We’re written this article to outline the top 10 reasons why we recommend Matterport and why we believe it’s the best virtual tour for Michigan businesses.
What is a Virtual Tour?
A virtual tour is a multimedia representation of a 3D space (also called a Digital Twin) that can be viewed on a mobile, desktop, tablet, TV or VR headset (such as Oculus or Google Cardboard Viewer). The tour allows the viewer to explore a virtual reality space which represents an immersive and engaging experience vs. still photography.
Virtual tours are used in many industries as a way to present a location to potential buyers, visitors or guests. Popular among real estate professionals, venues, hotels, restaurants and small businesses, virtual tours are a cutting edge way to engage with clients.
What is a Matterport Virtual Tour?
Matterport is a leader in the virtual tour industry. The California based tech company has built a 3D platform which supports high-quality proprietary cameras and uses cutting edge cloud-based software. Matterport is an alternative to other types of software such as EyeSpy360, 3D Vista, Kuula and a number of others in this space. Matterport is particularly popular in the real estate, construction/AEC and hospitality clients but is used across the globe.
How do you make a Matterport Virtual Tour?
Perspective 3D uses the Matterport Pro series cameras to capture high-resolution images of each interior space. The time it takes to scan each building varies and can range from a few hours to over a day depending on the size of the premises. We use our experience using Matterport 3D to document every angle and corner of your space. The data collected is processed within the platform and which can then be represented as Matterport virtual tour or exported to Google Street View or as CAD/Building Information Model (BIM) data to create a 3D model or floor plan.
The virtual tour we create can easily be shared with you and your clients. This can be by embedding the tour into your own website, by providing a link via an email or by sharing the tour details on social media such as Facebook.
