360 degree Virtual Tours for Norfolk
I launched a new service late 2021 - 360 degree virtual tours using the Matterport Pro2 camera and Matterport modelling software.These 3D tours are a fantastic way to really give people an idea of the layout and connectivity of a building. The Matterport camera captures super-high resolution image files and then builds it together to produce the virtual tour, Matterport having the unique ability to produce the incredible 'Dollhouse' views where you can see the entire building in miniature and also then go into the building and move through it room by room, looking around as you go.
The Virtual Tours have huge potential for many applications & business types, from hotels & holiday lets to shops, car dealerships, museums, stately homes and much more. They can also be added, at no extra cost, to Google Maps.
I've completed Virtual Tours for some amazing properties in North Norfolk so far including Voewood; Sheringham, Wells & Cromer RNLI Lifeboat stations; Sheringham Museum; Blyth & Wright in Sheringham; Crayford & Abbs Nissan dealership and lots of Norfolk holiday properties.
• VIRTUAL TOURS - The Virtual Tour allows users to navigate through a building at their own pace (example tours to test this out are at the bottom of this post). Navigation can be either through clicking on an area you want to navigate to, or by clicking on the circles on the floor. On a computer an even easier way is to use the arrow keys to move around. Clicking & grabbing on the screen allows you to look around in 360 degrees from any position in the tour. Labels & tags can be added in floorplan view or in the virtual tour view allowing the users to see more information about certain aspects of the building or products.
• DOLLHOUSE VIEW - The iconic Dollhouse View is purely limited to Matterport tours since they have copyrighted the technology, it's a great, holistic way to get an idea of the layout & scale of a building and offers a truly unique way to see a building with the ability to rotate the building to change the view. The Dollhouse view can be accessed using the 3D icon in the bottom left corner of the viewer.
• FLOORPLAN VIEW - The floorplan view gives an overhead view and can be viewed floor by floor. As seen in this example, labels can be added to annotate the floor plans.
• MEASURE TOOL - As well as the virtual tour and dollhouse view the Matterport tours are capable of providing measurements with 99% accuracy. Users can use the tool to measure any areas they wish. It can even be used in the 3D virtual tour mode.
