Experience the best suburban Ottawa has to offer at Quinn’s Pointe, located in the thriving community of Stonebridge between Barrhaven and Manotick in Ottawa. Surrounded by nature and convenient to top-rated schools, highway 416, public transportation, and recreational centers, Quinn’s Pointe is the perfect place for young families and working professionals. Just a short 25-30 minute drive from downtown Ottawa, the suburb has always had the Riocan plazas as an anchor for grocery stores, restaurants, Cineplex movie theater, and other retail such as Eyes of Barrhaven. But Barrhaven continues to grow with the Regional Group Citigate area and the arrival of major retailers like Costco, Amazon, and car dealerships closer to the highway. Quinn’s Pointe is also home to the Minto Recreation Complex, so those 6 am ice hockey practices are just minutes away.
About Minto Communities Ottawa
Minto was founded in 1955 by four Ottawa brothers, Louis, Gilbert, Irving, and Lorry Greenberg, as a homebuilding business in Ottawa. By 1965, the company had already built over 5,000 homes in the region and had established itself as the largest private landlord in Ottawa. In the late 1980s, Minto diversified and made its first entry into the Toronto market. To this day Minto is one of Ottawa’s largest and most well-known homebuilders.

Model Home Virtual Tour Specialists
With a virtual tour, homebuyers can do their own walk-throughs of properties or model homes from anywhere, and at any time, generating higher engagement and new home sales leads. Virtual tours allow buyers and sellers to come together online at a time that is mutually beneficial.
Time constraints, crowds, and frustrations are taken out of the equation, which adds up to a smoother and less stressful process. Because virtual tours, photographs, aerial photography, floor plans, and other measurements are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, buyers can examine the details, compare properties, and share the information with family, friends, and realtors at their convenience. Virtual Tours don’t drive away model home sales appointments either, what they do is prequalify specific home models for a homebuyer and new home consultant to visit.
We help homebuilders attract more qualified prospects by giving viewers the most complete and accurate representation of the property, filtering unqualified and uninterested leads, and attracting those that are genuinely interested and financially qualified.
Point3D Commercial Imaging is a contributing member of the Ontario Home Builders’ Association. If you are a builder and are looking to learn more or are ready to use 3D Virtual Tours in Ottawa, Montreal or Toronto, contact our team to begin capturing model home virtual tours.

]]>Virtual Open Houses Finding a Home in Real Estate Marketing
Over the past few years, the value of virtual options for businesses of all types has skyrocketed, helping to keep large parts of the economy running during difficult times. However, in a post-pandemic world, virtual open houses continue to be a useful and unique tool in real estate marketing beyond just social distancing.
Open houses are a popular and effective strategy in the real estate industry, allowing multiple home buyers to view properties at the same time. While it is rare for a buyer to make an offer on a property without first touring it in person, virtual open houses have made the process more efficient by eliminating the impersonal, stressful, and staff-dependent nature of in-person open houses. With the help of 3D virtual tour technology, buyers can see a property in vivid detail, whether it is staged or empty, making virtual tours just as reliable as in-person tours.
When prospective home buyers are shopping for a house, they often line up several open house tours per day on weekends. While realtors try their best to keep them in close proximity in time and space, after the first 2 or 3, fatigue sets in, stress takes over, and the properties all begin to look alike, leaving buyers feeling frustrated and sellers unaccomplished. If a prospect does manage to see a house, a follow-up visit is usually necessary especially with couples when only one of the buyers has seen the property. Often times several additional visits are even requested to show parents, friends, or even business partners.
Choosing a home is probably the biggest decision one makes in their lifetime, so this is part of the natural process, and any real estate agent worth their salt understands this and accommodates these requests. But, in a seller’s market, inventory is low and demand high, properties sell fast, leaving home buyers, especially first-timers, feeling pressured into making a fast decision or risk losing the property.
With a 3D virtual tour, prospective buyers can do their own walk-throughs of properties from anywhere, and at any time, generating higher engagement and interest. Virtual tours allow buyers and sellers to come together online at a time that is mutually beneficial. Time constraints, crowds, and frustrations are taken out of the equation, which adds up to a smoother and less stressful process. Because virtual tours, photographs, aerial photography, floor plans, and other measurements are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, buyers can examine the details, compare properties, and share the information with family, friends, and realtors at their convenience.
Further, 3D Virtual Tours attract more qualified prospects by giving viewers the most complete and accurate representation of the property, filtering out unqualified or uninterested leads, and attracting those that are genuinely interested in the property.
3D Tour Stats to Consider
- 95% of prospects are more likely to call about a property with virtual tours
- Properties that use 3D Virtual Tours sell at a 6% higher sale price than those without
- Market time is decreased by 31%
- Time viewing site is increased by 15%
Virtual open houses have become an increasingly popular and effective solution to these challenges in the real estate industry. By hosting a virtual open house, sellers can showcase their property to a larger audience and eliminate the need for multiple in-person visits. Buyers can view properties from the comfort of their own homes and at their own pace, without the need to coordinate schedules or travel.
Virtual open houses also offer convenience and flexibility for both buyers and sellers. Sellers can host virtual open houses at any time, making it easier to accommodate a wider range of interested buyers. And with 3D virtual tour technology, buyers can see a property in vivid detail, whether it is staged or empty, making virtual tours just as reliable as in-person tours.
