With the current pandemic conditions, it has proved challenging for schools to introduce themselves to new students and their parents. One school that’s gone that extra distance is the Smithdon Highschool, using a combination of drone technology and the Matterport software to create a tour that places them well above the competition. 

Swoop down from the clouds as you scan across the extensive school buildings, giving you the perfect perspective on the capacity and extent of the estate. Select buildings one by one and tour the classrooms and facilities, each marked with clear information points that help narrate your journey as you traverse the rooms. To ensure that the tour can operate at all levels, there’s even shortcuts to take you from building to building, rather than having to return to the wide, panoramic shots.

And thanks to this tour, analytics are showing that applications have increased in 2020 from previous levels in 2019. If that isn’t a fantastic result, then we don’t know what is…

When this well-loved, traditional Norfolk-based creative enclave wanted to put on an exhibition featuring over 40 international artists, thanks to COVID the organisers were left struggling for a solution. Fortunately Insight Virtual Tours came up with an elegant solution, transcribing the real life exhibition into a high definition virtual tour that allows guests and visitors to explore the artworks at their own pace.

And the Matterport tour functionality allows people to effortlessly traverse the boutique exhibition, observing all of the pieces in situ. Using the hot buttons, more details and clear photography can be bought up allowing a deeper look – and the final advantage of this functionality is that if the viewer wants to purchase the piece, then all it takes is a simple click of a button and its theirs.

The virtual reality experience takes you deep into the heart of the car retail world. Imagine the difference when you buy from somewhere with energy and excitement – as opposed to the box cut showrooms of the main street dealers. That’s where the interior design enters the picture.

Nothing lets you imagine how furniture could appear in your home quite like a virtual tour. And with the fast paced evolution of the retail space, sellers and suppliers are starting to experiment with building bold new digital showrooms in the cloud. Easy Bathrooms has grasped this opportunity with both hands, creating a stylish introduction to the elegance of their sinks, baths and furnishings in a simple, single room tour.

And one of the best features of the Matterport tour, the framework behind Insight’s highly structured 360 degree VR tours, is that it allows businesses to create links on different products and display items. Information appertaining to each element of the tour can be effortlessly deployed through these hot buttons – but perhaps more importantly for Easy Bathrooms, they can also sell these items directly to their clients through the tour.

Another local opportunity. Insight were invited to construct a VR tour in Norwich for the well-known Lakenham Primary School. Pupils had been off school in the early part of 2020 and there were concerns that new starters and school movers wouldn’t have a chance to see their new surrounds.

We constructed a simple yet comprehensive tour, that not only gives kids the complete visuals – but adds a touch of educational fun with the hot buttons. The new tour attracted considerable local attention too…

Hop around this delightful virtual tour, exploring one of Norfolk’s most famous breweries, Lacons, which was once regally visited by none other than the Lord Admiral Nelson himself. This short tour is all about bringing the past into the future, using the latest virtual tour technology to allow visitors to wander round this iconic site at their own leisure.

Enter through the glorious stone courtyard with the visitors shop and virtual museum on the right. With films and footage from the 1950s to help frame the history of Lacons, information is readily at hand with tons of insight into its years of service creating some of the best beers supped in East Anglia.

To top it off, the tour has proved to be a big hit with visitors not only in the UK, but with many of our stateside cousins passing through the virtual tour – it’s starting to attract interest on a global scale.
