Flat, two-dimensional photos and drawings can only give you a certain perspective of a residence or commercial building. Video helps give you the feeling of walking through a home for sale or a new structure, but it also has its limitations. Other than actually being there and experiencing the building or space in real life, there is one way to give visitors a true, three-dimensional experience of any piece of real estate.
What is Matterport?
Matterport is new technology that allows anyone, from anywhere, to tour a property. Using three-dimensional cameras, trained designers scan each room or area of a property that’s to be listed. The scans and measurements are compiled to create a virtual reality experience that’s almost like walking through a home.
From a personal computer or mobile device, a person interested in the property can view the location from several perspectives and can turn to get a 3D experience from any angle. Matterport allows a potential buyer to see the space without actually being present.
How is Matterport Used?
It’s easy to see how Matterport can help real estate agents sell a residential or business property. Buyers can move virtually through any building or landscape and determine if that property warrants further inspection. It’s a huge help when renting or selling to out-of-towners who hope to find living accommodations quickly. A 3D Tour created with Matterport can help any listing stand out and attract more attention, leading to a quicker sale.
But there are other applications for the technology, including:
Architecture and construction firms.
Scan a site to give clients and other stakeholders a quick walk-through without having to enter a construction area. Compare past tours to a current walk-through to see the progress made on any building project.Hotels.
Let tourists get a good feel for any hospitality venue before they book a room. You can also show amenities and rentable spaces like conference rooms.Event venues. If your venue hosts weddings, parties and other big events, you can create a walk-through of the space so people outside the local area can determine if the space meets their needs.
Uses for Matterport are only limited by your imagination. How about creating a museum tour, a walk-through of a retail space or a view of a popular local restaurant so viewers can choose a table to reserve? Any place that people off site may wish to see or experience can be a great possibility for a 3D tour.
What are the Benefits of Matterport?
Matterport technology delivers such high quality that it really stands apart from other attempts at tours for real estate, event venues and other areas. You can easily scan up to 10,000 square feet in each project with a high-quality rendering. The delivery is smooth and can be easily viewed from an Internet-connected personal computer or mobile device without hiccups or pauses.
The accuracy of the scans that Matterport produces are so exact that you can produce usable schematic floor plans using the measurements. Clients won’t be surprised by anything they see, even after they view the property in person.
Customers will delight in the presentation and think more highly of you for making their lives easier. No more running all over the city or county to see a handful of houses for sale or venues to rent. Instead, potential buyers or renters can view listings from the comfort of their own homes or from your office. Plus, you can broaden your potential buyer pool to a larger area since you’re no longer limited to attracting customers or clients from a small local area.
Let’s not forget the added branding that this fun technology gives you. If you’re using Matterport to make 3D tours, you set yourself apart from the competition and make potential customers see you as the expert in your field.
Matterport is the Best Tool for 3D Tours
It’s true that there are other 3D tour creation tools on the market. Matterport is a better option for most applications because you can take as many scans as you need, add in more data and create a smaller and easier-to-use file that downloads more smoothly.
