Here’s an example of our restaurant virtual tours
How does it help?
Interactive & Engaging
The more time a potential booking spends on your businesses website the more likely they are to become a customer. Virtual tours are proven to increase the time spent on a page by up to 300%
Party Bookings
Is your restaurant or venue perfect for large gatherings? Show your customers the space laid out for a birthday, wedding or christmas party and attract more group bookings
Book From The Tour
Make the most of a website visitors impulse to book. It’s simple and easy for customers to book a table, reserve a booth or hire your function room directly from the virtual tour.
Virtual tours are a relatively new type of interactive content, so many people aren’t sure about the journey from enquiry to the finished product.
We’ve worked hard to simplify the process into 4 simple steps to make things as easy as possible for our clients.

Our most frequently asked questions
The honest answer is every project is different, factors such as the size, intricacy and complexity of the space can all impact the time required to effectively 3D scan a building.
However, we can provide some ballpark timings based on our real world experience:
Again this can vary depending upon the project but as a general rule we aim to have the virtual tour back for review within 5 to 7 working days.
Once the tour has been reviewed by the client we’ll then look at adding in any data-tags to the tour. This part of the process is usually a collaboration between us and the client to determine what information, photos, video or audio needs adding to the tour and where is best to add that content. How long this takes is often determined by the client’s readiness with their content but usually it’s a couple of days.
For most use cases, getting the best results from a virtual tour means shooting the property or business when footfall is at a minimum, this could be on a weekend or in an evening. Our team is happy to shoot during these times (at no extra cost) to ensure the best end result.
Having a staff member to escort our team out of hours can sometimes be a challenge for our clients. In these cases we’re happy to collect a key during office hours then conduct the shoot without an escort. We pride ourselves on our experience and professionalism so will always conduct ourselves accordingly while unaccompanied.
There are cases where this may not be appropriate, such as scanning a construction or high voltage site. For these projects we may require an escort for health and safety reasons.
Virtual tours are hosted online, similar to a website. This allows your virtual tour to be interactive and exploreable without the need to use a program or app. Viewers will be able to open your virtual tour on everything from an iphone to a desktop PC. This also enables the virtual tour to be embedded right onto a webpage or property listing.
With this in mind, when Scene3D deliver your virtual tour we’ll send you 3 links:
As we mentioned above, virtual tours are hosted online. This does mean there are some associated costs, similar to hosting a website.
At Scene3D we charge £60 +VAT per year for virtual tour hosting.
As a virtual tour is a detailed view of a space that can be viewed from anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day, it’s a reasonable concern to worry who could be taking a look. The truth is just like posting on social media or youtube, a virtual tour is as safe as you decide it to be.
During post-production, there’s a variety of options to adjust the security level of your virtual tour. These include: passwords, privacy settings, sharing settings and the blur tool. Each of these options can be tailored to meet your needs. For example, a residential property agent may want as many people as possible to view the virtual tour, increasing the number of enquiries. Whereas an architect who’s virtual tour is for their team’s reference only, may wish to add a password.
A virtual tour is a piece of ‘reality capture’ content. This means they are designed to look as true to life as possible. While this is great for giving an honest depiction of a space it does limit the options that a virtual tour provider has to edit during post production.
Unlike traditional photographs, it’s not possible to open a virtual tour in a program like Photoshop then edit the visuals of a space.
However, virtual tour providers do have some options to edit a virtual tour. If something personal like a letter or a family photo is accidentally visible during the shoot, there is a blur tool available. This allows us to carefully ‘brush out’ these items, making sure privacy is maintained.
It’s also possible to ‘hide’ positions in a virtual tour. So if, during the review phase, you spot something you’d prefer not to display, we may be able to hide that scan position.
Data tags are clickable hotspots in your virtual tour that can contain additional content. Data-tags can contain text, photos, video, audio or web links and are one of the best ways to maximize the value and effectiveness of your virtual tour.
Scene3D offers unlimited data-tags for your virtual tour without any extra charges. Our expert team will to work with you to optimize the placement, quantity, and content of these data-tags, ensuring your virtual tour achieves its full potential.
Our team works all over the UK and sometimes even Europe.
We’ve worked on everything from remote hotels in the Scottish highlands to high rise offices in the center of Berlin. If required, we will always agree any travel costs with a client at the quotation stage.
