The two most common reasons we’ll produce a virtual tour for architects or engineers are 1) the architects, engineers and project management team are based in different locations. A virtual tour allows all members of a team to look around quickly and easily via an online meeting. 2) the virtual tours can produce useful extra files such as CAD, Point Cloud, BIM, Revit, etc. This is often much cheaper and faster and the traditional way of producing these files
- Healthcare: Creating virtual walkthroughs of medical facilities to familiarize patients with the environment.
