“We believe in making strategic investments in building cutting edge technology,” said Lalit Mangal, Co-founder and CTO, CommonFloor.com. “This product is pegged to be a game changer in the real estate industry in India and globally. We will work closely with the builder community to scale-up the number of projects listed, thereby helping property buyers to choose from as many projects that may want to visit.”

“CommonFloor has been instrumental in transforming the way we view properties.” said JC Sharma, Vice Chairman and Managing Director of Sobha Limited. “Their  latest introduction, CommonFloor Retina, is indeed commendable. This state-of-the-art technology product will enable our customers to take a virtual tour of the property they wish to see in the comfort of their home. It allows them to experience both the interiors and exteriors of the property in an interesting manner and saves a lot of time, especially if one need to choose between several properties.”

To use CommonFloor Retina, a user simply needs to sport the headgear to experience virtual tour of the property of their choice. This offers buyers an unforgettable experience and insights about the property from the perspective of space and ambience among other features. The simple magnet on the headgear acts as a navigation tool. The app also saves the builders the cost and space to construct a model apartment.

“It is an interesting product that can help a home buyer visualize the building and apartment under consideration in greater depth,” said Vyoma Pandit, Senior DGM, Marketing, Brigade Group.. “It should be useful to customers who cannot be physically present at the property location before buying, and also to people who have already purchased a property and want to share it with their family and friends.”
