A 3D virtual tour is an interactive and highly immersive experience that uses advanced scanning technology to create a detailed digital model of a physical space. With high-resolution imagery, users can navigate the space as if they were physically present. Integration with Google makes it easy for clients to find and access the tour, ideal for showcasing facilities on websites, social media, or in virtual meetings.
Our 3D virtual tours are designed to work seamlessly on all devices, including phones, tablets, computers, and VR headsets - allowing customers to experience your space in the way that best suits them. 3D tours offer amazing value to your business by showcasing your space in an engaging way. We offer a fully customized, branded, white-labeled solution, which means that your 3D tour will be unique to your business and fully aligned with your branding.
Google Street View integration helps businesses increase their visibility on Google Maps and search results and allows potential customers to explore their space in an immersive way. To integrate a tour with Google Street View, please email our team after your tour is completed. Some of the benefits of Google Street View for your business are:
1. When your customers look for your business on Google, they will also see the 360º imagery that the photographer captured.
2. Your customers can virtually visit your business before visiting in person. Visitors who have already toured your business online are more comfortable when they see it in person, and thus are more likely to purchase your goods or services.
The following types of spaces can be published:
1. Business Listings — retail and restaurants
2. Places of Interest — museums and landmarks
3. Multifamily — apartment complexes
4. Travel and Hospitality — hotels and resorts
5. Vacation & Short Term Rentals — nightly rentals only
6. Commercial Real Estate — office spaces
Please note, Private homes (residential real estate) cannot be published to Google Street View. Nightly rentals are allowed.

Please have the property ready-to-go, clean and clutter-free! Anything visible in the space will be captured in the photo / 3D scan. Therefore, we kindly ask that you remove anything you do not want visible. Items cannot be moved from room to room while the photographer / 3D technician is on site - everything must be moved ahead of time. Your shoot will run faster and more efficiently with no people in the property, so ask that you keep the property empty for the duration of the shoot.
Before our team arrives:
1. Turn on all interior lights
2. Open all blinds & curtains
3. Wipe counters & clean floors
4. Ensure all landscaping is presentable & garbage bins are removed (if we’re shooting the exterior)
The time on-site can vary based on the size and complexity of the space. At minimum a 3D scan will take 1 hour on-site, including set-up time. Generally, for every 1,000 SQ.FT of space, it takes between 10 minutes and 30 minutes, depending on the layout of the space. Please book a consultation with our team for more information.
Your shoot will run faster and more efficiently with no people in the property, so ask that you keep the property empty for the duration of the shoot. If this is not possible, our team can work on a custom solution to be able to scan your property section by section – this requires additional planning and there may be an additional cost – for more information, please book a consultation with our team.
You can share the full tour that we create with a dedicated link that we will provide to you. Even if you have more than one tour we can provide a single link that will allow users to access all your tours. Additionally, you can embed the tour on your website with a custom HTML embed code which we will provide to you.
All 3D virtual tours will be hosted complementary for one year, after which an additional hosting fee will apply for each subsequent year of hosting.
