Create Your Own 3D Virtual Tour
Use your own smartphone. We provide the equipment, instructions and support.
Vivestia’s DIY 3D Virtual Tour service gives you a simple way to capture your own property without waiting for an on-site production team. We send you the necessary equipment and guide you through the process – you capture the space, and we help you turn it into an interactive 3D experience.
A practical option for properties that want more flexibility over when and how they are captured.
Professional guidance. Your own capture.
You do not need to be a 3D scanning specialist. The service is designed so you can capture the property yourself with your smartphone and the equipment supplied by Vivestia.
Capture When It Suits You
Choose the day and time that works best for the property instead of coordinating an on-site production visit.
Use Your Own Smartphone
The capture process is designed around a mobile phone together with the equipment we provide.
Follow Clear Instructions
Vivestia provides guidance and best practices so you know how to move through and capture the space correctly.
