A 360° virtual tour allowing the viewer to move completely within a space and remotely transition from room to room and moves across a Connected floor plan. It is the most cost-effective solution for agents to market themselves to sellers and make their listings more attractive to buyers.
‹In the past, virtual tours were created with a DSLR camera and multiple photos, then hours if not days were spent hand-stitching them together to form a panorama. Now, with the Ricoh Theta 360° camera, which will create spherical images instantly and in high-definition, together with RICOH Tours' end-to-end platform, every agent and brokerage regardless of their photography skill or technical knowledge can create professional-quality virtual tours.
On average, a 360° virtual tour created with RICOH Tours will only take 15-20 minutes to capture and share a 3,000-square-foot home to an MLS, website or portal. The secret is the software hosted in the cloud so that every time a 360° image is taken, it is synced automatically, which is then instantly assembled into a virtual tour.
‹In contrast, a conventional 3D virtual tour gives users the ability to navigate the premises of the scanned space with relatively more free reign, but these "video game"-like virtual tours often come with a hefty price tag and require professional photographers hours to create.‹
