Plot of dirt or pre-sold dream?

I sat down with Nate Robert-Eze of VSN to explore how his virtual reality and 3D rendering platform is flipping the script on architecture and real estate - before anything is actually built. Yup, it might just be a dusty plot of land, but thanks to tech, it’s already got a sales pitch.

We’re talking:
* Drone-captured, photorealistic walkthroughs
* Buyers saying “yes” without ever stepping foot on-site
* AI and spatial computing turning napkin sketches into immersive experiences

Whether you’re in AEC, a real estate developer, or just nerding out over the future, this one’s a must-listen/must-watch.
