Real Estate (Commercial)

Virtual Tours provide a realistic and immersive experience that allows potential buyers or tenants to visualize a property in a way that traditional 2D photos and floor plans cannot. This can help increase interest and engagement with the property, leading to a quicker and more informed decision.

Potential buyers or tenants can tour a property remotely, at any time of the day which can be especially useful for interstate or international clients who may not be able to visit a property in person.

Matterport's 3D imaging and virtual tours can be embedded on websites and shared on social media, making it easier to market a property and reach a wider audience. Additionally, virtual tours can be used in digital advertising campaigns to further promote the property.

Overall, Matterport is a valuable tool for commercial real estate professionals looking to enhance their marketing efforts, save time and money, and provide potential buyers or tenants with a realistic and immersive experience

With our help, you can capture every detail of your asset, including its layout, dimensions, and unique features. This allows you to showcase your space in a way that simply cannot be matched by traditional photographs or videos.

Virtual Tours allow potential buyers & tenants to experience the feeling of being in a property without having to physically be present, which is ideal for absent owners, or couples where only one party can attend a home-open.

Government & Local Councils

There are several reasons why government and local councils should consider using Matterport:

  1. Enhanced accessibility: Matterport virtual tours allow elderly or disabled persons who may not be able to physically visit a site to experience it in a dynamic and immersive way. This can help to promote inclusivity and ensure that important landmarks and sites are accessible to all members of the community.

  2. Community Engagement: Matterport virtual tours can be used to increase community engagement and participation. For example, local councils can use them to showcase public spaces and facilities that are available for use by community members, such as parks, libraries, and community centres.

  3. Preservation of historical sites: Matterport virtual tours can help to preserve historical sites and landmarks by providing a detailed record of the site at a particular moment in time. This can be particularly important for sites that are at risk of damage or destruction due to natural disasters or human activities.

Government and local councils should consider using this technology to enhance the value of local landmarks and ensure that they remain accessible and relevant to the community.

Travel & Hospitality

In today's world, traveling has become an essential activity for many individuals, be it for leisure or work purposes. Nowadays, before finalising their bookings, most travelers prefer to conduct online research to explore their potential destinations. By featuring Matterport virtual tours on their websites, hotels, resorts, cruise ships, airlines, and other related businesses can cater to the needs of tourists.

Matterport enables people to gain comprehensive knowledge about their travel destination and accommodations, aiding them in making informed decisions. Additionally, it assists businesses in advertising their services and locations, attracting more travellers to explore and venture out into new territories.

Car Sales

Accessibility: People who can’t get to your dealership or are looking at vehicles outside of your opening hours can now get an in-depth view of your vehicles.

Powerful Branding: More and more car buyers now do initial research online. Having Virtual Tours available on your website (or carsales.com.au) helps you stand out from other dealers and draw in customers right from the beginning of their purchasing journey.

Drive your marketing budget further: a Virtual Tour means your vehicles are available to browse at any time and anywhere your customers are.

We recommend: placing QR Codes in the car window linking to your tour, adding tags with all of the vehicles notable features, links to sales/enquiry pages, etc.

Retirement Living & Aged Care

Many empty nesters find lifestyle villages to be an attractive option for downsizing and pursuing their hobbies and interests in a community of like-minded individuals.

Finding the perfect community can be overwhelming and many individuals who require the most care may face transportation barriers that prevent them from visiting facilities. To assist families in finding the best-suited facility for their loved ones, it is important to encourage them to come together and carefully consider their options. Fortunately, a 3D Virtual Tour can provide a sense of visibility and emotional connection, empowering decision makers to feel more confident in their choices

Event Spaces

Event spaces with virtual walkthroughs available on their website or social media pages increase the likelihood of the spaces being viewed and booked.

  1. Enhanced marketing: A Matterport 3D model can be embedded on the event space's website and shared on social media platforms. This can increase exposure and lead to more bookings.

  2. Increased bookings: Matterport allows clients to get a better understanding of the layout of the venue and envision how they can use the space for their event. This can lead to more bookings and higher revenue for the event space.

  3. Time-saving: Rather than scheduling and conducting multiple in-person tours, Matterport can be used to provide a comprehensive virtual tour that can be accessed at any time. This saves time for both the event space and the potential client.

  4. Competitive edge: Matterport is still a relatively new technology in the events industry. By using it, event spaces can set themselves apart from competitors who do not offer this service.