And because most buyers spend more than two-thirds of their time online when searching for properties before they actually buy or rent, providing them with more information than ever, they are better equipped to make informed decisions. If a picture paints a thousand words, virtual open house tours paint millions.
Overall, virtual open houses provide a valuable and innovative solution for both buyers and sellers in the real estate industry, eliminating the fatigue and stress of in-person open house tours and allowing for more targeted marketing efforts. As technology continues to advance, it is likely that virtual open houses will become an increasingly important part of the real estate marketing process.
What is a Virtual Open House?
A virtual open house is an immersive online tour of a property, especially attractive to the first round of clients who would otherwise visit in person. An excellent feature used to show an agent’s buyers around a property from the comfort of their own home virtual tours are more than just a feature; they are revolutionizing the home-buying business. Take it from the Ottawa homebuilders eQ Homes and Richcraft Homes, who both integrate model home virtual tours in their marketing strategy.
Every year, we donate our 3D virtual tour service to support the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario and scan the CHEO Dream of a Lifetime: Minto Dream Home.
Benefits of Virtual Tours for Real Estate Buyers
- The 24/7 open house: Unlike traditional showings which require tedious scheduling and time constraints, virtual tours are “hosted” 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, giving visitors the opportunity to take their time exploring every corner of every room at their leisure and return to take a second (or third) look without the need to schedule an appointment.
- See a property from anywhere: Because virtual tours are worldwide, clients who may have been able to travel to view the listing before having the opportunity to look at properties regardless of the distance, expanding the customer base on a global level.
- Learn the layout better: Virtual tours are more detailed and easier to visualize than just photos and floor plans. Adding tours of the neighborhood, schools, and town centers, prospective buyers can gain a great insight into the area without ever stepping foot on the grounds.
- Prospective buyers can take their time: Clients can spend more time in the rooms and areas that matter to them. If someone is especially interested in closet space, they can take time to explore every storage space in the home. Those who want to pay particular attention to the kitchen, yard, bathrooms, or office space can take their time to “walk through” the spaces that matter most to them without feeling rushed or crowded.
Benefits of Virtual Tours for Real Estate Agents
- More visitors can view the space at once: Because virtual visitors don’t take up any space in the tour, the capacity is limitless.
- Faster Deal Cycle: Present the complete information about a property in an immersive, online format that shortens your deal cycle by providing prospects with everything they need to close.
- More Qualified Prospects: Attract more qualified prospects by giving viewers the most complete representation of your property which cuts down unnecessary site visits.
- Save time, money, and a lot of hassle: Intended to be the first viewing, the purpose is not just to reduce in-person viewings, but to ensure that the second physical viewings are qualified. By streamlining the time spent searching and narrowing down properties to view, buyers will only plan viewings for those in which they are most interested. Because an agent can spend as much as eight hours with clients on first-time viewings, virtual tours are a more efficient marketing tool.
- Immersive experience: By offering an extra dimension and immersive experience, virtual tours enhance the value of online hosting substantially, helping to set the agency apart from the competition. Because 80% of first viewings don’t lead to a second, agents can eliminate wasting time on clients that have little or no intention of purchasing.
- Accessible to buyers with physical limitations: Virtual tours make showings to prospective buyers with restricted mobility or other issues that make it difficult to view properties in person possible. Visiting numerous properties is a time-consuming and draining process for anyone, but for those with disabilities and special needs, it’s just that much harder. Agents can provide all prospective buyers with an immersive experience regardless of their limitations.
- Show properties in their best light: It’s always sunny in the virtual world. Because 60% of viewings are done on evenings and weekends, 3D Virtual Tours have the ability to change the time of day making it easier for agents to show the home’s interior and exterior in daylight, no matter what time of day it really is.
- Editing Tools Highlight Property’s Best Features: Virtual technology also makes it possible to portray the property in its very best light, in springtime, for example, even in the dead of winter. Virtual gardens, lawns, pools, and other exterior features can be virtually optimized as well. Grass made green, pools blue and clear, and gardens filled with colorful spring flowers.
- Less disruptive to sellers’ lives: One of the hardest parts of showing homes to prospects is encouraging sellers to keep the house clean and tidy without being a thorn in their side. This can be especially difficult for sellers with small kids and pets or who work from home. With pre-recorded virtual tours, sellers never have to worry about keeping the property constantly neat and tidy or having their family or work life disturbed.
- Elevate a property’s aesthetic appeal with virtual staging: Virtual staging: Virtual staging can add, change, or upgrade interior design elements to 3D tours and images, in order to make a property, more aesthetically pleasing or easily understood by a buyer. Virtual staging and interior design can be personalized to fit the age or style of the prospective buyer.
Like many other industries that pivoted during the pandemic, the real estate market has changed forever and virtual tours are a huge part of that change. Most of our clients are now including a 3D Tour with every listing because it helps qualify buyers and quickens closing the real estate sale. As a buyers agent, having a digital twin of multiple exclusive listings gives clients the freedom to tour many homes as many times as they want, all from the quiet and convenience of their own home or office.

]]>3 Ways Virtual Tours Can Help Transform Your Onboarding Program
Gamification: Gamification takes the “snore factor” out of the training equation by adding a little friendly competition to the mix.
3D-enabled gamification can not just be used to represent your actual space accurately, it can also transform the traditional yawn-inducing onboarding process, creating an alternatively more engaging, enjoyable, personalized experience. As such, not-so-exciting facility tours or slide decks on topics like company benefits and policies could be converted into fun games making staff’s eyes open a little wider and allowing pertinent information to be better absorbed.
