Property Virtual Tour Services
Matterport Virtual Tours are a fantastic way of exploring buildings and environments from the comfort of your computer, tablet, smartphone — or even Virtual-Reality (VR) headset!
By capturing both still photographs and depth information looking in 360 degrees around each camera location, stitching the imagery together and then adding interactive elements, Matterport Virtual Tours give the viewer a much more immersive experience than photographs or videos ever could.
Are you looking to give your customers an immersive and interactive experience and a unique new way to explore your attraction / property?
Maybe you are trying to differentiate yourself from other property marketing companies by making your property viewing experience far more engaging and interactive?
Perhaps you are keen to add virtual tour tablets to the ground floor of your attraction to allow disabled visitors to explore other floors of your attraction if they are not easily accessible?
Or do some of your clients struggle to view your properties as they live too far away, and you’re keen to let them explore your properties remotely using an interactive virtual tour first?
Unlike most traditional virtual tours, the Matterport system provides two unique ways of viewing a virtual tour, the 3D “Doll’s House” and “Walk-Through” views, as explained below:
The 3D "Doll's House" View

This unique viewpoint allows an entire property or site to be viewed as a 3D model with its roof and walls removed — literally as if you’d partly dismantled an actual doll’s house! This model can be rotated, tilted, zoomed into, and then once you’re ready to start exploring, simply click on a room in the property and you’ll be dropped inside!
The "Walk-Through" View

The more traditional walk-through virtual tour is made more fluid and realistic by combining 3-Dimensional depth information about each room (the data which produces the overall “Doll’s House” model) with ultra high-resolution photographic imagery which allows you to look in almost every direction as you move around the property.

All photographic imagery is blended from multiple exposures (a technique called High Dynamic Range imaging) which retains detail in both very bright and very dark areas, guaranteeing a more natural look and feel to the panoramas.

Tours can be viewed offline on tablets or smartphones which do not have an internet connection (eg. interactive exhibits in a museum or historic house).
