Why are virtual tours important?

Virtual tours are a game changer for all industries. This technology adds value to your product and expands your audience. It also keeps your clients or guests on the page, which will make them more likely to use your services.

They will be able to engage with any virtual tour anywhere in the world, at any time of the day. Whether it be on their mobile, their computer or even better, a virtual reality headset, they will immerse themselves completely in the space, as if they were really there.

In which industries can 3D tours be useful?

Residential: A virtual tour enables potential clients, overseas or unable to attends viewings, to visit and picture themselves in the property, whether for sale or for rent. This would be your open house, open at all times of day and night, available all over the world.

Travel & Hospitality: Show your guests what is on offer – the spa, the bar, the different suites available. By showing them exactly what is at their disposal, your guests will be excited for their trip but also more prepared for it. Whether they are renting a villa, staying in a luxurious resort, traveling on a yacht or a floating hotel, the more information they have, the better.

Event Spaces: Having virtual tours of your event space helps potential clients see what is available at your venue; if it is suitable to their needs or if they need to adapt to the space. After physically visiting the venue, it will help them remember the configuration and better organise their event without having to go back.

Museums & Art Exhibits: Allow people from all over the world to experience your display / installation. Tags can be added to your virtual tour to enhance the visit, and provide the viewer with more information about a painting, photograph or the exhibition itself, as if they were reading the information card or leaflet provided in the museum or art gallery.

What are the advantages of using Matterport?

Dollhouse: The dollhouse allows a property or space to be viewed in 3D. It also allows the viewers to rotate it to view all angles of the space, and understand how the different floors, rooms fit together, in a way you would not see if you were to visit said space.

Floor-plan: Schematic floor-plans can be provided once tour is complete.

Walk Through like no other

HD photos: High definition photos can be extracted from the virtual tour, but also 360 degrees views, which look great on social media platforms such as Facebook or Instagram.

Tags: Tags are a great addition to any tour, providing more information about original features in a home, the price of a hotel suite or anything that is important for you to mention and for potential guests or clients to see.
