How Mobile VR UI Design Transforms Real Estate Experiences

Preface

With the development of 5G and the impact of the COVID‑19 pandemic on the VR industry, commercial VR content has risen quickly. In 2021, VR will rapidly penetrate vertical industries, and as the VR industry chain matures, its empowering effect will create a strong flywheel.

What is "奇境"?

VR/AR/MR/XR are often heard of, but many do not know their exact meanings. XR equals VR + AR + MR (X can be seen as a variable). Our product, LinGan, is a VR interface designed for mobile media virtual spaces.

Uniqueness of the VR Interface

Typical 2D interfaces (images, icons, cards) are flat. In VR, UI elements are integrated with the surrounding panoramic space to reduce interference.

Exploration Goals

Improve visual appeal (beautiful and interesting interfaces create pleasure).

Ensure flexibility and scalability with minimal cost.

Combine conceptual design with practical implementation.

Multidimensional Exploration Direction and Visual Style

After setting goals, we explore inspiration and concepts through brainstorming, keyword extraction, and visual mapping, testing our research and abstract thinking abilities.

Online Effect vs. Style Draft Comparison

We use frosted glass and line elements to create a sense of technology and transparency. In visual exploration we generate many concepts, then adjust them based on feasibility and implementation.

Floorplan Preview Optimization

The module in the top‑left corner shows the user's current position and floorplan distribution. We simplify the floorplan with a black background and white lines to reduce visual clutter and enhance transparency.

Scene Point Switch Optimization

In 3D design we aim to guide users without distraction. The point‑switch button now uses arrows that change direction with room orientation and a rounded shape for better affinity.

New Solution Advantages – Roaming Scene

The visible area is larger and elements are more streamlined. Detailed point‑switch buttons and motion effects guide direction while increasing user goodwill. Modular functional buttons improve perception, and clearer layer division for floor and room switches reduces learning cost.

New Solution Advantages – Viewing Scene

The overall elements and modules are optimized from the existing version to lower development cost. Adjusted button heights ensure accessibility in dense scenes, and fading tooltip interactions increase perception. A masked full‑screen area separates scene layers and improves floor efficiency.

Conclusion

Commercial VR content holds strong potential in niche fields, and designers must adopt a higher perspective to understand the industry and explore possibilities. Embracing quantum‑style thinking can break old limits and unlock infinite potential, encouraging continuous curiosity and growth.
