Virtual tour and VR
360° virtual tours of buildings, facilities and construction sites, measurable panoramas and BIM model presentations in virtual reality.
A virtual tour is an interactive presentation of a property made from 360° panoramic images: users move from room to room in a browser or on a mobile device, look around and zoom in where needed. When panoramas are captured with a laser scanner and linked to the point cloud, distances, heights and areas can be measured directly in the tour.
The service is used to document progress on construction sites, record concealed services before walls are closed, carry out remote handover inspections, inventory equipment at industrial plants, and present real estate, hotels and museums.
VR (virtual reality) makes it possible to show a building that has not yet been built: the BIM model is presented at full scale in a VR headset, and clients and investors can walk inside and evaluate layout and design decisions before construction. By combining a scan of an existing building with a new design, the outcome of a refurbishment can also be visualised.
Panoramas are captured with high-resolution cameras and laser scanners, georeferenced and delivered with floor-plan navigation. With periodic captures, images from different dates can be compared side by side.