Functional training: Virtual training with virtual tours can be especially beneficial for certain jobs and functions that are inherently dangerous, highly stressful, or involve the use of expensive machinery. For example, electrical engineers and grid technicians can use virtual training modules to simulate real-life scenarios or introduce new technicians to locations virtually.
Virtual training can also be used to onboard and train sales and field service teams by creating immersive videos that demonstrate how a finished product looks or functions, educating them to be effective in the field without the expense of in-person training.
Team Assimilation: One of the top reasons recently hired staffers quit after only six months on the job is often the disconnect they feel with the organization. And many new hires cite the onboarding experience as one reason for the feeling of not being a part of it.
And because team training sessions do not always work out the way you’d imagined, 3DVR can have a significant impact. Increased interaction between teams from across the globe through virtual tours can help to bring the company together and create a united company culture.
Onboarding Examples
Many of our clients have already started to use 3DVR to optimize their onboarding process. Here are just a few examples.
Containerized Hydroponic System – The Growcer
The Growcer offers modular, plug-and-play hydroponic systems that allow for food production in remote locations and operations. With the use of 3D laser imaging and virtual tours, individuals can explore The Growcer’s sustainable hydroponic growing container and customer onboard online without physically visiting the location.
Both the sales and support teams at The Growcer use dedicated 3D tours to showcase their product to remote customers and provide clear, detailed support using virtual technology. Not only can the sales team introduce their hydroponic system to prospects from around the globe, but the use of 3D tours also saves on acquisition costs and has significantly improved sales from outside the province. Potential growers can also gain confidence in their purchase by exploring the virtual tour or previewing the units over a video call for user onboarding of the 3D tour.
See how VR is helping The Growcer grow their business here.
Car Dealership – Tony Graham Kanata Toyota
An in-vehicle Matterport 3D tour of a car dealership in Canada allows web visitors to familiarize themselves with the layout of the dealership and inspect the interior details of the vehicles before visiting in person. The tour also includes multimedia labels for users to learn more about each model, and includes features such as inventory pages, booking test drives, and in-tour vehicle customization.
With over 100 3D scans, this immersive 3D virtual tour allows online visitors to get a feel for the dealership and its vehicle models before visiting in person. The tour is also useful for Tony Graham Kanata Toyota to use as a tool for onboarding new staff, streamlining their entire onboarding process by familiarizing them with the dealership and its inventory before their first day of work.
See how Tony Graham Kanata Toyota provides onboarding for new employees here.
Modular Containerized Compressed Air System – Halyard
Normally when showing and selling a containerized unit our client, Halyard, would fly their clients to the production facility or ship the unit to the customer’s country. During 2020/2021 with travel restrictions and the high cost of shipping a sea container to various Countries, Point3D developed a 3D virtual tour container system’s customer onboarding best practices. The 3D Tour was included in marketing materials and enabled thousands of client visits efficiently and safely.
The virtual 3D tours used to sell their containers have applications that extend beyond sales including training their teams on the equipment they’ll be selling before they enter the field.
See how Modular Containerized Compressed Air System is using virtual tours here.
Virtual tours are a valuable tool for businesses of all sizes, as they can save time and money while increasing the effectiveness of training. These tours can be used repeatedly, freeing up veteran staff and management to focus on their work.
In addition, virtual tours eliminate risk factors by allowing new hires to get up-close-and-personal with even the most dangerous machinery without disrupting the work of current staff or halting facility operations. As the workplace adapts to the new normal, virtual tours are a valuable resource for the training and onboarding process.

]]>The Power of Pointclouds: Electric Substation
Critical infrastructure such as power plants and distribution stations can be complex and potentially hazardous. Many facility management and design professionals seek tools that allow for remote viewing and measurement to prioritize safety and efficiency. 3D laser scanning technology is one such property technology that produces point cloud files that provide millimeter-accurate representations of as-found conditions at electrical infrastructure sites. These files enable all project stakeholders to virtually walk and measure scanned areas from their offices, reducing the need for on-site personnel and expediting project designs and as-builts. Additionally, these point cloud files can be easily integrated into existing Revit or AutoCAD as-built workflows.
Safety And Efficiency Advancements
Facility managers and engineers are responsible for inspecting and maintaining critical infrastructure and buildings over time. This process often involves multiple site visits by multiple disciplines and may require further investigation once deficiencies are identified. Point cloud technology offers a more efficient and safer alternative by allowing for a single site visit to capture 360-degree photos and accurate measurements. This data can be used to create virtual tours of an electrical substation and detailed repair and maintenance plans, reducing the need for on-site personnel and minimizing the risk of injury.
The Right 3D Laser Scanner For The Job
There are various types of 3D laser scanners available on the market, each with different distance, speed, and accuracy capabilities. At Point3D, we use the Leica Geosystems line of 3D laser scanners and carefully select the most appropriate device for each project based on its complexity, size, and accuracy requirements. This allows us to deliver accurate and reliable point cloud data to our clients.
How To Use Pointcloud 3D Data
Point cloud files can be seamlessly integrated into Autodesk Revit and AutoCAD as-built workflows, enabling the creation of various types of floor plans, including as-built models, MEPF clash reports, and floor flatness/levelness reports. If you don’t have an internal team to develop your pointcloud-to-BIM, we can design as-found models at the level of detail required.
