Feel Like Flying To Work? VRWorkplace.com Makes It a Reality

3Dwalkthroughs.com came across an interesting application utilizing 3D Virtual World Technology. VRWorkplace was founded by Dave Elchoness, an experienced attorney and HR consultant, who realized that there were many challenges facing organizations that struggle to maintain and improve productivity and efficiency despite distance, cultural differences, and tight travel budgets. A 3D virtual environment could tackle a lot of these challenges and make a person's location irrelevant.

VRWorkplace advises enterprises on how virtual reality can benefit their employees, customers, and members. The service provides a realistic and practical way of eliminating the challenges of distance, improving collaboration, and enriching relationships.

We believe early adopters and pioneers such as Dave will play a big role in the success and utilization of 3D Virtual Worlds for "Real World Business" applications.

Aside from entrepeneurs such as Dave, an increased number open minded CEO's will also be required for this type of technology to explode. We thoroughly believe that in 3-5 years, websites as we know them today will be obsolete, and companies such as VRWorkplace will be the norm.

Another interesting note: IBM launched a TV spot during the Playoff games on Saturday which talked about virtual world technology, and the debate over whether or not real business could get done in a virtual environment. I think the answer to that questions lies in the fact that IBM was willing to pay the exhorbitant amount of money it costs to post an ad during a playoff game.

Using 3D Floor Plans To Choose a Hotel Room

As per yesterday's post, some of the 3Dwalkthroughs.com staff is currently visiting Las Vegas. Each time we come to Vegas we try and stay in a different hotel just to mix things up a bit.

This time we selected the Mandalay Bay. I must say it is one of the nicest hotels on the strip. Aside from very spacious rooms and a helpful staff, the lobby and common areas are very opulent.

When choosing a hotel room, especially in Vegas where there are many choices, it would be very helpful to have 3D Floor Plans to view on a hotels website. 3D Floor Plans give a much more telling view of a hotel room than typical 2D Floor Plans or even pictures.

Even better than just 3D Floor Plans are Interactive 3D Floor Plans. These floor plans allow for other media types to be integrated into the 3D Plan such as: Video, Pictures, Text, and even panoramic images.

We have been urging many of these hotels to start including 3D Floor Plans on their websites...we will see if they heed our advice.

3D Walkthroughs and Other Marketing Materials Can Help Lure European Investors Looking To Take Advantage of Weak The US Dollar

An article in today's NY Times describes a phenomenon that happens every year beginning right after Thanksgiving. The phenomenon is the larger than normal influx of tourists visiting from around the world. The big joke is that if you are looking to find a native New Yorker during Christmas time, the last place you want to look is New York City.

The difference this year compared to previous years is, in addition to stores and malls being packed with tourists, real estate offices are also busy with tourists (specifically European) looking to take advantage of the weak US dollar by purchasing NYC condo properties. Many of these tourists are looking at these properties as investments as opposed to a changing their residences.

Below are a couple of quotes from the article. The full article can be found here>>>

“The exchange rate is like a gift from God for Europeans,” said Danielle Grossenbacher, the broker for Coldwell Banker Hunt Kennedy who showed the Millers around. “Everybody is feeling they have an opportunity to purchase a piece of Manhattan.”

“We’d have had difficulty absorbing the elevated level of new development coming on the market without foreign buyers,” Mr. Miller said. “They are a key source of demand for new development.”

Foreign buyers are helping shield Manhattan from the housing slowdown that has plagued the rest of the nation and are providing a ready market for thousands of newly built condominiums. They like condos for the amenities and flexible rules that allow renting the apartments as investments. That many units are in neighborhoods that are not traditionally residential like Midtown and the financial district does not seem to bother the shoppers. They like that those neighborhoods are well known.

3Dwalkthroughs.com believes that the influx of European condo shoppers emphasizes the growing need for 3D Walkthroughs, 3D Renderings and 3D Floor Plans of properties that are not yet built. Foreign investors can make the most of their time in NYC by using our 3D assets to preview development properties from the luxury of their home computer. This helps them to narrow the number of properties they need to visit while in New York.

As I said in yesterday's post, within every tough market lies hidden opportunities.

Noisette - New Development Project in South Caroina

The staff at 3Dwalkthroughs.com is currently visiting Charleston, South Carolina to meet with one of the top real estate agents in the nation. During our down time we were able to check out some of the sights and sounds of downtown Charleston. We became friendly with former New Yorkers and current owners of the contemporary clothing and accessories store BZAR. It must have been our lucky day as it turned out the owners were hosting a huge party at the site of a very ambitious new development project. The party featured artists, DJ's and breakdancers (the breakdancers were certainly not from New York).

