REA Release APP for Realestate.com.au to view properties in VR

Australians can now view and explore virtual properties in their own backyard with the launch of realestate VR by realestate.com.au.

Touted as Australia's first dedicated virtual reality property app to launch on Google's Daydream, realestateVR features a range of active realestate.com.au listings, and allows consumers to walk through their potential next home.

The app also lists a number of off-market properties.

As the technology becomes more widely adopted, the number of properties available to view in VR through the portal will increase, the company said in a press statement.
