360 Virtual Tours Services
What Are Architectural 360 Virtual Tours?
Architectural 360 Virtual Tours are immersive 3D experiences that allow users to explore architectural spaces from multiple angles and viewpoints. Unlike traditional static images or video walkthroughs, these tours provide a fully interactive experience, where users can navigate through exteriors and interiors at their own pace. They can zoom in on details, rotate around objects, and explore every nook and cranny of a space, offering a complete and lifelike view of architectural projects.
At 3D Corner, we specialize in creating 360-degree architectural virtual tours that deliver a true sense of presence and immersion. Whether you’re showcasing a real estate development, commercial building, or residential property, our tours give users the ability to explore properties in photorealistic detail—perfect for presentations, sales, and marketing.
Benefits of Architectural 360 Virtual Tours
- Immersive and Interactive Experience
Unlike static renderings or pre-recorded videos, 360 virtual tours allow users to fully explore a space on their own terms. This means they can zoom in on details, view different angles, and experience the project as if they were physically walking through the environment. - Improved Client Communication
360-degree tours are an effective way to communicate design intent to clients, investors, and stakeholders. By offering a virtual walk-through of a property, clients can visualize how the space will look and feel in real life, leading to more informed decisions and higher client satisfaction. - Cost-Effective Sales and Marketing Tool
For real estate agents and developers, virtual tours are a cost-effective way to showcase properties to potential buyers from anywhere in the world. By providing a detailed and engaging tour, they can boost sales, attract interest, and stand out in a competitive market. - Enhanced Design Presentations
Architects and designers can use 360 virtual tours to showcase their work in a way that static images simply cannot. By offering a comprehensive, lifelike presentation, these tours allow designers to highlight architectural features and create a stronger connection between the viewer and the project. - Adaptability for Exteriors and Interiors
Whether you’re showcasing the exterior landscape of a complex or the interior design of a luxury villa, 360 virtual tours offer flexibility. They are equally effective for showcasing parks, infrastructure, and outdoor spaces or residential interiors, including every room, hallway, and architectural detail.
Types of Architectural 360 Virtual Tours
At 3D Corner, we offer two main types of 360 virtual tours:
- Panoramic 360 Virtual Tours
Panoramic tours are created using multiple panoramic camera viewpoints within the project. Users can move between these predefined observation points, providing an interactive yet guided experience. This type of tour allows users to zoom in on key details and rotate the view, but movement is restricted to specific camera locations. This approach is highly photorealistic and is often used for interior walkthroughs, where design details and material textures need to be highlighted. - Virtual Reality (VR) Tours
VR tours are created using engines like Unreal Engine or Unity, offering users complete freedom to walk through the scene in real-time. In these tours, viewers can move around the space without restrictions and experience it from any angle. However, VR tours tend to have a lower level of photorealism compared to panoramic tours, often resembling high-quality video game graphics. VR tours are perfect for projects where user interaction and navigation flexibility are more important than ultra-realistic visuals.
Workflow for 360 Virtual Tour Development
The process of creating 360 virtual tours at 3D Corner involves several steps to ensure we capture every architectural detail in a lifelike and immersive way.
Workflow for Panoramic 360 Virtual Tours:
- Building the Scene
We create the 3D model of the space, whether it’s an interior or exterior. This includes working on the architecture, landscape, and other elements of the project. - Lighting and Atmosphere Setup
Lighting plays a critical role in creating the right mood. We meticulously adjust the natural and artificial lighting in the scene to ensure a realistic environment, while also creating shadows, reflections, and views from windows. - Setting Camera Viewpoints
We position panoramic camera points throughout the space, giving users different perspectives as they navigate through the tour. These points are strategically placed to highlight key architectural features and details. - Revisions and Adjustments
After creating the initial 3D model and setting the cameras, we work closely with the client to refine the design details, making sure everything looks perfect. - Final Rendering
We render the photorealistic previews, ensuring all materials, lighting, and textures are accurate. After client approval, we finalize the virtual tour, delivering a seamless, immersive experience.
Workflow for VR Tours:
- Scene Assembly in Game Engine
Using engines like Unreal Engine or Unity, we create the virtual environment for the tour. This step involves building the space, adding textures, and ensuring real-time interaction capabilities. - Lighting and Rendering
Lighting is set up to match real-world conditions, ensuring that the virtual space feels natural and immersive. While VR tours may not achieve photorealistic quality, they are optimized for real-time interaction. - Programming User Interaction
We program user navigation, allowing free movement within the scene. Users can explore the space independently, turning the camera in any direction and moving throughout the environment as they wish. - Final Review and Delivery
After incorporating any necessary revisions, we deliver the completed VR tour, ready for presentations, marketing, or client use.
Pricing for 360 Virtual Tour Services
The cost of developing 360 virtual tours depends on several factors, including:
- Number of Camera Viewpoints: In panoramic tours, more viewpoints provide a more detailed and immersive experience but increase production time.
- Project Size and Complexity: Larger projects with more detailed environments, such as multi-building complexes or large interiors, require more resources to complete.
- Level of Detail: Photorealistic textures, complex lighting, and detailed architectural features can affect pricing, particularly for panoramic tours.
- Revisions and Customization: Additional revisions or specific requests for customization may also impact the final cost.
Typically, the turnaround time for 360 virtual tours ranges from 4 to 8 weeks, depending on the project’s scale and complexity.