After returning home from the party we investigated this development project further. The project entitled Noisette, is being developed on a 3,000 acre plot of land in North Charleston. The website provides intimate details of the project including some 3D Renderings and video. In an effort to make sure all the details of this impressive project are explained correctly, please read the description below taken directly from their website. For such a large project they are the perfect candidate for our 3D Walkthroughs, 3D Renderings and 3D Floor Plans.

Here is the description of the project. Source: Noisettesc.com website.

What is Noisette?
Noisette is a 3,000 acre city-within-a-city. It is an area of North Charleston, South Carolina targeted for integrated restoration as a sustainable community – modeled on the belief that cities must be equally responsive to social needs, environmental responsibility and economic vitality (the philosophy embodied by people, planet, prosperity).

The Noisette community boundaries are roughly those that defined North Charleston when that community was incorporated in 1973. However, in the last 30 years, through annexation and “green-field” subdivision development, North Charleston has expanded into one of the state’s largest cities. Today, the Noisette area represents only a small corner of its parent city.

What’s Noisette like today?
Located beside the Cooper River, the main tributary of the South’s most famous harbor, the Noisette area supports a racially and economically diverse population of 13,000 people, plus a daily influx of thousands of workers, shoppers, students and others. It includes a wide mix of neighborhoods, retail areas, industries, schools, municipal buildings and parks, many of which have remained relatively stable in profile despite the rapid development of the Charleston/North Charleston metropolitan area.

For example, historic Noisette neighborhoods like Liberty Hill – founded in 1878 as a community of freed slaves – include many homes occupied by fifth generation owners. The layout of Park Circle, a mixed-use recreation center designed in the late 19th century, still reflects its original vision as a leisurely melting pot for residents and visitors. The East Montague Avenue business district looks much as it did in the days of two-dollar haircuts.

Other assets of interest include a network of tidal creeks, marshes and protected wetlands bordering the Cooper River. There’s also a range of well-preserved architectural structures and details, especially on property developed by the U.S. Navy. Their engineers arrived in 1901 to build a major base and shipyard, then the Navy’s collection of residential and industrial structures was vacated during the base closures of 1995. That base closure was the trigger for development of the Noisette concept.

Who’s behind the Noisette project?
In a unique public-private partnership, the Noisette Company and the City of North Charleston teamed up in the late 1990s to revitalize the Noisette area. In exchange for the right to purchase 400 acres of old Navy base property at the city-appriased fair market value – a small portion of the land promised to the city after the Navy’s departure – Noisette Company principal John Knott agreed to launch a master planning effort on an unprecedented scale.

The master plan would:
Outline Noisette Company plans for the development of their proprietary section of the old Navy base, and help guide the city’s efforts to redevelop the adjacent 2,600 acres of private residential neighborhoods, private commercial structures, and municipal property.

Contracting with two of the country’s premier architectural and land planning firms, and in consultation with an international group of environmental, social and professional organizations, Knott’s team created an outline for restoration of a healthy, sustainable, human-scale community.

The plan seeks to preserve historic architectural styles, neighborhood diversity and the area’s unique social fabric. It also works to restore environmental stability and beauty, attract jobs, improve services like education and healthcare, reduce dependence on car travel, promote recreation, eliminate the foundations of crime and poverty, and strengthen the sense of pride many North Charleston resident feel toward their community.

After years of development, community input and revisions, the master plan was presented to the City of North Charleston in December 2003. It was reviewed in community meetings, neighborhood gatherings and private one-on-one sessions. And it was accepted by the City as satisfaction of the Noisette Company’s contractual agreement in early 2004.

New Search Tool in Second Life Helps Users Find 3D Objects

Second Life recently released a search tool built on a platform available from Google to help residents find 3D Objects more easily. In the past residents could perform very general searches but did not have the ability to find specific objects or events.

The new tool will list the results of a search in order of relevance as opposed to just listing them alphabetically. Jeska Dzwigalski, who is in charge of community and product development at Linden Lab, explains that the tool also allows residents to search much more specifically. In addition to being able to search for objects, residents can now look for information--about hobbies, for example--in each other's profiles. Dzwigalski says she expects that being able to search profile information will improve Second Life's social features.

