Virtual Reality for Architecture and Real Estate
At gmsvision, we create virtual reality applications, virtual tours and 360° presentations for architects, property developers and real estate companies across Europe. Detailed 3D models based on your plans allow buyers and investors to explore a project before construction begins.
These presentations help your audience understand the layout, proportions and materials of a planned building. You can use them in sales meetings, investor presentations and at trade fairs. Depending on the chosen format, we develop presentations for web browsers or applications for compatible VR headsets.
Our Virtual Reality Services
Virtual Walkthroughs
Let clients explore a planned apartment, house or commercial space at their own pace. We create interactive 3D environments with navigation adapted to your project. Depending on the selected platform, we develop the walkthrough for a browser or a compatible VR headset.
360° Architectural Presentations
Give viewers a 360° view of planned interiors and outdoor spaces from selected viewpoints. Our interactive panoramas work in a browser on computers, tablets and smartphones, without a VR headset. You can integrate them into your website and digital property presentations.
Virtual Reality for Real Estate Sales
Bring apartment layouts, finish options and lighting scenarios into one application for sales meetings and trade fairs. Buyers can compare the design options included in the presentation and see how each choice changes the space.
Interactive Configurators
Allow clients to compare selected flooring, wall finishes or kitchen cabinets directly in the 3D environment. We define the available options with you, so the configurator reflects the choices you offer and supports discussions about materials and finishes.
How We Create Your VR Application
We start with your plans and a detailed 3D model of the project. Together, we define the spaces to include, the navigation and any interactive features. We then develop the presentation for the agreed platform, such as a browser, VR headset or interactive display.
During production, you receive previews to review the spaces, materials and navigation. After your approval, we prepare the final application for delivery.
If we have already created architectural visualizations or 3D animations for your project, we check whether the existing model can be adapted for VR. Reusing it can reduce production time and cost, depending on its technical suitability and the changes required.

Frequently Asked Questions About Virtual Reality
How much does a virtual reality application cost?
VR applications are quoted individually, based on the spaces, interactive features and target platform. For 360° panoramas, prices start at €350 excl. VAT. See our pricing page for indicative costs.
Do my clients need a VR headset?
Clients can view browser-based 360° tours on a computer, tablet or smartphone without a headset. Applications developed specifically for VR headsets require a compatible device. We select the appropriate format with you before production.
What is virtual reality used for in real estate?
Virtual reality is used for off-plan sales, investor presentations, sales offices, trade fairs and international property marketing. It allows buyers and investors to experience a project before construction begins.
Can a VR application be created from an existing 3D model?
Often, yes. We assess the model’s technical suitability and the changes needed for the planned VR application. A model from renderings or animations we have already created for your project can provide a useful starting point. Reusing suitable parts of it can reduce production time and cost.
How long does a VR project take?
Production time depends on the scope and complexity of the application. A simple 360° presentation can be completed relatively quickly, while a fully interactive VR experience may require several weeks.
