Fairfields Heritage House

Documenting Heritage Portfolios Thoroughly

One of the City of Ottawa’s latest heritage building acquisitions, Fairfields House in the Bayshore area required documentation of the building’s as-built conditions. At the same time, we created an immersive digital experience for public engagement and event planning purposes. The 3D Tour is currently used for both internal and external city communications.

Uploading the scan to Google Street View, the museum’s Google My Business was populated with a tour on on the Google Maps platform as well.

Matterport 3D Tour

Using the Matterport Pro2, the immersive 3D virtual tour of shows the existing conditions of the heritage building as-is. Used online and through email correspondence with city stakeholders, visitors have the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the space before visiting in-person.

Google Street View

The scan was uploaded to the Google Maps platform as a Google Street View Trusted tour. These 360 images are prioritized by Google and compliments Fairfield House's Google My Business profile.

4K And Panoramic Images

We produced 4k images for the heritage building, giving them high-quality content of their space in its' as-is condition.

Watson's Mill

Making Dangerous Areas Accessible For All

Showing the still-functioning aspects of Manotick’s flour mill was the main focus of our scan at this Ottawa heritage site. We created a immersive digital experience that allowed areas not normally accessible to the public, available to explore. This includes upper mechanical rooms of the flour mill and its’ cordoned-off water pump area.

The 3D Tour is served online on the museum’s website and in-person on a computer, allowing those with mobility issues the freedom of virtually-visiting upper and lower floors.

Matterport 3D Tour

Using the Matterport Pro2, we scanned the entirety of Watson's Mill. This included areas normally inaccessible to the public, and waist-deep in water from the Ottawa River.

Google Street View

The scan was uploaded to the Google Maps platform as a Google Street View Trusted tour. These 360 images are prioritized by Google and compliments the Watson's Mill Google My Business profile.

4K And Panoramic Images

We produced 4k images and 360 photos of the flour mill, providing them with high-quality content of their space to share online and in future printed materials.

On-Site Delivery

We consulted with the organization to come up with a feasible solution to on-site delivery of the 3D Tour. With costs and intermittent internet being the main issue drivers, we assisted with the procurement of a suitable computer station and wired internet connection to deliver the 3D Tour for accessibility of upper and lower areas on-site.

Ocean Plastics Lab

Extending Campaign Lifecycle And Reach

We created an immersive digital experience for the global Ocean health awareness project led by Dr. Julia Schnetzer that visited Ottawa at the end of its six country tour.

The Ocean Plastics Lab was originally funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research, the German Marine Life Consortium, and the European Commission.

The exhibit Matterport 3D Tour features four seacans packed with multimedia information and is now a key digital asset used in securing additional government funding.

Matterport 3D Tour

Normally, an exterior Matterport 3D Tour is not possible. However, under certain conditions and our expertise scanning with the Matterport Pro2 camera, we were able to make it happen. We scanned the entirety of the science exhibit, set up just outside of the Nature Museum in downtown Ottawa. The resulting 3D Tour is an excellent digital resource for the initiative, allowing those who could not see it in-person the ability to still learn about plastics and ocean health.

3D Walkthrough Video

Using our extensive knowledge of the Matterport 3D Tour platform, we screencaptured a walkthrough of us traversing through the digital space. The resulting video was used to show project stakeholders the setup and to help promote funding for future tour stops.

4K And Panoramic Images

We produced high-quality images of the space for promotional purposes. We also delivered panoramic images that were posted to Facebook natively, allowing users to look around a 360 photo right on their browser or Facebook App.

Bytown Museum

Allowing the oldest stone building (1827) in Ottawa to be completely accessible to both a wider audience online and on-site to the mobility-challenged.

A Feasible Accessibility Solution

At the request of the Bytown Museum, we embarked on a mission to bring accessibility and digital exploration of Ottawa’s oldest stone building and its story to a wider audience. Their primary focus was to bridge the gap for individuals with physical disabilities, offering them access to the museum’s third floor from the second.

The 3D Matterport virtual tour is a gateway for anyone, anywhere to step inside the museum and immerse themselves in its rich history. Today, the museum leverages our service to preserve its exhibits in immersive 3D virtual tours, ensuring these invaluable artefacts are accessible for education even in storage.

In addition, these tours serve as a powerful tool for promoting their rental spaces.

Immersive 3D Digital Experience

We crafted an inclusive 3D digital experience, making the Bytown Museum accessible to all, including those with physical disabilities.

3D Walkthrough Video

We transformed our 3D tour into an inviting social media video, enticing users to explore the virtual tour or visit the museum in person.

On-Site Delivery Peripheral Consult

We made the museum’s third floor accessible to those with physical disabilities, installing a computer system on the second floor, providing a unique opportunity for accessibility and exploration.

Google Street View

We uploaded a Google Street View tour as a Google Trusted Photographer, enabling users to explore the museum on Google Maps.

4K and Panoramic Photography

We transformed 3D tour photos into valuable visual assets for the museum, featuring high-quality images of artefacts, rooms, and VR-ready 360-degree photos.
