New York and London-based visualization firm The Boundary has launched Boundary Explore, a proprietary virtual reality platform allows the user to explore a space in photorealistic computer generated image (CGI) virtual reality, enabling the user complete freedom of movement, whether accessed through a tablet, phone, web browser or VR headset.
“We recognize that in the modern online space, content must somehow be immersive,” said Henry Goss co-founder of the Boundary. “Motion within photorealistic environments is not only the most effective way to grab attention, but also has the capacity to hold attention, and draw a viewer into a place in a way still images rarely can.”
For the real estate industry, the concept of the virtual tour is not new. However, in the pre-built prime and super-prime residential and commercial sectors, to date, immersive CGI virtual reality (VR) experiences have only been accessible within sales galleries. This is because until now the only CGI VR technology which truly captures the detail, quality and photorealism expected by high-end clients has been via hardware-intensive and often prohibitively expensive real-time rendering. Unlike traditional real time rendering however, The Boundary Explore only requires a regular internet connection.