Pointcloud File Formats
Point cloud files come in a range of formats, including both open-source and proprietary options. The appropriate format depends on the downstream workflow and point cloud software being used in visualization or as-built modeling. At Point3D, we can help you determine the right point cloud specifications to meet your needs.
Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) is a common method for producing point cloud data, which can be stored in a variety of file formats. These formats are designed to hold 3D point cloud data, as well as other 3D data such as images and meshes. They support a wide range of binary data types, including coordinates, intensity, color, and reflectance. To ensure optimal usability, point cloud processing is often performed to reduce file size.
.RCP
The most requested point cloud delivery format. Natively integrates with all Autodesk products including Revit and AutoCAD.
.PTX
A .PTX file is a text file used to store point data collected with terrestrial laser scanners.
.E57
The most compatible structured point cloud format type. Opens in most pointcloud viewing programs.
.XYZ
Another ASCII pointcloud file generated by our Matterport systems.
.LGS
Leica Truview is the only program to open .LGS point cloud files and is our preferred pointcloud viewing program.
.LAS
Large-scale aerial LiDAR is used to create these data sets.
Point cloud files offer a convenient way to share accurate site measurements and 360-degree images within an organization, improving collaboration and project management. Laser scanning for point clouds is a cost-effective and time-saving solution for electrical engineers, electricity providers, and substation operators who prioritize efficiency and innovation.
We are 3D Laser Scanning and Point Cloud Experts
With experience scanning hundreds of electrical stations, distribution substations, and network buildings, Point3D is the point cloud specialist you are looking for. Whether it’s for accurate as-found conditions facilities or for managing projects remotely, our clients in this space are saving time and money with Point Cloud services. Contact Point3D to learn more about 3D Laser Scanning for Point Cloud files in Canada.

]]>Restaurant Virtual Tours could be the Food Industry’s Secret Ingredient for Success
They say we eat with our eyes first, and when it comes to visually engaging and sharing content with restaurant customers, 3D virtual tours speak louder than words.
One of the pandemic’s most highly impacted industries, Covid-19 altered the restaurant game forever. Restaurants needed to quickly pivot from in-person dining to take-out/online operations in the blink of an eye. What was once a novel exception, delivery began ruling the food game.
Restaurants that once competed for in-person clientele, today’s kitchens serve delivery, take-out, dine-in, event venue rentals, and private events all at once. And with new restaurant business models bolstered by online apps like Uber Eats and Skip The Dishes, ghost kitchens are beginning to flood the market. Competition among restaurateurs is fiercer than ever.
With lockdowns a thing of the past, the restaurant industry is experiencing pent-up demand for unique and memorable food experiences. Whether you own a trendy street fooderie or an established upscale establishment, to meet the demands of today’s food consumer, restaurants today require innovative, intelligent, and strategic marketing to whet their customer’s appetites.
No longer tempted only by directly mailed menus or old-fashioned newspaper ads, today’s food fans expect more information, insight, and transparency before opening their wallets and making a reservation.
As more restaurants begin to use traditional video in their marketing efforts, it’s important for businesses to stand out for customers to take notice.
That’s where Restaurant Virtual Tours come into play.
Restaurants are using 3D Tours to introduce their ambiance and menu to consumers for the first time online, turning impressed first impressions into booked tables.
Beyond this, restaurant patrons appreciate being able to see the “best” seats in the house when making reservations.
Restaurant owners and managers are using 3D Tours to market their restaurants to both corporate and private party planners looking to rent a space or the entire restaurant for their events.
To rise above the internet noise, restaurants must find creative ways to engage with their customer base and attract new business. The next wave in the food service marketing game is digital and 3D Virtual Tours are a secret ingredient in a successful restaurant’s recipe box.
As more restaurants begin to use traditional video in their marketing efforts, it’s important for businesses to stand out for customers to take notice.
Changing the way we see restaurants
Virtual Tours for restaurants are one of the answers to the food service industry’s call for something more. Using virtual tour technology, offering a 360-degree, panoramic view, we are helping meet the ever-evolving needs of restaurants, ghost kitchens, and food retail establishments with onboarding and digital marketing with immersive virtual tours. Customers spend 5 to 10 times more on websites with virtual tours.
With restaurant virtual tours on websites, shared on social media channels, and recorded to create video content, they’re offering a wide range of marketing applications and facility management uses for restaurant owners.
Savvy restaurateurs are using 3D Tours to showcase their event venue spaces, providing corporate meeting planners with an immersive preview of their restaurants’ event space. Busy, out-of-town executives that are strapped for time are finding the convenience of touring a space without having to leave their office highly beneficial, making 3D Tours an essential marketing tool for this potential customer base.
Caterers, large groups, and families looking for event venues to hold weddings, bridal showers, birthday parties, reunions, bar mitzvahs, etc. are more likely to click on a restaurant’s event space website that features a 3D Virtual Tour, which offers a view of the space that traditional video or still photography cannot.
We also have food court establishments using 3D Tours to highlight their ambiance, offering a striking first impression online, and enticing first-time customers to visit their favourite restaurants.
And with the ability to be embedded with multi-media tags filled with videos, photos, and links, the uses can be further expanded for facility management, onboarding, training, and other operational purposes.
An essential tool used to illustrate menu items, introduce cooking techniques, explain inventory and inspection procedures, aid in customer service training, and assist with upselling techniques, virtual tours offer limitless opportunities to run an efficient business and boost a restaurant’s bottom line.
