Very interesting trends.
We see from our clients, that more and more real estate companies offer VR experience to their client for oversea real estate.
basically you can visit the flat you want to purchase oversea with VR glass and see what it looks like. (with the sanitary situation, Chinese can not travel to invest oversea)
