README

Draft: Project Liquid Galaxy for Real Estate Search

The idea is to build a “Liquid Galaxy” installation similiar to the ones which one can find in pretty much every Google office lobby. Ideally the installation shall be reasonably portable so that we can take it occasionally to conferences or events.

What is liquid galaxy? Well, this is how it looks like: Sample installation in Monaco

And here is the marketing text for their real estate use case:

The Liquid Galaxy provides an excellent tool for real estate brokerages and land use agencies to showcase their properties with multiple large screens showing 3D building models and complete Google Earth data. End Point can configure the Liquid Galaxy to highlight specific buildings, areas on the map, or any set of correlated land use data, which can then be shown in a dazzling display that forms the centerpiece of a conference room or lobby. We can program the Liquid Galaxy to show floor plans, panoramic interior photos, and even Google Street View ?walking tours? around a given property.

A Liquid Galaxy in your office will provide your firm with a sophisticated and cutting edge sales tool. You will depart from the traditional ways of viewing, presenting, and even managing real estate sites by introducing your clients to multiple prime locations and properties in a wholly unique, professional, and visually stunning manner. We can even highlight amenities such as mass transit, road usage, and basic demographic data for proper context.

The Liquid Galaxy allows your clients an in-depth contextual tour of multiple listings in the comfort of your office without having to travel to multiple locations. Liquid Galaxy brings properties to the client instead of taking the client to every property. This saves time and energy for both you and your prospective clients, and sets your brokerage apart as a technology leader in the market.

To get a better idea, watch the demo video (link to youtube):

Real Estate Example

During the Q2 2017 Hackdays we managed to setup a prototype system which we created using 7 old 24 inch Dell screens and 7 old Dell laptops. It worked out of the box flawlessly and we even managed to build a piece of software that would constantly search for listing in the current viewable area and depict them as icons on the map.

Here a Video (click the image) of the result from the hackdays presentation: Real Estate Example

We created a 3d model for a possible setup with 10 curved screens in 2 rows: Possible setup
