3-D Virtual Tour Preparations:
- Unlike traditional still photography where the camera is pointed at a subject and the picture is taken, The 3D camera captures images in 360 degree sweeps.
- Multiple 360 degree sweeps are made within the room, moving the camera after each sweep to a new location 5’-8’ away.
- Due to the overlapping photos, this means anything in the room will be shown on the scan and will be present in the 3D walk-through.
- Prior to the Photo Shoot, please be sure to hide any clutter / toys / clean all areas as the room will be presented in 360 degrees.
