potential in art and science.

The safety of our clients is of a paramount importance and we decided to temporarly suspend our VR presentations. We are happy to assist you with your own VR headset or compatible smartphone. On location we use FFP3 masks, silicone gloves and UVC light with ozone which has a more powerful function than UVC itself. We leave your property disinfected and ready to use within 45 minutes after disinfection (this time is required to let ozone decomposition complete).
