3D Virtual Tours: A Revolution in Real Estate

La 3D virtual tour is a revolutionary technology that is transforming the way we perceive and interact with real estate. At 3D Scan Bat, we specialise in creation of 3D virtual tours for buildings, offering an immersive and precise experience for architects, owners, estate agents and other players in the sector.

At 3D Scan Bat, we support estate agents, architects and private owners in digitising their spaces. Our 3D virtual tours not only improve the commercial presentation of a property, but also optimise the design and renovation phases and communication with partners. Thanks to the precision of our scanning tools and their compatibility with the main modelling software, every project benefits from clear, accessible visual documentation. This approach reduces the need to travel, facilitates decision-making and increases the attractiveness of the properties presented.

Methods for Creating Virtual Tours

In the process of creating virtual tours, we offer three main services:

1. Virtual tour with the Matterport System

Our Matterport 3D virtual tour uses state-of-the-art scanners and cameras such as the Matterport Pro 2 and Pro 3 to provide immersive tours. Users can explore the spaces interactively, with detailed snapshots and an interactive map. visual documentation stored securely on the Matterport cloud.

2. Virtual Tour with the ATIS-Cloud System

With Atis-CloudWe offer a solution for viewing and sharing high-definition point clouds. This service enables interactive visualisation and precise surface and volume measurements. Access is facilitated by a simple internet link, making sharing with all stakeholders quick and efficient.

3. Personalised Virtual Tours

For complex spaces or large volumes, we offer personalised virtual tours. These tailor-made solutions include a customisable graphic modelwith flexible hosting options and full documentation for integration and launch.

Matterport 3D Virtual Tour

Matterport is a powerful and intuitive solution for creating immersive virtual tours. With Matterport, we offer :

  • Visual DocumentationDetailed, interactive space captures.
  • Secure hostingMatterport cloud storage for easy, secure access.
  • CustomisationAdapting to the specific needs of each property project.

One of the Matterport's key assets is the ability to combine immersion and technical documentation. At 3D Scan Bat, we take full advantage of these features to create 3D models that can be used on several levels. In addition to the immersive visit, our customers can obtain precise measurements, visualise the relationships between volumes and compare the existing with future projects. In this way, the tool becomes a veritable digital notebook for architects and agencies, reducing misunderstandings and making communication more fluid. Our experience shows that using Matterport improves understanding of the project and boosts end-customer confidence.

Atis-Cloud Virtual Tour

Atis-Cloud is, in our opinion, the best platform for viewing and sharing a point cloud. Here's what we offer:

  • 3D scanningHigh-definition and HDR digitisation of buildings.
  • Interactive VisualisationFluid navigation in the virtual tour, with surface and volume measurements directly integrated.
  • Simplified sharingA simple web link is used to share the visit with all stakeholders.

With Atis-CloudWe go beyond simple visualisation. Our laser surveys generate a high-definition point cloud that can be used directly in software such as Archicad, Revit or AutoCAD. This allows architects and engineers to work on a basis that is faithful to reality, while at the same time providing them with an online visualisation tool. Stakeholders can navigate the model, take measurements and annotate specific areas. This combination of technical rigour and accessibility makes Atis-Cloud an ideal solution for complex projects or those involving a large number of stakeholders.

Personalised Virtual Tour

For large or complex premises, we offer solutions for personalised virtual tour :

  • Customisable graphic templateTemplate adaptable to specific needs.
  • Flexible hostingHosting on our server or the customer's server.
  • Full documentation: Full support for integration and online deployment.

What is a 3D Virtual Tour?

A 3D virtual tour is an immersive digital representation of a physical space, created using 360-degree photographs and 3D rendering of the spaces. The latter is achieved using techniques such as photogrammetry or the lasergrammetryUsing special cameras or 3D laser scanners. Thanks to these technologies, users can navigate a building as if they were actually there, offering an interactive and engaging experience. The 3D virtual tours allow detailed and accurate visualisation of spaces, making them particularly useful for a variety of applications, such as real estate, architecture and property management.

Digitisation and Modelling Techniques

To create 3D virtual toursWe use a number of advanced techniques.

  • Lasergrammetry scanning This method uses 3D laser scanners to capture every detail of an existing building. It guarantees an accurate and exhaustive representation of spaces.
  • Photogrammetry This technique involves assembling multiple photographs to create a faithful and realistic 3D representation of space. It is ideal for reproducing complex details and diverse environments.
  • Mixed techniques This approach combines the digitisation of existing spaces with the projection of future transformations. It is ideal for development and renovation projects.

The advantages of 3D Virtual Tours

The 3D virtual tours offer numerous advantages for the real estate and architecture sectors.

  • Precision and detail They give an exact view of every nook and cranny without the need for physical movement, making it easier to understand the space.
  • Archiving and Evidence They keep precise documentation of the initial state and key stages of construction. This is useful for future reference and verification.
  • Improved communication They facilitate coordination between the various players via a collaborative platform, thereby improving project efficiency.
  • Accessibility They are immediately accessible via a simple internet link, making visits available at any time and from anywhere.

3D Virtual Visualisation and 3D Building Modelling

Our solutions for 3D virtual visualisation and 3D building modelling are not limited to visualisation. They also provide an in-depth understanding of structures. Interactive tools help to explore different aspects of buildings in detail.

What is the difference between a 3D Virtual Tour and a 360° Virtual Tour?

Although the terms 3D virtual tour and 360-degree virtual tour are often used interchangeably, they refer to distinct experiences. A 360-degree virtual tour consists mainly of 360-degree photos linked together. This allows the user to see all around a fixed point, offering a sense of immersion but remaining static in terms of navigation. In contrast, a 3D virtual tour offers a much more immersive and interactive experience. It allows the user to move freely in space, interact with virtual objects and see details at different scales. This option is ideal for more in-depth explorations and presentations of complex projects. It combines visual elements, precise spatial data and sometimes even animations or simulations.

Areas of application for 360° Virtual Tours

Our solutions for 360° virtual house tour are flexible and can be applied in a variety of sectors.

  • Residential property The Internet is used to present flats and houses for sale or rent. This allows potential buyers to visit properties from a distance.
  • Architecture and Design They help you visualise current and future projects. They also make it easier to make decisions and communicate ideas.
  • Property management They simplify maintenance and renovation thanks to a detailed visualisation of spaces.
  • Retail : They can be used to highlight sales areas to attract more customers, increasing engagement and potential sales.
  • Education and Culture : They offer the possibility of creating virtual tours of museums, galleries and historic sites. This broadens access to these institutions.

Integrating virtual visits into the BIM process

Our 3D virtual tours are perfectly integrated into a BIM workflow. By providing compatible and geometrically reliable files, we make it easy to import our data into Archicad, Revit or AutoCAD. This integration makes it possible to superimpose the scanned reality with future projects, check alignments or anticipate technical conflicts. Architects and engineers thus have a common visual and metric basis, reducing errors and improving coordination. For project owners, this means faster decisions and better cost control, thanks to centralised, usable documentation.
