WHAT IS A 3D VIRTUAL TOUR?
A 3D Virtual Tour creates a vision of the space to scale and brings it to life through digital rendering. A 3D Virtual Tour digital rending gives you a sense of the space and depth and offers 3D navigation as well which makes for a much more immersive experience.

A virtual tour is a normally a video. A 3D Virtual Tour also known as a 3D Virtual Walkthrough is not.

MORE INFORMATION
WHAT WE OFFER
3603D Virtual Tours with Rory Baker Photography offer a full media package to our clients all based off of 3D Virtual Tour renders which includes: Virtual Tour, Hi Res Image Package and creative integrated presentation (video, images, information)
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO SCAN A SPACE?
As a guideline, a normal property of about 100 sqm will take about 1 hour. For a larger property of 300-400 sqm it will take between 2.5 hours to 4.00 hours.
Note: this does not include any staging or preparations.
There are generally two main factors that influence the time:
Firstly, scan time can vary based on the complexity of the project, number of rooms, number of floors, stairwells, compact or spread out, empty vacant spaces or heavily furnished or occupied and so on.
Secondly, determine what the purpose of the scan. For example a simple walk through requires less scan positions than a space where all the architectural details or installations is required.
Once we receive your request we can guide you further on the anticipated duration / time.
WHAT IS AN 'INFORMATION TAG'
Also known as a Mattertag™ is a pin or tag you can add information such as: additional content to add context, pricing, terms, contact details, links to catalogs or any other resource (like spec sheets, technical data, service schedule). Each 3D Virtual Tour done by 3603D Virtual Tours will have a limited number of free Information Tags.
IS THERE A NEED FOR ADDITIONAL OR SPECIAL LIGHTING?
Under normal circumstances no additional or special lighting is required, the Matterport Pro2 camera uses HDR (high dynamic range) to balance the light.
However under abnormal conditions where the light source is not working (such as after a fire or other disaster) it may be necessary to install lights. See an example of this in the 3603D Virtual Tour Gallery under insurance work.
CAN 3D VIRTUAL TOURS BE DONE OUTSIDE?
Yes, a 3D Scan can be done outside as long as it is done early morning (sunrise) or later afternoon (sunset) without direct sunlight.
However a 360º View can be done at anytime outside with the Matterport Pro2. These are not normal depth scans but are 2D panorama images that are edited to produce a 360º view. These 360º views can be incorporated into the 3D Virtual Tour to showcase outside areas.
