Matterport 3D Tours
Presenting a hyper-realistic digital twin of your business or event space, allowing customers the freedom to explore from anywhere, at any time.
What is a Matterport 3D Tour?
A Matterport 3D Tour is a fully immersive and interactive virtual walkthrough of a real-world space. Created using our specialised Matterport Pro3 3D LiDAR camera system, the result is a high-resolution “digital twin” that lets users explore your business as if they were physically there.
A fully detailed and dimensionally accurate 3D model allows smooth and seamless navigation around your space, as well as a comprehensive floor plan view. A new feature in Matterport also enables the removal of furniture, allowing you to observe spaces on their own.
Additionally, we can build Virtual Tour Hotspots into your Matterport 3D Tour, presenting pop-up information with embedded features such as detailed descriptions, images, videos, and links to products or booking pages.
At Vega 360, we handle the whole process. We’ll help plan, shoot, produce and launch a 3D tour of your business, making it virtually unforgettable.
Why get a Matterport 3D Tour for your business?
In today’s digital-first world, how your space appears online can be the difference between a customer browsing or clicking to buy.

3D virtual tours are ideal for hospitality venues, tourist attractions, educational spaces, healthcare services, and more. Any business that seeks to provide its audience with an open door, even when you’re closed!

Covering all the Q&A angles of Matterport
Here are the most frequently asked questions customers ask us when planning a Matterport tour of their business.

The time it takes to complete a Matterport virtual tour depends on the size and layout of your space, but most scans take between a couple of hours to a day.
A small shop or apartment, for example, can often be scanned in under an hour, while a larger venue such as a hotel or office building may require several hours or a full day.
After scanning, we process the data, add any branding or interactive features you’ve requested (such as hotspots or navigation menus), and deliver your completed tour within two to five working days. If you’re working to a tight deadline, we’ll always do our best to hit it.
At Vega 360, we make the process quick and seamless, so you can get your virtual tour online and working for your business as soon as possible.

The cost of a Matterport 3D tour is based on a few key factors, including the size and complexity of your space, the density or number of scan points required, and any optional features you’d like to include, such as custom branding, interactive hotspots, or add-on photography and video.
As a general guide, prices start at £300 + VAT, which will accommodate a 3d virtual tour for a space of approximately 16m2, capturing nine interior panoramic photos and one shot outside.

Matterport tours are hosted in the cloud via Matterport’s secure platform.
At Vega 360, we include one year of hosting with every tour as standard. This means you don’t need to set up your own subscription, and we can continue to host your for a small annual fee after the first year. We’ll always remind you before renewal so there are no surprises!
If you’d prefer to set up your own Matterport account, or already have one, we’re happy to transfer your tour files once they have been fully produced. Otherwise, we’ll handle everything on your behalf, including any updates or content tweaks.

Yes! Matterport 3D tours are fully responsive and designed to work beautifully across all devices, including smartphones and tablets. There’s also no special or standalone app required; Matterport 3D virtual tours play directly in a browser. So, whether your customers are browsing on a desktop, iPhone or Android, they’ll be able to explore your space.
You can also add interactive features like touch-enabled virtual tour hotspots, menus, and links that work just as well on mobile as they do on desktop.

Absolutely. Every active Matterport tour comes with a shareable link and an embed code, which you can place directly into your website, landing page, blog post, or even within online property listings.
We’ll provide everything you need, with copy/paste ready code and a guide on how to embed your tour, whether it is built with WordPress, CraftCMS, Wix, Squarespace, or another popular platform.
Embedding your virtual tour is a great way to increase engagement and boost the time customers spend on your site, keeping them interacting with your content.

Both Matterport 3D tours and Google Maps Virtual Tours offer immersive ways to explore spaces online but offer slightly different features.
A Google Street View tour is published directly to your Google Business Profile and appears within Google Maps. It’s designed to increase local visibility and help customers find and explore your space when searching on Google. It’s especially useful for small businesses, hospitality venues, or high-street locations looking to improve their local SEO.
A Matterport tour, on the other hand, offers a more advanced experience. It creates a “digital twin” of your space, with smooth navigation, 3D dollhouse views, interactive hotspots, guided walkthroughs, and even floor plans. It’s ideal for businesses that want a fully branded, customisable, and engaging presentation of their space, whether for marketing, sales, training, or virtual viewings.
At Vega 360, we deliver both services and can even create a Google Street View Tour with selected stills repurposed for your Matterport tour, giving you the best of both worlds!

Matterport 3D tours are proven to increase engagement, time on site, and even conversions.
According to Matterport’s own research, property listings with 3D tours get up to 300% more engagement than those without. Users spend more time exploring spaces, are more likely to return, and report higher confidence in their decision-making after viewing an immersive tour.
For businesses in sectors like real estate, retail, hospitality, and education, a Matterport 3D tour can help turn curiosity into action, whether that’s a booking, a purchase, or an enquiry.
