Digital Preservation
A 3D digital twin creates a precise, time-stamped digital record of a cultural site or exhibition. This is a practical asset for conservation planning, restoration work, and academic research, ensuring that heritage is documented and safeguarded for the future.
- Permanent Digital Record: Create an enduring archive of physical spaces and temporary exhibitions.
- Disaster Recovery Planning: Provide a detailed baseline for recovery efforts in case of damage.
- Resource for Researchers: Offer remote access to detailed visual and spatial data for scholars.
Accessible Video Tours for Everyone
While interactive 3D tours offer deep exploration, a guided video format provides a more accessible experience for all audiences. These video walkthroughs, created from the digital twins, allow viewers of any age or technical ability to enjoy the museum's highlights with a single click. This is especially helpful for users, including elders, who may find navigating a 3D space challenging. It ensures that the story and beauty of the collection are shared effortlessly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a Matterport tour and a custom 360° tour for a museum?
Matterport provides a fully automated 3D scan, creating an immersive 'dollhouse' view ideal for indoor exhibitions. For institutions requiring the absolute highest image fidelity or for projects involving Google Street View publication, we offer custom tours created with high-end DSLR cameras and fisheye lenses.
Can you create digital archives of individual artifacts?
Yes. While Matterport is for capturing spaces, we use other techniques like photogrammetry to create detailed 3D models of individual objects. These can be embedded within the main virtual tour for an even richer visitor experience.
How does a virtual tour integrate with our existing museum website?
Integration is simple. The virtual tour can be embedded on any page of your website, similar to a YouTube video. You can also use interactive 'Mattertags' to add text, images, and video links, turning the tour into a comprehensive educational tool.
