Frequently asked Questions

A virtual tour represents an interactive 3D model of a property. Furthermore, 3D scans are widely used in real estate and hospitality as a way of providing potential customers with an online “walk-through” of the space from any location.

It’s perhaps best described as “reality capture,” as that’s precisely what takes place. Moreover, the process brings any built environment directly to anyone, from anywhere, on any device. Viewers can navigate the 3D space simply by clicking or tapping their screen. They can look up or down, as well as side to side, just as they would in real life. Additionally, the transition from one point to the next within a tour is seamless. There are no visual distortions in a true 3D tour.

360 Tours, such as those found on Google Street View and many other business websites, consist of a series of 360-degree images that users can switch between to gain a basic overview of a particular location.

In contrast, a 3D Tour is much more comprehensive, immersive, interactive, and engaging. By incorporating both a 3D model and 360-degree imagery, a 3D Tour provides users with visual context about their current location and their journey through the space.

One significant distinction between 3D and 360 virtual tours lies in their verisimilitude, or how true to life they are. This is precisely why it’s known as “reality capture.” When virtual property tours are high-quality and true-to-life, consumers are more likely to substitute them for in-person visits.

Furthermore, these powerful models can help you streamline your own processes across marketing, sales, and operations. Increase bookings and manage costs all while inviting your guests to stay awhile using interactive and immersive digital twins.

This depends on a few variables.

• What is the area of the space that is to be scanned?

• How complex is the architecture or landscaping?

• Is the space open, with nothing in it or is it full furniture or machinery?

• How comprehensive do you want the scan to be?

All of these factors will contribute to how long a scan takes, and therefore, how much it will cost. Additionally, we offer a standard square metre rate, a day rate, or can charge per scan position, giving you the flexibility to choose the option that best fits your needs!

Moreover, how you answer the above questions will affect the software subscription required to create and host your 3D Tours and Experiences.

Furthermore, we also have a variety of comprehensive packages available that reduce the need for planning or guesswork. Don’t hesitate to get in touch today to find out more!

The biggest downside to a 3D Tour is the software subscription fee. The fees are low, but they are necessary for the tours to function. Nonetheless, as an investment, the cost of the scan and the software fees are insignificant in comparison to the potential return they will bring to your business.
