Visuado launches browser-based production layer for virtual tours
Norwegian proptech company Visuado has launched Walkable, a platform enabling virtual tours to be scanned, processed, and published directly from any smartphone browser, eliminating the need for dedicated hardware or apps.
Norwegian proptech firm Visuado has released Walkable, a platform it states is the world's first browser-based production layer for virtual tours. The system allows users to scan, process, and publish professional virtual tours directly from a smartphone's web browser.
Visuado claims its Walkable technology removes the need for dedicated 360 cameras, separate applications, or professional photographers to create virtual tours. This development has the potential to significantly alter how virtual tours are produced and distributed, particularly at scale.
The company indicates that virtual tours have been shown to increase engagement and generate interest from potential property buyers. Walkable aims to make the creation of virtual tours simpler and more cost-effective, enabling small businesses and individual real estate agents to produce high-quality virtual showings without substantial initial investment.
The technology utilizes the smartphone camera and the browser's processing power for data handling. Visuado believes its solution could render the traditional virtual tour production model obsolete, offering a more flexible and accessible option for the real estate sector.
