Makaan Mobile App Allows You To Point Your Handset And Find Your New Home

The new feature is based on augmented reality and allows you to find properties while just walking on a street or standing in front of a tower.

 

Elara Technologies which now owns Makaan.com has today announced a new feature on its Android app, which is based on augmented reality, called as ‘Makaan View’.

According to the company, this new feature on the Makaan app allows the user to search for nearby properties, both for buy and rent by simply pointing the mobile phone to a preferred direction to instantly get a glimpse of all the properties within a 5 km radius. The company also mentions that the new feature automatically detects if the phone is in horizontal mode and suggests users to switch to maps view.

However, the feature is currently available only on the Android platform and all that the user has to do is to download the Makaan app on their phone and select ‘find properties near me’ option to be able to use this feature.

This feature allows you to stand in front of a tower and know how many properties are on the market or just walk on a street to see which properties are available around them. In order to give the user a blended view of real properties and digital data, the property details are superimposed on top of the camera view. Users can further refine their search based on various parameters like budget, number of bedrooms, distance, property type and even furnishing status.

Commenting on the launch Ravi Bhushan, Chief Product and Technology Officer, PropTiger.com, Housing.com and Makaan.com said, “As technology continues to evolve, consumers are willing to try new and innovative products that push the boundaries. By providing consumers with an easy-to-use app filled with helpful features like MakaanView, we aim to put the home search process where consumers want it most - in the palm of their hand. The MakaanView feature is designed and developed to meet the needs of our users with industry-leading technology that is both powerful and easy-to-use.”
