Tech-based real estate service provider Rocket Homes Real Estate LLC announced that its app is now available on Apple Vision Pro, the new spatial computer. Apple Vision Pro users can blend their physical and virtual worlds to view and tour properties to find their next home.
“At Rocket Homes, we know there are millions of people who are waiting for the right moment to buy a home. We also know that there are many ways to find and fall in love with your next house during the homebuying journey,” said Sam Vida, president and chief product officer of Rocket Homes. “We are constantly developing new ways to make the home search more convenient and effective. That’s exactly what we did when we created the Rocket Homes app for Apple Vision Pro, which will bring the home shopping experience to the game-changing world of spatial computing.”
When homebuyers launch the Rocket Homes app in Apple Vision Pro, a home search page and map of nearby listings based on the user’s current location will fill their field of vision. From there, buyers can immerse themselves in the spaces they are considering, giving them a realistic sense of a home’s location and layout from miles away or even across the country. The app also features a “Look Around” option, enabling the user to explore the home’s exterior and view the surrounding neighborhood. Plus, on listings that include 3D tours, they can get a close-up look at every room in the home, helping consumers to picture their lives there.
Beyond the home search, additional features include the ability to compare multiple listings and view them side-by-side in Apple Vision Pro by using hand gestures to move listings around the space in front of them and zoom in on the map. In addition, The Rocket Homes app also supports Apple’s SharePlay, enabling users to show a friend or family member what they see in their Apple Vision Pro via FaceTime. A homebuyer can get a second opinion and virtually walk through the home together from anywhere in the world.
Interaction on Apple Vision Pro is predominantly driven by the user’s hands, eyes and voice, leveraging machine learning to accurately predict what command is being given. Home shoppers can simply say the location they are looking for and are instantly presented with possible listings. If the user is signed into their Rocket account, Rocket Homes’ advanced AI and machine learning technology will show properties the homebuyer is likely to be interested in based on their previous browsing and saved favorites.
Homebuyers can download the Rocket Homes app to use on their mobile device, in CarPlay or in the Vision Pro App Store.
