这是一个超越想象的，有可能对地产行业产生变革的VR地产应用。

It is common with virtual reality (VR) real estate and property apps that there is little consideration for the practicality of the usage of it. Plenty of apps are designed for users to explore a property by themselves, usually using a control pad to move around, and plenty of apps also give the very much undesirable effect of motion sickness. VRoomX, however, is perhaps one of the very few property VR apps that incorporates a whole host of considerations that make it realistically practical, is good for the stomach, and is more than a tech demo.

以往的VR地产应用通常很少考虑实用性。许多应用会设计让用户自己去探索一栋房子。用户通过一个控制面板“走来走去”。还有许多地产应用会让用户产生晕动症。而VRoomX，可能是为数不多的操作实用并且体验舒适的VR应用之一。并且VRoomX已经是一个完整的产品而非演示版本。
VRoomX can be used for a range of different properties, from envisioning new buildings to showcasing existing ones. The way it does this is pretty unique and doesn’t cut any corners, which goes a long way. This VR property program uses multiple HTC Vives which accommodates for those who are viewing as well as those who are showing, with full room scale movement within a controlled area. What this means is that the person taking the potential buyers around can use their motion controls to teleport the whole group to a certain area of the room for them to explore in more detail. With this mix of teleport and room scale movement, it gives the perfect amount of freedom that is very much similar to what would happen in real life, rather than letting the viewers either run around or feel unsure of where to go without explanation of what they’re looking at.

从预览未来的新楼盘到展示现有的建筑，VRoomX能用于不同的地产产品。VRoomX的做法相当独特，没有“偷工减料”，而是走了一条“远路”。这个VR地产应用需要用到多台HTC Vive设备以及一个房间大小的体验区，为了让看房用户和置业顾问能够同时进入到VR场景内。这意味着，置业顾问可以用Vive手柄把整组的看房用户“瞬间移动”到某个房间，让客户去看到更多的产品细节。VRoomX即能让用户进行“瞬间移动”，也可以实现在房间级体验区内真实行走，让用户在VR看房体验时拥有一个完美的自由度，极其接近真实世界的体验。这远比让用户自己毫无目的地行走，或者不知道去哪里，或者没有任解释的体验要好得多。

This mode of transportation and locomotion is also a great way to solve users being distracted by wanting to take off the head-mounted display (HMD) as quickly as possible for fear of being sick, which surely doesn’t help any kind of sale.

而VRoomX的传送以及移动方式，让看房用户不会因为担心晕眩而急于摘下VR头盔。这对地产销售来说是一件好事。
Thomas Gere of VRoom, wrote a blog post outlining the importance of multi-user and mobility in VR, which as I have explained is its crown and glory. It is clear that demonstrating this tech is not the number one in importance for the app: “But most importantly sharing the same virtual space creates rapport or a sense of social immersion, this makes it more fun and couples or a family feel more relaxed.”

指挥家VR的Thomas Gere，曾写了一篇博客概述了在VR中多用户以及可移动的重要性，就如我以上所描述的，这也是VRoomX最耀眼的亮点。对于VRoomX来说，很显然展示技术并不是最重要的：“更重要的是，分享同一个虚拟空间并创造出一种融洽的氛围或者社交沉浸感。这使得VRoomX的体验更加有趣，而且让一家人（来看房的时候）感觉轻松愉悦。”
While being taken around, users can take the time to interact with what they’re looking at. So, if the user wants to change the colour of the chair or floor, they can go ahead to their hearts content. If the user wants to move the bowl of apples from the table to the kitchen counter, or switch on the lights to see how they look, that is no problem. VRoomX uses Unreal Engine 4, and it is clear that as much detail as possible has been put into the creation of the areas, rather than it feeling something like Sims 2. Walking around, although not fooled by the quite clear virtual surrounding, it is the closest to real one can go without being there – or even before the building has been made.

在VRoomX中，用户还可以和他们看到的场景充分互动。因此，如果用户想要变换椅子或者地板的颜色，可以尽情选择自己中意的款式。如果用户想把一碗苹果从餐桌拿到厨房，或者打开灯看看灯光效果，这些都不是问题。VRoomX使用虚幻4引擎制作，而制作中许多细节的表达也是显而易见的，这和《模拟人生2》中的场景完全不同。用户戴上头盔四处游览的时候，尽管知道这是一个虚拟的环境，但对于展示地产产品来说却已经足够逼真了。不需要到现场，甚至在建造之前，就能身临其境地“走进”地产产品之中。

For one project to be completed, it is said that it will take just 15 days. VRoomXcuts many resources often put into creating showrooms or taking potential buyers around. For properties or buildings that require a whole room to be built as example, like the kind you will see in Ikea, there is no doubt that it will take more money, time, and hassle than 15 days of designing a virtual space that puts the user in the flat before it is created.
译：
要完成一个VRoomX项目，最短只需15天的时间。相比建造实体样板间，VRoomX能够节省大量费用；相比带着用户到处看房，VRoomX也能节约不少时间。对于地产产品来说，建造样板意味着建造一整个房子，就像你在宜家看到的那样。而投入的费用、时间，以及遇到的麻烦比花15天制作一个VR空间要大得多。
The only points that could be raised by the user is whether or not the real product will match up to the virtual showroom, but with the reputation and momentum that VRoomX has already gained with some big names, there is no doubt that they will be reassured of the end product.
译：
用户可能唯一会担心的是，VR样板间是否会和最后真实产品一致。而VRoomX至今已经和不少大企业合作，积累了不少的口碑和人气，相信对于VRoomX来说这不会是问题。
VRoomX is one of the top example of high end property apps that is not only fun to try out, but is a real contender for becoming a used tool in the property industry, maybe even saving some thousands if snobbery and traditionalism doesn’t seep into the mix.

作为一款高品质VR地产应用，VRoomX不仅体验有趣，而且能够成为地产行业的实用工具，甚至可以节省大量的成本。
