Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the data size of a virtual tour?
Depending on scope, tours range from 50MB to 500MB+. Most load quickly on standard connections. 360 View optimises file sizes to balance quality with fast loading.
How does a virtual tour differentiate my business?
Most competitors don’t have immersive tours yet. Offering virtual exploration gives you a competitive edge, making your business stand out in online search and listings.
Why do hotels and hospitality venues need virtual tours?
Virtual tours help guests visualise their stay before booking, reducing cancellations and building confidence. Hotels with immersive tours receive more bookings and better reviews. It’s especially valuable for showcasing rooms, facilities, and unique spaces.
What’s the point cloud density in scanning projects?
360 View captures high-density point clouds (millions of data points) ensuring precise spatial representation. Density varies by project needs—higher density for detailed renovation planning, standard density for general reference.
How do outdoor Google Street View and Google Photos differ?
Outdoor Street View creates a fully navigable walkthrough of your property’s exterior and street frontage. Google Photos are static images. Street View lets customers explore and move through your space, which drives more engagement and inquiries.