From quaint coffee shops upping their online ante to large dining spaces hosting corporate functions or private events, 3D Virtual Tours can be an effective tool to connect with customers, drive website traffic, enhance social media posts, and entice guests to visit physical locations.
Like wine and cheese, Restaurant Virtual Tour marketing and the food service industry are a perfect pair. And while there are plenty of angles you can take when creating a marketing strategy for your restaurant, first and foremost, it’s essential to produce content that is engaging and relevant to your customer’s needs.
With sustainability, safety, and health being key decision factors at the top of consumers’ minds these days, folks want to know more about the brands they choose to patronize.
To that end, studies show that the public wants to see more visual content from local businesses because it gives them a behind-the-scenes view and makes the establishments seem more trustworthy and transparent. Customers aged 18 to 34 are 130% more likely to book a table at restaurants with virtual tours.
This holds especially true for restaurants, giving customers upfront and personal views of the food they’ll be eating and the space they’ll be dining in.
Leveraging the power of 3D Virtual Tour marketing for your restaurant will give you a better shot at attracting hungry diners by enticing customers with realistic mouth-watering images that can’t be captured with traditional video or still photography. It also gives customers a sneak peek into the restaurant’s workings behind the scenes.
Spices up your social presence
Foodies today love to share every aspect of their palate-pleasing experiences. Whether it’s a perfect finger-licking chicken wing added to an Instagram story or a flaky croissant and steamy latte uploaded to their Twitter feed to ensure your restaurant stands out, you need to rise above the loud social media noise.
Just about anyone with a smartphone can create videos and post them on social media. To increase engagement, breed brand loyalty, and gain followers, matterport virtual tours will capture the attention of your prospective customers and excite your base.
Ridge Rock Brewing Co. in Carp, ON uses Restaurant Virtual Tours on its website to show its locations, tell its rich history story, highlight its chef’s personal style, and announce new menu items or upcoming events.
Paints a vibrant picture
There are few businesses that rely more on physical ambiance and environment than restaurants. It can be a painstaking task to get the look and feel of your restaurant’s interior and exterior with basic images or even traditional video.
Virtual tours allow customers to get a more realistic feel of your restaurant. The ability to adjust the mood with lighting and set a virtual table helps to entice customers more vividly than any other medium. We helped Hyde & Seek, a new hip speakeasy in downtown Ottawa by showcasing their new fresh digs online and enabling online bookings with Tablz.
Faster employee training
As the labor shortage continues to loom large, restaurants and facility management companies are having a difficult time hiring and retaining qualified staff. Using virtual tours in hiring sites, businesses can effectively market themselves to the most qualified candidates. New or visiting employees can access your store from their own computer to quickly understand the flow of the space and overall atmosphere without the hassle of an onsite visit.
Restaurant operators for the likes of Starbucks love using 3D Virtual Tours to understand what equipment is installed at what location. They also get an inside view of the entire restaurant, helping them coordinate new marketing campaigns and construction projects. Helping new employees learn their way around means they can hit the ground running on their first day, speeding up the onboarding process tremendously.
Higher Google ranking
Professional Google Street View Trusted virtual tours can be paired with your restaurant’s Google maps and street view, which helps with SEO. If a prospective customer is conducting a near-me search for restaurants in a specific geographic area on Google, for example, multiple results will be displayed.
Not only will restaurants with virtual tours in place stand out, but the increased engagement and uptick in clicks will boost your SEO, moving your restaurant up in the ranks.
Highly cost-effective digital marketing
Not only are virtual tours more interactive than traditional video production with over twice the time spent on the page, but they are also surprisingly affordable. And because 41% of virtual restaurant tours result in an on-site visit, they are a highly cost-effective marketing tool. Did you know 67% of people want more businesses to offer virtual tours?
Brand Showcasing
When Figaro Coffee House wanted to showcase its brand, featuring fine Arabica coffee beans from around the world, it knew it wanted to brew something that stood out from the competition. That’s when they got in touch with Point3D to harness the power of virtual presence for their new flagship location in Ottawa, ON.
They had us create 3D Virtual Tours to highlight the company’s superior roasting tactics, giving customers a birdseye, behind-the-scenes view that captured the brand’s sophisticated style and high-end standards.
Promotes Corporate Events and Private Party Hosting
Matterport Tours has the ability to allow planners to view your space without having to take time from their busy schedules for a live visit. When customers search for catering venues, restaurants with virtual tours will attract more visitors and draw more business. This powerful showing and placemaking tool can be easily shared and viewed by any device with an internet connection.
To show its separate room styles, Live Real Factory had us create two 3D Virtual Tours, one for its Corporate event venue and another for Events. Having these 3D Tours as separate links helps management show the setting for more event venue space bookings than ever before.
Creates an immersive experience
With more and more restaurants adding video to their marketing strategy, 3D Virtual Tours give you a leg up on today’s crowded online marketplace. An immersive experience that lets customers “walk-in” to your restaurant with their phone or computer long before they ever actually walk through your front door, prospective guests can wander through your restaurant virtually, scroll through your online menu, and gain deeper insight into your business’s unique universe.
By adding additional elements to the 3D Showcase, Aiana Restaurant Collective leads their guests by the hand into a whole new world. Their virtual tour has multimedia labels to show menus, recipes, interviews with chefs, and customer testimonials.
