WGAN-TV | Multimedia Case Study: Visit Hampton, Virginia 3D Digital Twin Tour (www.HamptonTour.com)

Hi All,

-- How Was this 3D Tour Created? www.HamptonTour.com
-- How did this multimedia digital twin project come about?
-- How is the tour client being used by the client: Hampton Convention & Visitor Bureau?


Stay-tuned...

On WGAN-TV Live at 5 (5 pm ET) on Thursday, 8 August 2024, my guests are:

1. Home3D.us 3D/360º Virtual Tour Creation and Consultant Kevin Dole (@Home3D);
2. Home3D.us 3D/360º Virtual Tour and Aerial Content Creator Eric Dole; and
3. Hampton Convention & Visitor Bureau Director Mary Fugere

After a demo of this multimedia 3D digital twin Tour (www.HamptonTour.com), here sre some of the questions that I anticipate asking these questions.

Questions

For Mary ...

✓ How is the Hampton Convention & Visitor Bureau using www.HamptonTour.com?
✓ How else is the Hampton Convention & Visitor Bureau using www.HamptonTour.com?
✓ What was the primary use case(s) that inspired you to seek-out a tour like this?
✓ How will Hampton Convention & Visitor Bureau measure results of www.HamptonTour.com?
✓ How did this multimedia digital twin project come about?

✓ What was the RFP process for Hampton Convention & Visitor Bureau to source a vendor for this project?
✓ Can you explain the competitive bid process for this project?
✓ How close was Home3D.us delivering your vision with www.HamptonTour.com?

For Kevin ...

✓ How did you learn about the Request For Proposal (RFP)?
✓ What was the process for responding to the RFP?
✓ With so many variables, what was your budgeting process?
✓ Were there change orders involved in the creation of this tour?
✓ What challenges did the team run into and how were they solved?
✓ What was the timeline for the creation of this project?

For Kevin and Eric ...

✓ What tools were used to create this tour?

-- Including a discussion of .glb and .gltf
-- Can you speak to aerial, photogrammetry and Metashape?
-- Can you speak to 3DVista's feature for creating "sequences" and how this was used in the tour?
-- How/where is this tour hosted (and why)?

✓ Who created what in this tour?

Eric ...

✓ How were the fly-through videos created?
✓ How was the 3D map created?

For Kevin ...

✓ Kevin, you did a post in the We Get Around Network Forum titled: Matterport, 3DVista and a hammer
Please explain what you meant by hammer saying: "To a man with a hammer, everything looks like a nail."

✓ Your thoughts about Matterport versus 3DVista or Matterport plus 3DVista?
✓ How can a Matterport Service Provider collaborate with Home3D.us on projects like this in their market?
✓ What else should we talk about: www.HamptonTour.com

Questions from WGAN Forum Member @JamesG

✓ Did you keep track of how many hours was spent creating this project and where those hours were spent? (ie. 3D scanning, shooting aerial photos/video, photo editing, meeting/planning with Hampton Convention & Visitor Bureau, etc.)
✓ How does this tour do on VR platforms? What are your general thoughts on the future of virtual tours in regards to VR?
✓ Any tips, advice, or strategies you would care to share regarding the selling/marketing of these types of virtual tours?

Question from @Ron0987

✓ How did they balance content sized 3D models and video so as not to have any issues on 3DVista band width. What size 3D model and setting in 3DVista to achieve this good resolution on the final product and any tips they can pass on. Would they be willing to share final file size of the completed model?

What other questions should I ask my guests on this WGAN-TV Live at 5 show?

Best,

Dan

P.S. Kevin Dole (@Home3D) writes:

www.HamptonTour.com is a large virtual tour for the Hampton Visitor Bureau in Virginia.

The city's goal was to present their Coliseum, Convention Center and Aquaplex in addition to several adjacent parcels of land available for developers, about 180 acres / 72 hectares. Hampton issued an RFP and we were awarded the project which Hampton now is using.

Our client specifically wanted interiors captured in Matterport in order to provide its 'dollhouse' view of spaces as well as comprehensive measurements.

The completed project incorporates about 30 Matterport models, nearly 200 panos, 11 aerial panos, a dozen 360 video nodes, four FPV fly-through videos and links to various hotels and other venues nearby the complex. The completed tour is centered on a 3D model of the entire site using 3DVista's dramatic 3D capabilities.

Hats off to @Home3D and his team for creating this exquisite virtual tour!

And great questions Dan! I'm really looking forward to this interview.

Some additional questions that came to mind:

1) Did you keep track of how many hours was spent creating this project and where those hours were spent? (ie. 3D scanning, shooting aerial photos/video, photo editing, meeting/planning with Hampton Visitor Bureau, etc.)

2) How does this tour do on VR platforms? What are your general thoughts on the future of virtual tours in regards to VR?

3) Any tips, advice, or strategies you would care to share regarding the selling/marketing of these types of virtual tours?
