Mattertags for Marketing
The David Duncan House tour comes complete with custom Mattertags. They can be found throughout the experience in order to communicate additional information. Mattertags add context to specific locations, objects or features directly inside the restaurant. Represented as colour or customer image pins attached to any surfaces, Mattertags are activated by mouseover and are directly clickable.
A Mattertag post can take the form of a title or text description that is anchored to a specific point in the place of business. It can also be a photo, video, audio clip or URL link. With Mattertags, a business can highlight key features in their spaces, provide pertinent information and add context to what viewers are seeing. They help to deepen engagement with the virtual content and tell the story that accompanies the visuals of the tour.
HDR Photography
A 3D Guided Tour is a very unique and intriguing experience. Nevertheless, there is still a lot of power in still images. The below HDR images were provided to David Duncan House, un-edited and un-branded. Doing so allowed the restaurant to update their website and marketing initiatives without the need to hire an expensive photographer. With these fantastic photos, the fine dining eatery avoided long right agreements and licensing fees. The pictures are all part of the MeloDrone package!
As you can see from the wonderful shots below, each photo presents a clear, crisp, high-definition image of the interior of David Duncan House. Clicking on either the back or forth arrows provides you with a 2D version of the guided tour that you can take at your own pace.
Interior/Exterior 360s
MeloDrone’s 3D Guided Tour has greatly improved the David Duncan House website experience. However, our service also offers clients dozens of interior and exterior 360 globe images. They are excellent for display on company websites and/or social media profiles.
