In 2014, McDonald Jones rolled out 3D, 360-degree cameras that let potential buyers take a virtual tour of display homes.

The company has also deployed video conferencing technology that enables tradespeople onsite to connect with offices for meetings using their iPads, iPhones, and Android devices.
