I am sure you are intimately familiar with the cost to build and keep a model home running? Many times, it’s thousands of dollars every month.

How cool would it be to build a virtual model home – starting at $2,500.

That is exactly what Focus 360 is doing with their brand new Value Line. I was familiar with their product and quality of work with other builders and have seen these tours before. I also knew that it was a sizeable investment. Well, now they have introduced a new product for every builder. Check out the video below of my interview with Steve Greco at the recent BIS show in California.

I always like to bring you the latest in tech and I think this product is fantastic!

You can see examples at their site www.focus360.com and click on the link on the bottom right that says New! Value Line.

(Update) Steve left a comment pointing out their recent post on the Value Line here.

I quick snippet:

Take a look at the samples below that were produced for less than half the cost of our traditional imagery and let me know what you think. We are here to partner with you and deliver the rendering, animation, video or interactive tool that fits your project’s (and budget’s) needs!

And here are the goods:
