Stitching video textures into 3D virtual tours involves the process of integrating video content onto 3D models to create immersive experiences. The use of 3D point clouds, geometry and panoramic videos in virtual tours allows for a more realistic and compelling presentation of properties, products, or environments, enhancing the overall user experience, and conveying a more visceral sense of “being there” while navigating in 3D Tour. This represents a groundbreaking advancement, unmatched by any current virtual tour technology available.

POLYTRON Suite of LIVE 3D™ Software (POLYTRON ONE & POLYTRON LIVE 3D Servers) and Services is enabling conventional web-based virtual tour with interactive real-time scene, making you feel like you’re standing right where you took them without physically being there. Immersive, Spatial, 3D, Real-Time, and Interactive.

⁠

With the Polytron LIVE 3D™ Camera, the era of limiting virtual tours to pre-scanned, static 2D imagery is over. We present to you a dynamic canvas of the world as it unfolds, enabling you to immerse yourself and navigate in real-time within an accurately modeled 3D environment.

⁠

Our groundbreaking technology intricately stitches live video feeds directly onto the surfaces of a geometrically precise 3D mesh model, transforming them into video textures that animate the scene with real-world dynamics. This innovation isn't merely a new lens through which to view the world — it's a completely new way to experience and interact with it. Step into the vanguard of virtual exploration with us, where each tour becomes a LIVE, interactive event, and every moment unfolds a fresh discovery, brought to life within the spatial fidelity of a meticulously crafted 3D scene.
