Virtual Tours

Virtual tours make spaces experienceable before they are built or open to the public. Visitors move through interiors on their own, understand proportions and sightlines and gain a credible feel for the rooms and their atmosphere.

We develop interactive 360° experiences based on plans, 3D models and existing visualizations. Format, navigation and level of detail are matched to the project, the audience and the channel – from the website to the consultation in the showroom.

Appenzeller Huus, Gonten

For numerous apartments we developed virtual tours that convey floor plans, spatial impact and materiality true to life. In addition we integrated real 360° views, so that the location and the view of the Säntis are not merely described but directly experienced.

Formats at a glance

Several photorealistic 360° views are linked into one tour. Visitors switch between defined viewpoints and explore rooms, sightlines and fit-out details in every direction.

With our Freepano variant based on Biganto, visitors move freely and fluidly through the digital space instead of only switching between fixed viewpoints. The tour opens directly in the browser on computer, tablet and smartphone.

Different materials, colors or furnishings can be compared within one shared virtual environment. This supports consulting, sales and the choice of a suitable fit-out standard.

Interactive info points can make additional texts, images, videos or links accessible. Navigation and content are tailored to the project and its audience.

Real panorama or drone footage can be integrated into the digital environment. This makes the view, the location and the spatial context experienceable as actual qualities of the project.

South Wing, Zurich Main Station

The virtual tour conveys how historic building fabric and a modern working environment come together. Visitors can explore representative office space and experience details that single images can only partly communicate.

Denzler House

For this listed building we reconstructed the historic interiors from photographs and combined them with a detailed digital image world. The tour makes wall panelling, stucco ceilings and the reconstructed tiled stove spatially tangible.

Common questions about
virtual tours

Here you will find answers about process, source material, technology and cost. We define the right scope together for your project and its audience.

First we clarify which rooms are to be shown, how visitors navigate and where the tour will be used. We then prepare the 3D model and the visual basis, design materials, light and furnishing and produce a first interactive preview. After feedback and corrections we optimize the tour for the intended devices and channels.

In a classic 360° tour, visitors switch between selected viewpoints. In a Freepano they move freely and fluidly through the digital environment. Which variant makes sense depends on the project, the desired image quality, the scope and the intended use.

Helpful are current floor plans, sections and elevations as well as existing CAD or 3D data. Added to that is information on materials, fit-out, furnishing, audiences and intended use. If no suitable 3D model exists yet, we can build it from the plans.

Our tours open in a current web browser on computer, tablet and smartphone. They can be shared as a link or embedded directly into a project website. For demanding Freepano tours we take the intended devices into account during concept and optimization.

Yes. Depending on the solution, materials, colors, furnishings or fit-out standards can be made comparable. Info points with texts, images, videos or further links are also possible. Such features are most efficient to implement when they are planned in from the start.

That depends on the scope, the available source data, the number of rooms and viewpoints as well as the desired interactions and correction loops. After a short briefing we can reliably estimate the effort and a realistic deadline.

The cost depends on the modelling effort, the number and size of the rooms, the desired image quality and any additional features. As soon as we know the source material and the intended use, we prepare a transparent quote for the right scope.
