One of Canada’s Largest Photography Services Agencies Selects Urbanimmersive as Its Preferred 3D Tours and Floor Plans Prov...
November 24 2020 - 9:00AM
Urbanimmersive Inc. (“Urbanimmersive”, the “Company” or “UI”) (TSX
VENTURE: UI) (OTC PINK: UBMRF) is pleased to announce that EGP
TechnoVirtuel Inc. (“EGP”), one of the largest and fastest growing
photography services business in Canada, has selected
Urbanimmersive as its preferred 3D tours and floor plans provider.
After several years using other 3D scanning
solutions, EGP recently initiated a rigorous process to find an
alternative solution which would better fit both its client’s needs
and its own productivity needs. After many trials and 3D tour
technology comparisons, EGP concluded that Urbanimmersive’s new
immersive 3D tours along with its integrated floor plans offered
the most suitable solution for its high-volume real estate
photography business.
As EGP integrate Urbanimmersive 3D tours and
floor plans as one of its winning agent packages, EGP could rapidly
become one of the the largest Urbanimmersive customers in terms of
revenues.
EGP’s President, Eric Paquette, stated: “As 3D
virtual tours are now becoming the norm in the real estate industry
due to the Covid-19 pandemic, more and more photographers are
competing on virtual 3D tour prices to attract and retain agents.
High-volume photography businesses need greater production
efficiency in shootings, faster delivery time, appropriate margins
and added value to stay competitive. Urbanimmersive has proved to
exceed all these criteria thanks to their very unique platform
integrating customized and branded property websites, 3D tours, 3D
Pocket WebsitesTM and integrated floor plans.”
As clarification, real estate 3D tours can be
produced using two categories of equipment: 3D scanners and 360
cameras. 3D scanners use laser and/or infrared systems enabling
automated 3D tours creation processes. Photographers using 3D
scanners will usually have their 3D tours delivered in just a
couple of hours. 3D scanners come with a high cost of acquisition
and time on site utilization due to strict scanning rules and other
limitations. However, they usually offer a faster post-production
time, which is a prerequisite in the real estate market.
On the other hand, 360 cameras are most of the
time just imagery cameras enabling photographers to decide how they
want to showcase the final 3D environment based on the amount of
time they can allow for the photo-shooting session. As 360 cameras
do not include 3D scanning systems to assist in the creation of 3D
scenes, their post-production processes require much more time
(often counted in days) to be performed and therefore, come with a
higher cost of post-production as well.
Urbanimmersive’s 3D tours Artificial
Intelligence (“AI”) backed post-production technology significantly
reduces post-production time linked to the use of 360 cameras.
Therefore, photographers can take advantage of cheaper hardware
acquisition cost, faster shooting time on site while having their
3D tours delivered in just a couple of hours after uploading them
on the Company’ platform. Urbanimmersive proprietary algorithm also
enables charging post-production services at a fraction of the cost
of other competitive solutions on the market which is key in the
competitive real estate photography market.
“High-volume photography businesses are looking
for low cost hardware, quick photo shooting time and fast delivery
turnaround. Thanks to our advanced AI-backed automated
post-production algorithm, we can produce 3D tours and floor plans
in just a couple of minutes, with most being delivered within 24
hours depending of the amount of jobs, while compared to 2 to 5
days from some of our competitors using the 360 cameras. With the
recent launch of our premium floor plan solution, photographers do
not need to look at other solutions to deliver the full package to
their clients anymore”, stated Ghislain Lemire, Urbanimmersive’s
CEO. “Having our 3D tours and floor plans being adopted by one of
the largest photography businesses in Canada is a big endorsement
and a clear indicator that we are very well positioned to continue
attracting similar types of clients to our platform”, added
Ghislain Lemire.
