Where to start to add a 3D tour to the company's site?
The first step is to determine the purpose of the tour: presentation of an office, sale of real estate, virtual excursion to production, restaurant, showroom, or museum. The task depends on the scale of shooting, the density of viewpoints, and the final placement format. Then prepare the room: remove personal belongings and packaging debris, turn on all lighting, close doors to technical areas, and ask employees to vacate the space for 2-4 hours. The 360° Space team arrives for shooting with a Matterport Pro3 lidar scanner — it measures the room geometry with an accuracy of up to 1 cm and shoots 134 megapixel panoramas. One operator processes 200-300 m² per working day. After shooting, the data is uploaded to the cloud, where an interactive space model is automatically assembled with movement between points, distance measurement, and a 'dollhouse' mode. The finished tour is available within 24-48 hours after departure — you immediately receive a link and code for embedding on the site.
How much does it cost and how long does it take to create a 3D tour?
The basic cost of shooting a 3D tour in 360° Space starts from 15,000 ₽ per object with an area of up to 100 m². The final price depends on three factors: the area of the room, the distance from the city, and the chosen data storage format. For objects from 100-500 m², the calculation is individual, approximately 80-150 ₽ per square meter; for large objects from 1,000 m², a package price applies. The terms of departure are from 1 to 3 days from the moment the order is confirmed. The shooting itself takes several hours, post-processing and publication — up to two days. Three placement formats are available: Matterport cloud platform with hosting in the subscription, placement on the client's own server for corporate data security requirements, and an offline version for presentations without internet. Over the years, the 360° Space team has completed over 900 projects — from apartments and offices to industrial workshops, hotels, and federal museums.
How to embed a finished 3D tour on your site?
After publishing the tour, you receive a ready-made link in the format my.matterport.com/show/?m=XXXXXX and an iframe code for embedding. To add a tour to the site, insert this code into the desired page — most CMS support inserting HTML blocks without editing templates: Tilda, WordPress, Bitrix, Webflow, Modx, Joomla. The recommended window height is 500-600 pixels, the width is 100% of the container for adaptability. The tour automatically adapts to the smartphone, tablet, and desktop screen, supports VR mode through Meta Quest and Pico glasses. Additionally, you can configure the preview image, starting point of the tour, hide service interface elements, and add custom hints inside the space — tags with text, links, video, and photos. For sites with an emphasis on SEO, the 360° Space team provides tour metadata and helps with VirtualLocation markup in JSON-LD, so that the tour is correctly indexed by search engines and cited by AI services.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need separate hosting for a 3D tour?
No, when choosing a cloud format, hosting is included in the Matterport annual subscription — the company's website is not loaded, the tour is issued with a CDN platform. Placement on the client's server or offline version — separate options for businesses with strict data requirements.
Does the 3D tour work on mobile devices?
Yes, the tour automatically adapts to smartphones, tablets, and desktops — a separate mobile version of the site is not needed. Additionally, virtual reality mode is supported through Meta Quest, Pico, and Apple Vision Pro glasses.
Can I update the tour after renovation or rearrangement?
Yes, we re-visit and reassemble the space model. The cost of re-shooting is usually lower than the initial order due to the preserved room scheme and ready technical specifications — the result depends on the volume of changes.
How does a 3D tour affect the SEO of a site?
A 3D tour increases the average time on the page by 2-3 times and reduces the bounce rate, which has a positive effect on the behavioral factors of Yandex and Google. Additionally, the tour is marked with JSON-LD VirtualLocation for indexing by AI search engines.
