Floored: Reimagining 3D Experiences for the Real World [Sponsored Content]
Released on 02/19/2014
Being in New York,
one is surrounded by real estate
and you're sort of constantly aware of it.
We really knew that there was a better solution
to be had for how we experience
real estate digitally.
My name is David Eisenberg,
I'm the co-founder and CEO of Floored.
Floored got started in the middle of 2012
when we became aware that there wasn't
a viable three D solution
for interactive communication
for the real estate industry at that time.
Instead of looking at two dimensional
black and white floorplans,
what about looking through full color,
completely immersive totally accurate
three dimensional models of spaces?
That was a vision that we all got excited about.
And so we started a company
to really execute on that.
We've used a variety
of virtual reality devices
to help people feel what it's like to be inside.
We can take a tenant
and actually place them inside of a space
that they're considering purchasing.
At Floored we really believe
that virtual reality can make life better
by building digital experiences
that actually mirror or parallel
what's possible in the real world.
And so in everything that we do,
we need our computing to be super fast.
We've always been on the latest hardware
on the latest processors.
There's an Intel processor
in every computer in the company.
We really benefit when Intel moves
the needle on speed of processing
on things like the Intel two in one PC
that are flexible or agile
in terms of how one interacts with the device.
You can touch to move furniture.
You walk through a space using your hand.
That's the same exact functionality
that will be really helpful.
The ability to lay out a space.
These are all experiences that
may work better in three D
than in traditional two D.
Some of my favorite projects are ones
that I know are going to touch a lot of people.
Take the example of a physically disabled person
who might want to go and visit a museum
half way around the world.
Now imagine sitting down in your home office
and being able to virtually travel there.
Every year as we're upgrading
our computing to get faster and faster,
we're looking to Intel to develop
newer and faster devices
which will in turn,
allow us to build software
that will deliver a better
experience to our customer.
