CBS Boston Features Path for Powering Virtual Home Tours at Boston's Ritz-Carlton Residences
Oct 5, 2025
Boston's luxury real estate market just got a glimpse of the future.
Seeing the Unbuilt
The collaboration between Ritz-Carlton, Williams Papadopoulos Designs, and VSN represents a fundamental shift in how luxury properties are marketed. Real estate agents guide prospective buyers through immersive virtual tours using a tablet that mirrors everything the VR headset displays, allowing them to virtually teleport users from room to room.
"I realized people couldn't really view 2D renderings and floor plans, and they needed to be able to see what they were going to buy without necessarily having to go there," said Nate Robert-Eze, Founder and CEO of VSN and Path Intelligence.
The virtual spaces are furnished with high-end designer pieces curated by Mark Williams of Williams Papadopoulos Designs. "That's what's so important about this VR technology," Williams noted. "In the virtual reality space, you really do feel it so much more than if you're looking at a two-dimensional rendering."
Beyond VR: The AI-Powered Future
But the technology doesn't stop at immersive visuals. Path Intelligence takes the experience even further by adding artificial intelligence to these 3D environments.
"We've built a software called Path," Robert-Eze explained to CBS Boston. "That takes that immersive 3D environment and actually adds an AI component to it. The space becomes intelligent and you can start asking questions about the space, about the area."
This means buyers can interact naturally with the environment, asking about square footage, nearby amenities, neighborhood details, and more, all while exploring their potential future home.
The Safety Factor
The VR system even accounts for the physical world. A red grid alerts users when they're approaching real-life objects, ensuring a safe experience while they're immersed in the virtual space.
What This Means for Real Estate
This technology represents more than a novelty. It solves a fundamental problem in real estate: helping people visualize and connect with spaces that don't yet exist. For developers selling pre-construction units, this capability can accelerate sales cycles and reduce buyer hesitation.
For Path, this high-profile implementation at one of Boston's most prestigious addresses validates the vision of AI-powered, immersive property discovery, and signals where the entire industry is heading.
