As a follow-up to my recent "The Future of Real Estate Video?" post, I have another amazing piece of technology prototype eye-candy that is sure to have a future in real estate videos.

It's called VideoTrace, and it's a research project out of Australia.

Given a video of the inside and outside of a property, one could construct a complete interactive 3D model of the property and make the virtual tour of the future an actual 3D environment that you can walk through like a video game. This also has implications for staging. You will be able to completely stage a house digitally at a fraction of the cost of the real thing.

Enjoy!
