Nordic Spa Virtual Tour Ideas

What types of Virtual Tours are possible?

(Scroll Down for Virtual Tour Examples)

360 Photo Virtual Tours:

Use 360° Photos to create a user operated virtual tour.

• Matterport is a popular option for 360 photo virtual tours

  • Pros:

    • Higher image quality due to 134MP Matterport camera

    • Is a smoother navigation experience

    • Uses LiDAR to create a 3D space

    • Has 3D doll house view

    • Can perform accurate measurements from the tour

  • Cons:

    • Requires Matterport camera (rental included in price)

    • Requires multiple scans per room (scan req’d every 6 feet).

    • More expensive option than Kuula

• Kuula.co is another popular option for 360 photo virtual tours

  • Pros:

    • Requires fewer photos than Matterport (could be as few as 1 per room)

    • Easy to share on social platforms

    • Less expensive virtual tour option as compared to Matterport

  • Cons:

    • Decent image quality, but not to the level of Matterports 134MB photo resolution

    • Not as smooth a navigation experience

      Note: All “The Elements” examples included below were created using Kuula.co

Video Walk-thru Tours:

Uses a gimbal stabilized camera and/or drone to capture smooth, steady video footage that is edited into a final video.

• Pros:

  • No action required by user to view

  • Short Walk-thru videos are good option for social media sharing

• Cons:

  • User can only see where the camera is pointing (no 360 view)

  • Pace of video may be too fast for some users

The case for using both Photo and Video Virtual Tours:

• 360 Photo Tours are great for allowing new guests to explore the complex

• Video Walk-thru’s are great for sharing on social media

• A 360 Photo Tour can also link to any video such as a Video Walk-thru

• Aerial Photos can be added to 360 Photo Tours which can contain links to specific locations within the complex (see The Elements example below)
