3D tour technology appeared relatively long ago and managed to gain immense popularity. This is a truly powerful tool in demonstrating various objects and making presentations. This technology is widely used by various types of enterprises, from commercial advertising of manufactured products to medical applications.
The use of 3D tour technology in real estate is especially popular. With its help, not only presentations of houses, with their interior or exterior are created, but also demonstrations of entire cottage settlements are held.
Representation of objects in the form of a 3D model greatly facilitates the process of perception. The ability to rotate, reduce or, on the contrary, enlarge an object allows you to see the house in as much detail as possible from different angles.
In addition, you can view the layout of the house, the design of the rooms and many other details that are of interest to you. Separately, it is worth noting the navigation capabilities: thanks to them, moving between scenes and objects is as easy and smooth as possible.
In addition to all of the above, it is also necessary to mention the ease of perception of the 3D model. A beautiful and bright image of a house looks much more attractive than a demonstration of a drawing made on paper. Especially considering that it is rather problematic to understand a professional drawing without any special knowledge.
Extensive 3D modeling capabilities allow you to accompany the tour with various special effects, animation and sound in order to view the tour using virtual and augmented reality. In other words, summarizing all of the above, thanks to this technology, the customer, long before the completion of construction, can take a tour of his future home, get acquainted with all the details and see everything he needs.
The use of 3D modeling in real estate is becoming more and more widespread every year, especially since a high-quality and well-designed 3D tour increases the implementation of constructed buildings by several times.

How can I use 3D virtual tours?
There are three ways to use virtual 3D tours – you can post them on websites, apps, and Facebook.
In a website
The client can upload a 3D virtual tour on his website as:
– an additional page;
– a part of the current page with the #iframe tag.
In mobile apps
There are plenty of apps that support 360 panoramas. Using your smartphone or tablet, you can upload one or more panoramic 3D renders to show how the rooms would look in real life. Applications use the device’s accelerometer, so the view changes accordingly when you move or tilt the device. Some of the most popular apps are Vieweet 360 and P360, available for iOS and Android.
Usage of 3D virtual tours in Facebook posts, groups, or promotional posts
You can add a 3D panoramic image to your Facebook post so your followers can view the 360-degree panorama right on your wine.
What are the benefits of 3D home tours?
Virtual computer tours show future homes in photorealistic quality. Placed on websites, they present properties 24/7 and attract more potential customers to listings. In addition, 3D tours are interactive. They allow people to view every aspect of the space for as long as they want and return to them as many times.
Are your 3D tours compatible with VR?
There is a large selection of virtual reality glasses on the market; for some of them, for example, Oculus Rift, their version of a virtual tour is created in programs like Unreal Engine. This page presents the most popular types of 3D virtual tours; they can be easily freely viewed in Google Cardboard glasses or similar inexpensive models. If you need a special tour compatible with your glasses model, let us know, and we will provide you with a solution as soon as possible.
What materials do I need to provide to get a 3D house tour?
To create a virtual tour for you, 3D artists need floor plans, facades, furniture arrangements, lighting schemes, a selection of furniture and finishing materials, and background images. In addition, in each tour, there are hotspots – indicators that help viewers navigate in virtual rooms. So, in your project brief, you should specify how many hotspots you want on your tour and where you want to place them.
How much does a virtual 3D tour cost?
The cost of a virtual tour depends on the specifics of a particular project. For an accurate estimate, please contact us via contact form or WhatsApp.
