Features
Virtual Tour
Showcase your facility online — 24/7
A Matterport 3D tour gives patients and families an in-depth, immersive preview of waiting areas, treatment rooms, accessible routes, and specialist zones. This virtual walkthrough reduces anxiety and increases trust—people stay 3× longer on pages with tours compared to 2D images .
Highlighted Reel - Guided Tour
Control the experience with a curated walkthrough
Create a guided highlight reel showing the most important areas of your service — from reception to treatment rooms — making it easy for first-time visitors to understand your layout and flow.
Digital Twin & Schematic Floorplans
Create an interactive digital model and printable floorplan
From your virtual tour we can generate an accurate digital twin and downloadable PDF or CAD floorplans for facility planning, compliance checks, and staff training. While not as precise as professional laser scans, these are ideal for everyday use*.

Accessibility & Wayfinding
Help users find their way—before they arrive
Interactive features and Dollhouse View make it easy to explore accessible entrances, ramps, toilets, sensory rooms, and evacuation routes—great for patients with mobility or cognitive needs.
Info Tags & Search Tool
Interactive hotspots with vital info
Click-to-use tags offer quick access to staff profiles, equipment guides, treatment info, infection-control policies, and videos on services. A search tool lets visitors instantly locate rooms like physiotherapy suites or sensory areas.
Measurement Mode
On-demand room measurements
Care teams and managers can measure corridors, treatment rooms, and equipment spacing from their screen—ideal for planning, compliance, and refurbishments.
Social Sharing & Google Integration
Boost visibility and engagement
Share your tour across social media, embed it in newsletters, or publish it on Google Street View. This enhances local SEO, encourages longer visits, and improves transparency.
VR Headset Compatibility
Step inside your facility—even before you arrive
Using a VR headset like Meta Quest, your Matterport virtual tour transforms into a fully immersive 360° experience—enabling users to experience your care environment in true scale and depth. With VR, families, patients, and staff can take a virtual walk through reception areas, therapy rooms, sensory spaces, and accessible corridors. This helps reduce uncertainty, build familiarity, and prepare patients—especially those with anxiety, autism, ADHD, or dementia—by giving them a realistic preview of the day-to-day environment they’ll encounter
Importantly, Matterport’s web-based VR mode works seamlessly with modern headsets (no extra software needed): users can simply load the tour, tap the VR icon, and fully immerse themselves in the space. This tool adds a powerful layer of engagement—families can visit virtually from home, clinicians and support workers can orient themselves before site visits, and interactive VR stations at events or open days bring your facility to life in a memorable way. It’s not only a step forward in user experience—it’s a strategic advantage that reinforces trust, accessibility, and innovation.
