Western Australia’s newest retirement village community, St Ives Carine, has unveiled bold Virtual Reality tours of the village’s apartments and facilities.

Touted as the best retirement village in the state, the futuristic method of touring offers interested individuals the ability to simply click their way around the village to get a feel for the apartments – all without the viewer having to leave their home.

Experiencing the village can also be done in complete Virtual Reality, with a set of easy to use and cheap Virtual Reality goggles, enabling the viewer to feel like they are physically standing in the apartment.

To experience immersed Virtual Reality, individuals can purchase inexpensive Virtual Reality goggles, download the St Ives application, and activate the function on their mobile phone or device.

The village operator champions the Virtual Reality tours as a great way to show someone the village who lives interstate or overseas, to get a sense of how the apartments look before coming in for a tour, or have a simple inspection without feeling any pressure.
