Preparing for your 3D Virtual Tour

Let’s say you’ve made the mental leap. You are have decided you are going to set up a 3D Virtual Tour but the question now is, “What do I need to do to prepare?” It’s actually a very simple process. Let’s walk through the technical aspects first.

Matterport Cameras

A Matterport camera is a specialized 3D imaging device used to capture real-world spaces and turn them into immersive, interactive virtual tours. It's like a digital scanner for your physical space—whether it's a wedding venue, real estate listing, museum, retail shop, or office.

Simply put, it’s like Google street view but in a building.

No crew is required, just a professional technician uses this camera on a tripod, just one person moving discreetly from spot to spot.

Prep

How would you stage for a standard event? Pretty much just like that. Clean, stage and make sure your venue is as great as you know it can be. For best results make sure your lighting is as good as you can make it be. Ensure the area is clear of foot traffic when scanning is occurring. Cameos in a virtual tour = forever.

Let us know what areas you’d like highlighted (i.e. Bridal suite, rooftop terrace, architectural detail) we’ll make sure they shine.

One and Done

Unlike a photo shoot or video production, there’s no need for different angles. Once canned, the tech takes over, rendering, editing and delivering the final interactive experience. Our tours typically take only a few hours to complete, you won’t need to take a multiple days as if you were doing a video shoot or wait months for the final edit to be completed.