As Second Life and various other 3D virtual worlds gain popularity, the ability to search for specific 3D objects/events/profiles will only help to improve their social networking and e-commerce capabilities. In order for 3D objects to show up in a search the object must be tagged so the search engine can recognize them.

A good search engine for 3D objects will also become much more important as applications are launched that allow residents of one virtual world to pass into other virtual worlds. The challenge of making a search engine interconnect within various virtual worlds compares to the early days of creating a search engine for the internet.

3Dwalkthroughs.com has been actively speaking with a few virtual world technology companies about integrating our 3D Renderings and 3D Walkthroughs into their virtual worlds. The goal is to produce a much more realistic virtual experience.
In the next few years we believe the lines will truly be blurred between virtual and reality.

Get Out Your 3D Credit Cards - Virtual Shopping is Coming To a Computer Near You

Boston based, Kinset Inc. has announced the launch of Kinset 3D Stores. This new technology gives retailers the ability to build 3D virtual stores that have the same look and feel as their real life brick and mortar stores.

In the next 6 months Brookstone and Tweeter will launch online virtual stores created with the Kinset technology. Currently there are 2 stores available for testing out the technology, a bookstore and an electronics emporium. These stores have over 10,000 items on display with a purchasing mechanism integrated with Amazon.com.

“Powerful personal computers and fast broadband Web connectivity allowed us to build the first software technology that can present realistic online stores in 3D” said John Butler, CEO of Kinset.

Shopping in one of the Kinset virtual stores involves downloading a free piece of software. (the download was very quick and takes up very little space). One of nice features of downloading the software is the frequent updates that occur whenever a user logs into their account.

The 3Dwalkthroughs.com staff has downloaded the public store and found the shopping experience very easy and fun to use. We imagine that the Kinset technology will eventually move away from a strictly Amazon based purchasing mechanism.

Earlier attempts at building 3D online stores couldn’t handle the thousands of items on display in real stores but this has been overcome as a result of improved computer processing speeds. As we have mentioned in previous posts, now that Intel is getting involved in building a 3D internet, we expect computer processing speeds to improve dramatically over the next year.

Very similar to a commercial property developer using our 3D walkthroughs, 3D floor plans and 3D renderings to test and market their concepts before their properties are built, Kinset software provides retailers the ability to test actual store designs, layouts and merchandising in a live testing environment. For example a retailer can create mulitple store designs with various product placements within the store, and then track the results using Kinset's detailed analytical output.

We will certainly be following the progress of this company and look forward to seeing the other national retailers adopting this new technology.

NY Mets - At Least We Have a New Stadium To Look Forward To

I am sure that I speak for all NY Met Fans when I say...nothing, just stare at the TV in disbelief. What will go down in history as one of the biggest chokes in sports history has happened right in our backyard. Approximately 17 days ago the NY Mets had a 7 game lead in their division and were all but assured a playoff berth. Yesterday's loss assured them of the contrary as they were officially knocked out of the playoff's.

However, today is Monday and we must look on the bright side. In another year or so we will be moving into the new Citi Field Stadium. With the hard work of more than 400 skilled professionals, construction of Citi Field continues to progress at an accelerated pace this summer. I am blown as I witness the daily progress on my way to the 3Dwalkthroughs.com office every day. To see 3D Walkthroughs and 3D Renderings of the new Citi Field stadium go Here>>>

Progress Update Taken From NY Mets Website.

Approximately 70% of Citi Field's structural steel frame has been installed.
More than 60% of the stadium concrete plank - the tiered concrete structures that will support the stadium seats - has been installed. This now includes the seating areas for the main concourse as well as portions of the Suite Level.

Out in center field, the main scoreboard steel supports have been set in place and the bridge at the Diamond Plaza that will one day overlook the bullpens has been constructed.

The brick façade, or architectural precast, is well on its way to totally enclosing the administration building, including the future retail/storefront space that fronts 126th Street. Fans traveling down Roosevelt Avenue can also see the rich brick exterior enveloping the south side of Citi Field continuing its march toward the Jackie Robinson Rotunda.

3D Internet - Part 2

A week ago 3Dwalkthroughs.com mentioned the keynote address to be given by Intel's CTO Justin Rattner describing his view on a 3D Internet and how it could transform the online experience.

Intel is taking the 3D internet extremely seriously because it will take large increases in computing power to make a 3D internet possibile. As one of the largest chip makers in the world, this could significantly benefit Intel's bottom line.

