I'm fully aware of the fact that the process of buying a new property is very daunting & time-consuming, and even after giving in so much, sometimes you end up buying something which doesn't satisfy you, so is it right? Why has it to be like this? Why your dream has to suffer just because you can't give in much time or can't find what you're looking for? Don't worry, Magicbricks came to the rescue.

Magicbricks Property Experience Center
Magicbricks Property Experience Center is a beautiful platform which connects the online & the offline world and fills the gap which existed between buyer & seller. As mentioned above, this platform uses different technologies which allow buyer to perform wide range of tasks like browsing properties, comparing them with different properties, browsing locality, various financial calculators, immersive walkthroughs, touchscreen maps, on-demand video call with Magicbricks advisors, who will help you in finding the perfect property, according to your requirement. Let's take a look at the technologies used in the experience center by Magicbricks.
Virtual Reality
When you book a flat in an Under-construction building, the builder shows you a 2-dimensional layout plan of the flat & it's often difficult figuring out 'How the flat will look like when it gets built?' Well, using Virtual Reality, Magicbricks solved this difficulty. When you visit the experience center, you can opt for Virtual Reality & actually, walk into the flat, you are willing to buy (even if it's under-construction). Using Advanced VR headsets, you can jump into virtual reality & move around your dream home. This will help you make better decisions & will also help you find the perfect nest.
Augmented Reality
For people who want a clear idea of where their apartment is located in a society, where is the gate, ventilation spaces, windows, greenery etc. they can find solutions at Magicbricks Augmented Reality section. According to a survey conducted by Magicbricks, 60 percent of home buyers end up buying an apartment which does have adequate ventilation & source natural lighting. Augmented Reality helps you see the entire society by taking an aerial view. It will help you figure out where you flat is located in the society.
