Adostrophe Announces Zero Travel Cost Policy for Matterport 3D Scanning and Google Street View Projects Across India

Adostrophe marks its ninth anniversary by introducing a Zero Travel Cost policy for Matterport 3D scanning and Google Street View projects across India. The move eliminates variable logistics fees, standardising spatial documentation costs for businesses in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities at par with metro pricing.

Removing the Logistics Barrier

Until now, securing high-fidelity structured-light scanning in India often required flying specialised crews and equipment from metro hubs. This logistical burden made projects in remote educational campuses, healthcare facilities, and industrial zones cost-prohibitive. Effective January 2026, Adostrophe will absorb all travel, accommodation, and logistics costs for projects nationwide.

"A government hospital in Manipur deserves the same 135-megapixel spatial asset as a five-star hotel in Bangalore," says Niranjan Ramamurthy, Director at Adostrophe. "By removing travel charges, we are ensuring that access to verified Google Street View paths and high-fidelity 3D twins is no longer dictated by geography or logistics budgets. We are effectively democratising the digital twin landscape in India."

360 Photos vs. Digital Twins: Clarifying the Difference

The policy launch coincides with the agency's renewed effort to educate the Indian market on the technical distinction between standard "virtual tours" and true digital twins.

While standard 360-degree photography captures flat images mapped onto a sphere, it lacks depth data. In contrast, the Matterport digital twins provided by Adostrophe use structured-light (infrared) sensors combined with high-resolution photography to generate a dimensionally accurate 3D mesh. This technology enables the signature "Dollhouse View" and allows for the extraction of technical outputs such as point clouds (.XYZ) and schematic floor plans—assets critical for AEC validation and facilities planning.

The "Blue Line" Advantage on Google Maps

For retail, hospitality, and public-facing institutions, these connected Matterport tours integrate directly with Google Maps. Once published, these appear as continuous "Blue Lines" within Street View, signalling to Google algorithms that the location is verified, navigable, and operational. This serves as a significant trust signal for local SEO and customer discovery.