Pique consumers’ curiosity further by providing access to places typically closed to the public like your kitchen garden, wine cellar, or even your office! The possibilities are limited only by your imagination.
We enjoy working with every restaurant to help them achieve the very best virtual tour to use for marketing communication and facility management purposes. Most often the virtual tours are embedded onto their website, used with Tablz for booking tables, and used in email/text for showing their event space. Now that we have shared how 3D Tours are helping restaurants take a bite out of their local market share, what restaurant virtual tour applications could you envision incorporating into your restaurant’s marketing plan?
Restaurant Virtual Tours just might be the missing ingredient in your business’ recipe for success.

Attract Top Talent With 3D Virtual Tours
Today’s job market is more unpredictable and competitive than ever before–not for job seekers though, but for employers trying to fill open positions. And in today’s tenuous economy, employers need to find faster and more cost-efficient ways to hire and bring new staff on board. And because hiring great people is key to the growth of a business, the speed with which our people go from novice to contributor can be a big competitive differentiator.
Despite all of that, many companies ignore the impact of not having an effective and cost-effective onboarding program and continue dumping more and more time and money into recruiting. What’s worse is that after hiring and onboarding, it’s equally important to be sure the people you hire are likely to stick and stay.
Did you know that 90% of new hires make their decision about whether they want to stay or go within the first 6 months of employment? So if you’re going to the trouble and expense of recruiting and hiring, creating an onboarding experience that makes them want to stay makes good business sense.
Over the past year, more and more large corporations have begun finding unique ways to create more user-friendly and innovative onboarding experiences using virtual tours.
Virtual tours give new employees a snapshot of their new workplace before ever being physically present. Corporate candidates can virtually visualize their new career with your company – looking forward to their first day in the workplace, perfectly comfortable already knowing the layout and the setting through the virtual tour.
User Onboarding and Virtual Training
Integrating 3D Virtual Tours into virtual training programs can provide new employees with a comprehensive introduction to your facility and its operations. Its how to make virtual training more engaging. This method of onboarding is both engaging and safe, as new workers can familiarize themselves with the space from the comfort of their own office or home. In addition to allowing them to virtually walk around the building and get a sense of the layout, 3D Virtual Tours can also include multimedia tags to label equipment and provide relevant information, as well as embedded training videos on how to use specific equipment. By including important procedural safety rules and WHMIS (Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System) materials, virtual tours can help make onboarding faster, more effective, and more efficient without disrupting normal workflow.
Safety First
One of the major benefits of virtual training is the ability to provide new hires with a comprehensive introduction to your facility without disrupting daily operations or introducing unnecessary risks. This is especially useful in high-capacity or high-risk environments with dangerous machinery, where in-person tours may be difficult to plan and manage safely. Virtual tours allow new employees to familiarize themselves with the space without interference, and the added benefit of including multimedia labels, informational text, videos, photos, or links to web pages allows for more detailed explanations of dangerous machinery without exposing those unfamiliar with the facility to injury. Overall, virtual training with 3D Virtual Tours can be a safer, more efficient, and more effective way to onboard new employees in a variety of environments.
Get all the Info – the First Time
In-person onboarding can be a fast-paced and overwhelming experience for new employees, particularly when multiple people are being onboarded at the same time. This can make it difficult for new hires to ask questions or fully understand everything they are being taught. The person giving the tour may also be rushed or forget to cover important details, leading to gaps in knowledge.
Multimedia tags in virtual tours provide new hires with the ability to revisit and review information that they may not have fully understood during the initial tour. They can re-read text, re-watch videos, take notes, and know exactly where in the tour these resources were mentioned, allowing them to use them effectively on the job. In addition, virtual tours can include frequently asked questions to provide new hires with the information they need without having to ask for it. This helps to ensure that new employees have a comprehensive understanding of their new workplace and are prepared to succeed in their roles.
Training Made Easier and More Effective
For businesses that require equipment training, onboarding new employees can be a time-consuming process. However, virtual tours can make this process more efficient by integrating job or task-specific lessons. With virtual tours, new hires can review the location of different machinery and access multimedia tags to visit webpages with quizzes or lessons or watch videos that explain how the equipment works. This flexible approach to onboarding allows new employees to learn at their own pace and when they are most receptive to new information, resulting in more effective training. Studies have shown that this type of flexibility can improve the effectiveness of onboarding and training.
Save Time and Money
Virtual training environments can save time and money by eliminating the need for travel, whether it is sending training staff to field offices or flying new hires to the corporate headquarters. While in-person meetings are important for creating an inclusive workspace and providing hands-on training in certain industries, incorporating virtual training into onboarding can free up senior employees to focus on their own duties and allow new hires to learn the ropes at their own pace. This can be especially beneficial for industries where safety is a concern, as remote visits allows for a safer and more thorough introduction to the job without the risk of injury or feeling overwhelmed. Additionally, virtual training can be more cost-effective as it reduces the need for travel and accommodations.
Virtual tours have the potential for saving businesses of all sizes time and money, increasing the effectiveness of training, and can be used again and again, freeing up your veteran staffers and management to do their work.
Eliminating the risk factors, virtual tours have the advantage of bringing new hires up-close-and-personal with even the most dangerous machinery, allowing your current staff to continue working and your facility to keep operating, making the onboarding process less intrusive and a lot safer. As the workplace adjusts to this new normal, virtual tours are the next frontier in the training and onboarding process.

