Pitch
Pitch
VDroom is a platform that enables you to create virtual reality websites for hotels, rental apartments and holiday resorts, for the viewing pleasure of all VR glasses users. The websites, and the properties presented on them, are search engine friendly, which increases the potential traffic to the website.
The unique VR experience will improve the way that the properties are viewed and their overall user experience, and in turn, increases the conversion rate.
Today, property owners only present their properties with pictures and videos. No solution exists that enables them to display them in VR, which prevents potential users from getting the valuable information that they so often seek in order to make informed decisions. Recent research suggests that images affect 69% of user’s decision when making a reservation. Now, thanks to VDroom, users will be able to really see and experience the rich live tour of the property, which will lead to more reservations.
Today, a property owner interested in increasing his bookings via VR, needs to pay a camera crew, and choose and install an application on which to edit and display the images. This is both time consuming and costly. Additionally, the user experience with these applications onto are very limited.
Problems of the current models:
1.Requires installation.
2.There is no ability to search, navigate and activate many basic features (such as placing an order whilst in the VR experience).
3.Applicable only on the property owner’s website and not on leading online booking websites such as booking.com
Our Solution:
-
The software is easy to use, and the user does not need to install any software.
-
The ability to search, navigate and book in VR.
-
The software can support millions of simultaneous users and has unlimited growth potential.
-
The systems has an advanced admin dashboard, which provides detailed insights to the orders in conversions rate.
-
Users can view the properties and place the actual orders whilst still in the VR experience. The software will change the web surfing experience and eliminate the need of the mouse or the keyboard. The software tracks eye movement in order to activate the various options
-
The VDroom software (just like Wix - no coding experience needed), uploads all the materials and Presto! - VDroom makes the materials accessible in VR and connects the website with all the leading online booking websites - all without the need to download any software. Additionally, VDroom enables potential customers to easily search, experience and make reservations whilst in the VR experience.
The VDroom websites work seamlessly with Chrome, Safari, Microsoft Edge and all other major web browsers - without the need to download any plugins or any other software.
Provides the property owners a way of differentiating themselves from others, buy enabling potential guests to better view the properties and therefore reduce their concerns regarding the properties suitability. This in turn increases the conversion rate.
Highlights:
1.No need to download any software.
2.Navigation and booking features without exiting the VR glasses.
3.Huge market potential for the property owners and the company.
4. The VR experience will enable users to view and interact in the property, and then place an order - with or without the VR glasses. The software can be used with any basic smartphone along with simple 3d glasses.
What does the hotel/property owner have to do to enjoy this unique technology?
* Open an account with VDroom.
* Choose your prefered premium template.
* Upload images and videos (drag & drop).
* Click “Go VR” and the website is ready (including SEO friendly features built in).
* Photography services at attractive prices will be made available in all major locations.
Current Status:
* Working product to present to potential clients.
* Negotiations with numerous hotels, including the Hilton.
* The Company intends to launch the product in June 2017.
The Button:
VDroom will provide hotels and other property owners with the option to use a private label button (“View in VR”) which will enable their users to view their properties in VR, thus increasing their conversion rates. The use of the button will be done via their existing websites, and will lead the users to the unique VR websites created specifically for the property owners. This feature will include an interface for platforms such as booking.com and the likes.
Good to know:
VDroom not only sees itself as the supplier of quality content for hotels and property owners, but as a leading experience creator which simultaneously increases conversion for online bookings in the accommodation industry.
Business Model:
At present, there is no easily available content in the VR world, which is why our model, just like Wix, is to enable property owners to create a VR website.
The cost of establishing a website. At the second stage, we intend to also profit from clicks on a unique VR button which we intend to place on all the leading online booking websites in the world, for example Booking.com.
Another business revenue is receiving percentages of orders or visits made via the platform/VR websites