Along with an increase in processing power, Justin also pointed out some other elements that will need to be improved to make a 3D internet a reality. These elements include: Improved servers that handle many concurrent users, more realistic graphics, standardized user interface and avatar specifications and better navigational devices.

3Dwalkthroughs.com is actively researching the various programming protocols which will be the building blocks of a 3D internet. As part of this research we have been testing the integration of 3rd party avatars into our 3D walkthroughs and Interactive 3D products.

Each week we will give an update on the findings of our research into the upcoming 3D Internet...stay tuned.

MySpace Mobile - Another Step in The Virtual Direction

In what 3Dwalkthroughs.com believes to be another step towards the convergence of social networking platforms and virtual worlds, MySpace.com has announced the launch of a free version for mobile phones.

Starting today, anyone with a Web-enabled mobile phone or PDA can access a scaled-down version of MySpace which can be used to update friend requests, post messages or just surf a mobile ready version of the site.

While users will be subject to advertisements, provided and powered by Baltimore's Millennial Media, we still believe this is an important step forward towards the coming 3D Internet.

John Smelzer, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Fox Interactive Media states "We believe that everybody who's accessing the Internet from a PC will access the Internet from a mobile device… It will become a mainstream activity."

As mobile phone technology continues to improve, allowing for fully interactive content, (i.e. The ability to access/interact with a virtual world through a mobile device)so will the speed of the convergence of social networking platforms and virtual worlds.

While we have been able to view our 3D Walkthroughs on an iPhone, we still are looking forward to the day when one of our clients can fully experience one of our Interactive 3D products directly from their mobile device.

Meez - Easily Create a Custom Avatar For The Upcoming 3D Internet

San Francisco based, Donnerwood Media recently launched the beta version of their new website Meez which offers advanced avatar-building technology and a huge selection of content options. The Meez website enables consumers to create highly-customized 3D avatars in minutes which can be used all over the Internet as personal identifiers.

The staff at 3Dwalkthroughs.com had some good laughs testing out this new website. It was extremely easy to create a customized avatar that is suprisingly similar to our real life appearances. It was also funny comparing how we view ourselves to the avatars we have created on the Meez site. I created the avatar representing myself in about 5 minutes.

Custom Avatar creation will be a critical component in the rise of the 3D internet. If you have some time I would recommend registering on the site and creating a 3D Avatar. It is free and a lot of fun.

Real 3D Views Delivered On Any Screen? (Revolver Ltd.)

The founders of imaging technology start-up Revolver Ltd. have launched a new product said to deliver 3D animation which currently exists in computer games and films, to many readily available screens such as: Internet Browsers, Mobile Phones and microwave display panels.

While there are no samples on their website their technology sounds very intriguing. 3DWalkthroughs.com will be exploring this technology in more detail to determine if any synergies exist that might give our 3D Walkthroughs and Interactive 3D Floor Plans another edge over competitors.

Here is additional information about this new product taken directly from the Revolver website.

Technology

Revolver’s technology, OL3D™, overcomes this challenge by enabling 3D content on any 2D environment without installation of complicated 3D hardware and/or software. OL3D™ uses data manipulation algorithms on the polygonal data of 3D models, providing real-time rendering of 3D content in 2D computer graphic environments such as Adobe Flash, Java and other 2D environments.

The solution is based on the OL3D™ core technology which rapidly creates real-time interactive 3D-based content such as games and animations on 2D environments, and solves familiar problems such as CPU efficiency, large file sizes, long development cycles, restricted content and applications, and third party development platforms. This makes OL3D™ very simple to implement in a cross platform context that also is relevant for commercial use.

About Revolver
“We are very pleased and proud to provide developers and designers with the capability and simplicity to present rich 3D content in devices and displays. The ability to develop and implement native real-time 3D content on any 2D environments will enable content providers to offer a much richer and expanded content delivery across the various platforms and to significantly increase the end user’s experience and satisfaction.” Amir Fischer, CEO, Revolver.

3D Worlds Made Easy

As 3Dwalkthroughs.com has been discussing over the last few months it is just a matter of time before the the convergence of the virtual worlds and social networking platforms kicks into high gear.

Today, a free tool, Metaplace has launched that allows anyone to create a 3D online world for a PC or mobile phone without any programming experience. It is quite possible that Metaplace might be the fuse that is responsible for the explosion of virtual social networking platforms.

