Quick Read
Matterport 3D tours combine 360° photos with interior 3D models for an incredibly realistic virtual experience. The system offers:
- Interactive 3D dollhouse view for intuitive navigation
- 134-megapixel panoramic images with +300% zoom capability
- Precise measurements within 1% accuracy
- Comprehensive base features including VR compatibility
- Fast processing with delivery within 24-48 hours
You've likely seen and tried them before - the distinctive 3D tours by US company Matterport with their unique interactive 3D dollhouse view.
These tours uniquely combine high-resolution 360° photos with a 3D model of the interior, allowing free movement between numerous viewpoints.
The result is an incredibly realistic "as if you were there" experience.
Example 3D tour scan recorded with the Matterport Pro1 camera without additional add-ons (32 megapixel panoramas)
A System with Many Advantages
The Matterport 3D tour stands out with its unique 3D view, navigation, and ability to take precise measurements (within 1% accuracy) from any point. This is invaluable for those needing both photorealistic documentation and basic measurements.
Additional benefits include crystal-clear 134-megapixel panoramas at each position, enabling in-tour zooms up to +300% and high-resolution snapshots from any angle.
Shop owners and hospitality businesses can cost-effectively integrate tours into Google Street View, improving SEO rankings.
The highly automated system accelerates capture and processing. Depending on room layout, 100 to several hundred square meters can be captured hourly. After uploading to Matterport Cloud, tours typically render within 24 hours.
Limitations to Consider
The system has some drawbacks. Content is tied to Matterport's cloud and can't be transferred to private servers. While individual components (Matterpak with 3D model, panoramas, etc.) can be downloaded, the player software isn't freely available.
Images can't be edited beyond a blur marker (for faces and security equipment) - no retouching or Photoshop modifications are possible.
Users are bound to Matterport Cloud's relatively expensive hosting fees, even for large customers.

More Pros than Cons
Matterport excels for temporary content and spaces (exhibitions, trade shows, construction documentation).
It's ideal when speed and initial cost-effectiveness matter, and EU-external cloud hosting isn't an issue.
Recommended when you need:
- Quick spatial understanding via 3D dollhouse
- Measurements or 3D data (in-tour, PDF floor plans, XYZ, E57, BIM files)
- High-resolution snapshots for marketing
- Fast delivery (24-48 hours) at competitive rates
- Neutral, long-term hosting for property documentation
- Standardized, scalable solution nationally and internationally
