What is a 3D Virtual Tour?

A 3D virtual tour is an interactive, digital walkthrough of a real-world space. Using advanced Matterport scanning technology, we create photorealistic virtual experiences that allow users to explore a property online as if they were there in person. These tours are ideal for real estate listings, commercial spaces, and architectural documentation, helping you showcase interiors with clarity and confidence.

How does 3D laser scanning work?

3D laser scanning captures accurate spatial data and measurements of a property using LiDAR or structured light sensors. We use Matterport Pro3 and similar advanced scanning equipment to create detailed point clouds and 3D models. This technology is perfect for producing as-built documentation, digital twins, and architectural floor plans, all with millimetre precision.

What is Matterport and why is it used for virtual tours?

Matterport is a leading 3D imaging platform used to create immersive, high-resolution virtual tours. It combines 3D laser scanning with panoramic photography to deliver a seamless digital experience. Matterport tours are widely used in real estate, construction, retail, and property management to improve marketing, documentation, and remote collaboration.

How long does a 3D virtual tour scan take?

On average, scanning a property takes about 1 hour per 1,000 square feet. Larger or more complex spaces—like commercial buildings or multi-level properties—may require additional time for complete capture and setup.
 

What are Mattertags and how do they work?

Mattertags are interactive information points embedded directly into the 3D tour. You can use them to highlight features, add descriptions, link to product pages, or embed videos, images, and audio. Mattertags are ideal for real estate marketing, facility documentation, and showroom-style experiences.

How much does a 3D virtual tour cost?

Pricing for 3D virtual tours depends on square footage, location, and any add-ons like floor plans, Mattertags, or custom branding. We offer competitive packages for residential, commercial, and industrial properties in Toronto and across the GTA. Contact us for a custom quote or view our service catalog.

How quickly will I receive my virtual tour?

Most standard virtual tours are delivered within 24 to 36 hours after scanning. If you’ve requested additional services—such as schematic floor plans, Mattertags, or custom integrations—please allow for additional processing time.

Can I use a 3D virtual tour on my MLS listing or website?

Yes. We provide a shareable link and embed code so you can easily add your 3D virtual tour to MLS listings, Realtor.ca, LoopNet, CoStar, or your own website. Our tours are compatible with most real estate platforms and can even be integrated with custom landing pages or email marketing.

Do virtual tours help sell or lease properties faster?

Yes—properties with virtual tours tend to generate more views, faster decision-making, and fewer wasted showings. For realtors, landlords, and property managers, 3D tours increase transparency and save time by letting prospective buyers or tenants tour the space online before booking an in-person visit.

Do you offer 3D scanning for commercial properties too?

Absolutely. We provide 3D scanning services for office buildings, retail locations, hotels, industrial spaces, and more. Our virtual tours and scans are commonly used by architects, designers, engineers, and facility managers to document spaces, support renovation planning, and streamline leasing or sales processes.

What technology do you use for scanning and virtual tours?

We use the latest Matterport Pro3 cameras, Leica LiDAR scanners, and 360° imaging tools to ensure high accuracy, image quality, and data compatibility. Our scans are delivered in multiple formats, including Matterport Tours, OBJ files, point clouds, and Revit-ready models, depending on your project needs.