Metaplace was developed by Raph Koster, a developer of multiplayer online games such as Ultima Online.

The main difference between Metaplace and other virtual worlds is that it is completely web based and does not require any large downloads. It has been built to be used for gaming, socialising or e-commerce, can be embedded in a webpage, facebook profile or blog.

"We are out to democratise virtual worlds and bring them to absolutely anybody," said Mr Koster, founder of Areae, the company behind Metaplace.

"You can come to the site, press a button and have a functioning virtual world that supports multiple users in about 30 seconds."

"We modelled this on the web," said Mr Koster. "You can think about each world being a webpage and every object within in it is a link."

Another feature of Metaplace is that once created, a link can be easily mailed to someone and instantly they are logged in to your world.

One of the biggest and most exciting aspects of Metaplace is that it is free. This will open up the door to many creative applications that were not previously doable due to budgetary concerns.

We are just starting to jump in with both feet and will report on our findings. I wonder how well it will intergrate with some of our existing products such as: 3D Renderings and 3D Floor Plans...check back soon and we will let you know.

Taking The Rise of a 3D Internet Seriously

The CTO of Intel, Justin Rattner will be giving a keynote presentation entitled: “Research & Development: Virtual Worlds – The Rise of the 3D Internet” at the Fall Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco.

Intel, has also announced its acquisition of Havok, a provider of software and services used by game developers and virtual worlds such as Second Life.

As more large companies are taking the coming of the "3D Internet" seriously, 3DWalkthroughs.com is actively pursuing various relationships to prepare for a revolution in the way we interact with the internet. We are looking forward to Justin's keynote presentation and hearing his views on the future.

We predict that in order for companies to stay competitive in the near future, their websites will need to incorporate at least some degree of interaction in the 3rd Dimension as well as incorporating a social networking component. It is just a matter of time before a virtual sales person will meet you at the front door of a 3D Walkthrough and give you a personal tour.

3D Virtual Worlds and Social Networking Sites are Targeted By Online Criminals

A six-month threat report released by computer security experts, Symantec, states: "There is an increasing trend towards attacks on social environments like Facebook and Linkedin, where the quality and quantity of private information is such that attacks can be more focused."

In other words, online criminals can incorporate information gathered from social networking sites and virtual worlds to add legimitacy to fraudelent emails by being highly specific in nature. By referencing a person's hobbies or past weekend activities in an email, an unsuspecting victim might be more likely to give access to their private banking account information.

While 3Dwalkthroughs.com certainly is not suprised that this type of activity is starting to become more prominent, we hope that it does not ultimately hinder the convergence of virtual worlds and social networking platforms. As we have been predicting for the past year, we believe it is just a matter of time before most online social platforms will involve the ability for avatars to walk through and interact in very realistic 3D environments. It will be a shame if the movment towards this convergence is slowed down because of a few "bad eggs".

3D Walkthroughs in Israel?

Much has been discussed lately about the boom in high-end real estate development occuring in Israel. Along with an increase in development, Israel is also experiencing a large overall increase in the price required to own one of these luxury development properties.

Similar to New York, the potential buyers of these luxury properties are somewhat insulated from the real estate crisis facing the rest of the world. They are generally people with large assets and/or foreign investors with deep pockets.

3Dwalkthroughs.com believes this is the perfect market to promote 3D Walkthroughs, 3D Renderings and Interactive 3D Floor Plans for two main reasons:
1) The price tag of these developments coupled with the sophistication of it's buyer warrant the use of a more sophisticated marketing tool.
2) As many of these investors are foreign investors, using marketing tools such as a
3D Walkthrough allows them to see the property in fine detail from a remote location way before the property is built.

I guess it is time to meet with our travel agent and start planning our trip to Israel.

iPhone - Mobile 3D Walkthroughs

As I mentioned a few weeks ago, I was going to be taking the plunge and test driving an iPhone. One of my main motivations for wanting to switch to the iPhone was the desire to load some of my 3D Walkthroughs and 3D Rendering samples on a device that was extremely easy to carry.

I can honestly say that after a week of showing 3dwalkthroughs.com samples to various clients from the iPhone, I am extremely pleased.

The iphone display is crystal clear and really provides a good sized screen when turned to a horizontal postiion. Because the response from clients has been so positive I really feel the iPhone can replace my laptop in many instances.

