3D Virtual Tour Best Practices
How to get the most out of your 3D virtual tour for marketing and operations.
Planning Your Tour
A successful virtual tour starts with clear objectives. Are you marketing a property? Documenting for insurance? Creating training materials? The goal determines camera placement, feature highlights, and final presentation.
Space Preparation
First impressions matter in virtual tours.
- Deep clean all surfaces
- Stage furniture and décor appropriately
- Remove personal items and clutter
- Ensure consistent lighting throughout
- Make beds, close toilet lids, organize shelves

Optimal Capture
Camera placement affects tour flow and impression. Start at the entry, create logical paths through spaces. Include transition areas and key features. Ensure adequate scan density for smooth navigation.
Enhancing Your Tour
Raw captures become compelling experiences with enhancement.

- Embed video or additional photos
- Brand with logos and colors
