What is a 360 VR Movie or 360 VR Video?
A 360 VR movie combines the scripted path of a traditional animation, keeping your prospects attention where you would like it, with the high impact of a virtual reality environment allowing the user to look in all directions at their own discretion during the tour. 360 VR Movies also allow the presenter to pause and highlight key features. 360 VR Movies are much easier to navigate than a real-time 3D environment.

Recent applications of this 360 VR Movie technique have included both penthouse condominiums at AMARIS, along The District Wharf in Washington, DC and a new performing arts venue, Capital One Hall in Tysons, VA. On the commercial side, IFMM partnered with Forest City and Brookfield to use the technique during the reinvention of Ballston Quarter in Arlington, VA.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 360 VR movie and how is it viewed?
expand_more
A 360 VR movie is an immersive video that surrounds the viewer in a full spherical environment, allowing them to look in any direction as the scene unfolds. It can be experienced through a VR headset for full immersion, or viewed on a desktop or mobile browser where the user drags to look around. We produce them from rendered 3D environments of unbuilt spaces.
How are 360 VR movies used in real estate?
expand_more
Developers use them to give prospective tenants or buyers a spatial experience of a building that doesn't exist yet — walking through a lobby, looking out from a balcony, exploring an amenity floor. They're particularly effective at leasing events, trade shows, and on property websites where the goal is to create an emotional connection with a space before it's built.
What is the difference between a 360 VR movie and a static 360 panorama?
expand_more
A static 360 panorama is a single frozen moment — the viewer can look around but nothing moves. A 360 VR movie adds time: people walk through the space, lighting shifts, water features run, elevators arrive. That motion transforms the experience from a technical tool into something closer to actually being in the space.
How long does it take to produce a 360 VR movie?
expand_more
A typical 360 VR movie of two to three minutes covering multiple spaces takes four to six weeks from model receipt to final delivery. The rendering pipeline is more intensive than standard video because every frame must be computed as a full spherical image. We plan production timelines around the client's leasing or event milestones.
Can 360 VR content be embedded on a property marketing website?
expand_more
Yes. We deliver 360 VR movies in formats that embed directly into property websites using standard web players, with no special plugins required for desktop or mobile viewing. For clients who want a headset experience at leasing centers or events, we also provide optimized builds for Meta Quest and similar standalone VR hardware.
