Are you looking for a creative way to market your business? Due to COVID-19 restrictions in today’s climate, customers may feel unsafe visiting a new business or want to know what precautions are taken to keep them safe. Taking a 3D tour of a business can make a customer feel more familiar. During a 3D tour, the business owner can explain what efforts are being made to keep customers safe by using informational tags. Plus, a 3D virtual tour is a great way to showcase your business!

Scan Your Business with the Matterport App

Using the Matterport data collection app on either an iPhone or iPad creates your virtual 3D tour. You can pair the app to your iPhone to take photos or to a Matterport tripod scanning device or even a Leica BLK360 laser scanner.
