Senior AR/VR development talent and rates in Real Estate
Senior AR/VR development engineers serving real estate run roughly $140–$210/hr. Stack realities for this combination: RESO Web API + IDX vendors + DocuSign + Plaid earnest-money + CoreLogic property data — common integrations: MLS (RESO Web API), Zillow / Realtor.com data feeds, DocuSign / Dotloop e-signature. Geolocation showing-history, signed disclosure timestamps, agent location tracking
What AR/VR development actually requires in 2026
2026 stack: Unity 6 (still dominant), Unreal 5 (graphics-intensive), Apple Vision Pro toolkit (visionOS), Meta Quest SDK + Spark AR for Meta devices. WebXR for browser-based AR. 8th Wall for marker-less web AR. Roblox Studio for spatial-social. Senior XR engineers come from games, simulation, or specialized training-software backgrounds. Pure web/mobile devs without game-engine fluency can't build production XR — Unity/Unreal mental model is fundamentally different from web component trees.
