Holoportation: BNP Paribas invents the property viewing of the future

Let's be realistic and not get carried away: progress still needs to be made with holoportation before some journeys can be avoided. In particular, in terms of the miniaturisation of the equipment necessary to create the experience. However, that is to take nothing away from the magic of the first holoportation applications available to the general public.

And in this area, BNP Paribas Real Estate, together with Mimesys and HTC Vive offer an innovative experience with an augmented reality, remote property viewing solution. This service is already operational, and, for example, enables a London buyer or investor to view a property (whether existing or off-plan) located in Hong Kong or anywhere in the world. Equipped with an HTC Vive headset, he can instantly attend a venue, talk with his agent - also present in the form of a hologram, and potentially handle mock-ups to alter his project.

This could completely revolutionise the customer experience: no time lost travelling, perfect visualisation of projects using 3D immersion, direct communication with the agent to make rapid alterations, etc. For BNP Paribas Real Estate, holoportation is anything but a technological gadget: it is a genuinely major innovation to facilitate its customers' daily lives.
