Integrating VR\AR technology into short-term rental services, Airbnb wants tenants to "see" rooms

In order to meet customers' other needs, Airbnb, a short-term rental platform in the US, has been increasing its service content. For example, VR has reported that Airbnb and Matterport have launched 3 D virtual browsing services. In addition, it also works with WeWork to help business travel customers find office seats, or to provide apartment buildings to facilitate long-term leases for customers, which can take up to several quarters. Although full expansion, Airbnb does not ignore the main business. Recently, Airbnb announced that it intends to introduce some cool technologies, namely Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) technology, to allow tenants to appreciate the room he wants to rent at a close distance.

Integrating VR and AR technologies into services, Airbnb is still in its early stages and there is only one broad plan. In the blog post, Airbnb predicts that users can use VR technology to observe the room before traveling. The company will use 360-degree photos and 3D scanning technology to help tenants view the house. They can also check the city and set it before departure. During the travel process, AR technology helps tenants to adapt in advance, such as telling the tenant how to use the room (such as how to unlock), and can also translate the guide signs. New technologies can also introduce local culture.

Obviously, Airbnb's idea is quite tempting, but it is not specific. In the end, how does the company prepare to implant VR/AR technology into its service? It is hoped that it will disclose detailed plans. Or let Airbnb tell us who it is going to work with and integrate the immersion experience into the service.