The next generation of the iPhone will certainly be an effective way for developers to mail out full multi-media listing presentations directly to a potential buyer's iPhone. I will continue you to post my experiences with the iPhone as I have more time to play with it.

Print a 3D Model of Your Property (Desktop Factory)

3Dwalkthroughs.com is always on the lookout for innovative uses of 3D Technology. Today, I came across a Pasadena-based company, Desktop Factory, that has developed a lower-cost 3D desktop printer as compared to it's costly predecessors. Desktop Factory announced that the company will begin accepting reservations for its forthcoming printer, with intentions to bring 3D printing to the masses.

Imagine being able to print a durable 3D Model of a property as a complement to a 3D Walkthrough or 3D Rendering. The 3D Model could be painted and enclosed in glass in a sales office, making for a very effective marketing tool or even as a tool for architects to better gauge the end result of their drawings before a property is built.

ABOUT DESKTOP FACTORY
Our Passion
Our goal is to one day make 3D printing as common in offices, factories, schools and homes as laser printers are today. Just as desktop publishing exploded as prices dropped and laser printers became ubiquitous, so too will new uses for 3D printing emerge as devices become inexpensive and widely available.

Desktop Factory was started by Idealab in 2004 to realize this goal. Collectively, our team has over 100 years of experience in 3D printing, laser printing and CAD/CAM. We are combining these talents to bring 3D printing capability to designers, engineers, students and eventually hobbyists and other home users.

A Chink in The Armor of NY Real Estate?

An article in today's NY Sun describes various tactics used by developers to offset the slow but evident effect the mortgage crisis is having on residential real estate in Manhattan.

For months, industry experts and local NY developers have thought they were insulated from the residential crisis blanketing the rest of the country. With various new incentives being offered to try and lure buyers to new developments, this insulation seems to be getting thinner.

Some of the incentives 3dwalkthroughs.com has seen offered by NY developers include: The promise to cover buyers' closing costs, offering brokers higher commissions, paying two months of maintenance and the first month of common charges and insurance, etc.

It will be interesting to see if brokers react to potential higher commissions by investing in marketing tools such as 3D Walkthroughs and Interactive 3D Floor Plans or they simply rely on the "sweeter" deals that can be offered by these new developer incentives.

Can 3D Walkthroughs Benefit Emergency First Responders?

3Dwalkthroughs.com is very confident that 3D Walkthroughs and Interactive 3D Floor Plans will continue to be the pre-sales property marketing tools of choice for new development projects. However, on the day after 9/11 coupled with this morning's earthquake that toppled many buildings in Indonesia, I cannot help but wonder how our technology can be utilized to benefit emergency first responders, trapped in an unfamiliar setting.

Clearly one of the concerns with archiving interior 3D walkthroughs would be security. If detailed layouts of public properties are available to everyone, this potentially gives the "bad guys" information they can use to harm us.

Another issue is the ability to send these 3D products to emergency first responders while they are on their way to an event. As mobile technology continues to improve this should become less of an issue, but it does seem to pose a problem today.

Needless to say we are very open to any suggestions that might address these 2 issues and allow us or any other 3D company to offer emergency first responders a tool that will help them better navigate in unfamiliar surroundings.

Charleston Your Home - Embracing Web 2.0 Technology

Every once in a while 3Dwalkthroughs.com comes across a company that has the "IT" factor. Whether it be the companies marketing materials, business philosophy or disposition of the business owner, you just know the company is going to be succesful.

Over the past month we have been speaking with real estate broker, Diane Szoke of South Carolina. Diane has just announced the launch of her new real estate agency, Charleston your home, and we believe her company is a perfect example of this phenomenon.

Charleston Your Home offers the flexibility of a boutique agency, the scope of a national company, and committed sales associates who excel in marketing properties across the Lowcountry.

Diane is committed to adopting the best of Web 2.0 technology and as a result is able to offer her clients a dynamic and successful Internet marketing plan, a must in today's complex, fast moving marketplace. 3Dwalkthroughs.com is working very hard to ensure that our 3D Walkthroughs, 3D Renderings and Interactive 3D Floor Plans meet her high standards.

Although Charleston Your Home is licensed to sell real estate in both South Carolina and North Carolina, Charleston Your Home can still be of service to other areas as well. If you hear of anyone who is thinking of buying or selling a home, and want to deal with a company on the cutting edge, give Charleston Your Home a call (843)324-9645, or visit their website: CharlestonYourHome.com