]]>With tremendous Automotive and Marketing industry experience, there is no better company in Ontario for capturing Dealership Virtual Tours than Point3D Commercial Imaging.
It used to be all about radio advertising, and catching drivers on their commute to and from work, but now most dealerships are opting to spend more and more of their marketing budget on digital marketing. It’s 2022. For some dealerships, traditional media like radio, TV, and Out-Of-Home advertising spend still dwarfs digital. But other dealership groups are using digital marketing to generate local brand awareness and brand recognition at a more competitive cost than blanketing the airwaves with dealership ads. As cars are seldom sold online and without a test drive, the digital strategy of these car dealerships is to attract consumers to their showrooms. Having the consumer confident about the showroom and ready to buy so that a salesperson can easily sell them is everything. Enter dealership virtual tours and take it from Evan McCosham, Marketing Manager at Tony Graham Automotive Group in Ottawa, ON.
“After deploying them on our contact page, the dealership virtual tours enticed online visitors to make appointments and to visit in person more often.”
– Evan McCosham, Marketing Manager, Tony Graham Automotive Group
We’re helping Tony Graham Automotive Group and many other dealerships in Ontario by creating dealership virtual tours with 3D Matterport every year to keep up with the latest-generation flagship models. Our service provides the most immersive and state-of-the-art dealership virtual tours. The 3D Matterport tour is embedded onto the dealer’s website, a Google Street View tour is added to Google Maps, the 3D Tour is shared in monthly dealership promotions (i.e. flyers, newsletters), and in other sales communications.
Using the 3D dealership virtual tour a user can freely preview the entire dealership, learn more about select models, and book a consultation or test drive. Using multimedia labels, the 3D Matterport tour embedded on the websites can add additional context, videos, and more. Our systems are integrated with the inventory stock of the dealership and can let a user know if a particulate model is available to be seen at the dealership. When users do visit in person they are ultimately more comfortable as they will recall the layout and car models in the dealers’ showrooms. This results in confident buyers more often for the car dealership sales staff to work with in person.
We love to capture 3D Matterport dealership tours. One of the unique features of our 3D Tours over other companies is the ability to show the interior of car models in 3D. We scan the vehicle interior allowing users to step right inside of the latest and greatest car models, see the dash, and really get a feel for the car. From the driver’s seat, users can see the sales brochure, watch a video, or even book a test drive.
We are digitizing dealerships and making them visitable online in 3D. By seeing the dealership showroom and vehicles virtually, consumers are more genuinely interested when they decide to visit in person. Our dealership virtual tours have been viewed over 55,000 times over the past three years, think of how many converted into in-person visits?
We know that every year, more dealerships want to share their showrooms online to the public looking their best and stocked with the latest generation of vehicles. We work with Marketing Managers to supplement their car dealership digital marketing strategies with 3D dealership virtual tours.
Dealership Virtual Tours for Toyota
Tony Graham Automotive Group was the first dealership in Ottawa we had the pleasure of visualizing in 3D. Tony Graham has incredible brand power and their radio tagline from the 1990s is still unforgettable to any Ottawa native. In fact, our Founder Spencer MacPherson’s first car, a 1995 Toyota Corolla, was originally purchased at Tony Graham Toyota on Merivale. Since then, MacPherson’s belief in the Toyota promise of reliability and quality remains to this day. The company car is now a much updated 2019 Toyota Corolla. In this dealership virtual tour, the Toyota Corolla Hatchback and Toyota 86 were featured as brand-new models that year.

Dealership Virtual Tours for Lexus
After the first dealership virtual tour at Tony Graham Toyota, other car dealerships were looking at using 3D Tours on their website. Toyota’s more affluent or well-dressed cousin, Lexus, was looking for a way to bring more clients to their dealership With an email request to Point3D, they procured an estimate for a dealership virtual tour including in several vehicles. The cost is nominal and could be co-opted by the Lexus brand as a marketing initiative. This ultimately made it more feasible for a new 3D Tour to be created each year. We now visit annually when new-generation models are released to update the car dealership 3D Tour.

Dealership Virtual Tours for Kia
We don’t just service Ottawa, Ontario. When car dealer Kia Durham reached out looking for a car dealership virtual tour with Matterport, we sold them on our expertise in capturing the very best Matterport scans with cars in dealerships. We chose a day that space was closed to the public, cleaned, and with each vehicle specially placed to allow navigation and completed the 3D Virtual Tour capture. The Matterport scan took a full day to complete, with deliverables ready within that same week. To deploy the marketing collateral, the car dealer set up a “Shop From Home” sales funnel that incorporates the 3D Tour and embeddedd it on the contact page of their website.

]]>Our community spotlight for the month of June 2022 focuses on the Mahogany Community By Minto Communities in Manotick with model home Matterport tours!
Currently in its third phase, the Minto Mahogany community in Manotick is a six-acre development just south of Manotick’s Main Street. As with other Minto developments Point3D created the 3D Matterport Tours that power Minto’s sales team to show model homes online. We are ecstatic with the latest release from the Ottawa homebuilder and can’t wait to show you their latest model home virtual tours.
Mahogany boasts an abundance of walkability features such as scenic green space, interwoven walking and biking pathways, the Mahogany Pond, and in the near-future, a neighbourhood school. In Mahogany, you are just steps away from charming Manotick Village, where you are met with to quaint shops, delicious dining options, scenic views, and family-friendly streetscapes.
