The Proptech Podcast with Kylie Davies
October, 2019
Kylie Davies Podcast, Spotify
Proptech Podcast, Eposide 1
The Proptech Podcast is where property and innovation collide. Each week we introduce listeners to a proptech innovator who is pushing the boundaries of what's possible in real estate and explore the issues and challenges raised by the tech. In our first episode, meet Dan Swan, the founder of RealAR, which turns 2D floorplans into a virtual walkthrough. RealAR cures us all of a condition called 'aphantasia' - an inability to visualise 2D drawings as a 3D concept. Most of us have it - and the cost of this is significant in the building industry because it creates extraordinary fear and anxiety around whether what we've planned is actually going to work.
RealAR doesn't require a lot of expensive technology - it works on your smartphone. And it's set to revolutionize selling off-the-plan, architecturally designed homes and how we visualize renovations, new builds and even how councils approve developments.
