If you want more dynamism than a 3D image but don’t need a full Virtual Reality system or an animation, 360° panoramic images are your choice. From a single viewpoint, you can see everything around you, using the same technology as Google Street View.
We can create a tour with various navigation points, allowing you to move between them, and from each point, look around. In the end, we generate a pseudo-virtual tour—completely free like virtual reality, but with moving images so you can see your project.
Interacting is very simple: hold the left mouse button and move the mouse to change your view and look around. You can zoom in or out using the mouse wheel. Just click on icons within the tour to move to different locations or access information.
One of the greatest advantages of 360° panoramic virtual tours is their compatibility with virtually any device. Smartphones, tablets, desktop computers, laptops, and more. They require minimal system resources and can be streamed efficiently over the internet, loading content progressively. This means you can explore your virtual tour anytime, anywhere, on whatever device you choose.
We can prepare your tour for local viewing on the device itself or online. Content loads progressively, compatible with the latest browsers and operating systems.
Our virtual tours are already compatible with any VR headset, and we can advise you. If you want to enhance the sense of depth, we can provide a 360° panorama for each eye, creating a depth sensation when viewing the virtual tour through a VR headset.
This increases immersion. Navigation becomes more intuitive—simply move your head as in real life to look around. To interact with navigation icons, just point and click with your VR controllers. Easy as that.
The process is very simple. Once the quotation has been approved and you decide to work with us, your project moves to our 3D modeling department. This is where your product, space, or design is built in 3D. Throughout the process, we send you screenshots and videos showing the progress, as well as any questions or elements that may need to be defined in greater detail. Sometimes, moving from 2D documentation to a 3D model reveals questions or details that were not apparent before. This stage allows us to identify and resolve them. Our team also includes professionals from different design disciplines, including architecture and advertising, who have been modeling all kinds of projects since 2004. If needed, they can also suggest solutions and help you resolve any design questions that may arise during the process.
Once the 3D modeling phase is complete, we move on to defining the materials, using references provided by the client to establish color palettes, finishes, and material types. Next, we provide preview renders for each image or viewpoint within the virtual tour. The client receives up to two preview rounds per viewpoint, allowing for adjustments and refinements before the final high-resolution images are delivered. Should additional revisions be required beyond these two rounds—which is rarely the case—we can provide as many extra previews as needed at an additional cost.
Finally, the virtual tour is created using the approved, high-resolution panoramic viewpoints. Navigation paths and interactive connections are configured, and the content is optimized at multiple resolutions to ensure fast loading and smooth, seamless streaming. Once everything is complete, the virtual tour is compiled into an HTML-based experience that can be easily integrated into any website. It is designed to be compatible with all major web browsers and virtually any device, allowing users to explore the project effortlessly, anytime and anywhere.
Virtual Tours are the perfect solution for the web and online environments. Thanks to progressive loading, they require very few resources and can be viewed on a wide range of devices. All of this creates a far more immersive experience than a simple static image, because instead of looking at just one view, users can explore different viewpoints and look around freely within a 360-degree spherical image.
Just like with a 3D image, the virtual tour can incorporate different finishes by rendering various points with different materials, allowing the user to choose between different options at a given point. Additionally, we can add all kinds of contextual information within the virtual tour itself.
At 3VE, we believe in showcasing projects in a different, more engaging way. We take care of every detail, from 3D modeling, materials, lighting, composition, and post-production to the custom programming required to create stunning virtual tours. Our experiences are designed to run seamlessly across all major web browsers and devices, including VR headsets, delivering immersive, interactive experiences wherever your audience may be. Everything your project needs to captivate your audience, make a lasting impression, and bring your vision to life.
