Real estate advisory portal PropTiger has acquired Gurgaon-based 3DPhy — a start-up in the field of virtual and augmented reality and 3D visualisations — the company said in a statement on Thursday.

This acquisition — a boost for the company’s 3D capabilities — will help advance PropTiger’s technological platform to further enhance hi-tech marketing solutions for developers. The company had, last year, acquired Bengaluru-based interactive technology firm OoBi.

With virtual tours across apartments, 3DPhy enables builders and brokers to showcase multiple properties on phones, laptops, tablets and head-mounted devices.

PropTiger CEO Dhruv Agarwala said: “With mobile devices overtaking desktops, the real estate sector has become one of the prime sectors where people want the ability to search anywhere, anytime, and that is a big priority for us.”

3Dphy was founded by IIT Kharagpur alumni Amit Shekhar, Rajeev Kumar, Uttam Kumar and Raghvendra Polinki.