Manotick, if you don’t know, is a quaint part of South Ottawa that runs along-side and around the Rideau River. The township was first settled in 1833 and one of its first entrepreneurs, Moss Kent Dickinson, constructed Watson’s Mill, Ottawa’s only still operating stone flour mill. In the old township of Manotick, you can still visit Dickinson House where the Dickinson family lived.
Being just south of Ottawa, you are still within very easy access to transit in or big box store shopping in Barrhaven. Plus many of the dog parks, walking trails, and family restaurants that are most sought out between the two are in Manotick already. The area is still very quiet with a lot of farmland especially further south. While the community will be establishing a new school soon, both the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board and Ottawa Catholic School Board already have elementary and secondary schools here.
For a quiet community that strikes the balance between amenity and nature, Mahogany can be called Home. How can you trust us? For one, Both founders of the Company grew up just North of Manotick in Barrhaven and have several pals that still live in Manotick today. The area is less more easygoing and has not been built up like other areas of Nepean until just recently with Barrhaven still expanding towards it.
Home To The 2021 CHEO Dream of a Lifetime Grand Prize!
As community members actively engaging and contributing to making the world a better place, Point3D has provided several ” Random Scans Of Kindness” in the township of Manotick. This involves donating our 3D Matterport services to community organizations and Not-For-Profit groups. We’ve already shared how we allowed both the Dickinson House and Watson’s Mill to welcome online visitors near and far. One of the other contributions we are really proud of is the donation of a 3D Virtual Tour for the CHEO Dream of a Lifetime Lottery 2022. This lottery benefits the kids at CHEO by providing critical care and facility infrastructure. We invite you to take the virtual tour below if you haven’t seen the Grand Prize Minto Dream Home already.

]]>At Point3D, we’re creating large Matterport scans at scale.
Since our beginnings, we at Point3D have been avid enthusiasts and proponents of everything 3D. The platform we trust the most for 3D Virtual Tours has always been Matterport. There just isn’t anything like it available on the marketplace and with the latest generation Matterport Pro2 camera (which we’ve named ours Matty), offers stunning 3D visuals with high-quality 36-degree views and is easily shared to any device with an internet connection. It’s not just single-family homes we’re scanning either. We’re pushing the envelope with Matterport scanning to create immersive 3D experiences for all sorts of creating and unique applications.
When scanning more complex or larger spaces with Matterport, our technicians use refined survey and laser scanning methodology to properly capture a space. While a single-family home may only take an hour with under 100 scans, some commercial and industrial real estate take days to scan with Matterport using over 1000 setups.
The biggest mistake new Matterport operators make is not introducing trusted survey methods into their workflow to make it easy for Matterport’s scan registration automation. A haphazard or “misaligned” scan will not impress their clients. Without proper scanning methodology, a square space can skew to one side inaccurately or be missing data.
We have experience with large Matterport scans in Canada and in the United States. We can scan using Matterport in complex and outdoor areas, and up to hundreds of thousands of square feet. Our team enjoys the challenge of scanning large open warehouses for space planning, entire buildings for commercial real estate transactions, and outdoor spaces for art/culture purposes.
Typically spaces over 20,000 sq. ft. are a challenge even for experienced Matterport Service Providers. With the right expertise and the right equipment, large Matterport scans can be planned and 3D Tours created easily.
One way we make otherwise difficult Matteport scanning possible is by using the Leica BLK360 (a.k.a. Bella) to scan and integrates true LiDAR data into the Matterport 3D Tour. The BLK360 allows scan data to return further than with the Matterport Pro2 camera and for larger spaces to be properly captured.
Our Largest Matterport Scans
We’re proud to show some of the spectacular spaces we’ve had the opprtunity to visit and capture with Matterport 3D cameras. The platform has allowed us to share thousands of unique places with others online and in 3D. Over time, we’ve excelled in championing Matterport scanning and have since captured several large Matterport scans in Canada.
Large Matterport Scan For Space Planning
Ottawa, Ontario
With this warehouse operator looking for more efficiencies in racking layout, our 3D Matterport tours helped designers in the United States with visualizing their Canadian locations in 3D. These visuals helped clarify as-found conditions and allow assisted with maximizing merchandise space without sacrificing useability and safety.
Large Matterport Scan For Commercial Real Estate
Toronto, Ontario
Selling commercial real estate worth hundreds of millions of dollars as part of portfolio sales has certain requirements from the selling agent. To best list these two buildings in Toronto, CBRE Toronto Downtown added our Matterport 3D Tours as part of their selling presentation. We conducted Matterport scans of several floors of each building to show potential investors outside of the country the typical building condition. This assures both buyers and sellers had true visual references for due diligence and ultimately assisted to the sale of the two buildings in Toronto.
Large Matterport Scans For Industrial Real Estate
Markham, Ontario
We were called to create a 3D Matterport virtual tour of an industrial warehouse in Markham after the client’s in-house team was unable to properly capture the 152,000 sq. ft. building. With our equipment and expertise in 3D Laser Scanning, a large Matterport scan was no issue for the team. This was created in three days.
We are Matterport 3D Experts
Our team has captured large Matterport scans in Canada with a comprehensive understanding of 3D virtual tour technology. Trust the very best and most experienced Matterport Service Providers when a large Matterport scan is needed. Point3D services Ottawa, Toronto, or Montreal with large Matterport 3D Virtual Tours.
