Go on a tour from the comfort of your armchair.
You want to find out what something looks like, where you’re going to sit, how you find your way in, does it look interesting…all simple questions which are difficult to answer by flicking through website or social media pages.
And what about if you have some sort of disability? Are there steps, is access tricky, could it be noisy or confusing and, if it’s an outside venue or event, would a visit really be sensible?
Imagine how good it would be to step inside a building and look around to see what’s on show at something like a demonstration or an exhibition. It allows you to make an informed decision.
Thankfully there is a way to answer these questions.
Take a virtual tour on your phone, tablet or desktop and see everything for yourself. It’s not like being there…you ARE there. No app to download, no headset to buy, just tap on your screen and you’re there.
And that’s precisely what Chris Wood and Paul Barker can do for you at Ocean 3D.
“We’ve a background in estate agency and discovered the benefits of allowing people to walk around properties…virtually…by taking a 3D tour,” said Chris. “It’s a simple and inexpensive idea which means you can judge everything for yourself rather than relying on the estate agent’s description. What Paul and I have done is take that idea onto the next level and use it for a whole range of businesses and attractions to allow people to judge for themselves.”
Uncertainty is something none of us like, but if you’ve already had a virtual tour, you know what to expect, all of which can help to reduce anxiety. You can plan ahead. This is particularly beneficial for people living with autism, PTSD, dementia, anxiety disorders, or other hidden and physical disabilities.
It’s easy to remember situations which you’ve been in and realised that a bit of early information would have been incredibly beneficial. So, if you have a business which could benefit from giving customers and clients a terrific view of what you do or what’s available, why not create an immersive digital experience and make customers feel comfortable with your location before they even arrive? There’s no need for a dedicated app. Simply copy and paste your locations tour straight into your website, newsletters, emails and SMS messages.
Ocean 3D’s services offer major advantages to companies across sectors including healthcare, transport, tourism, retail, education, hospitality, and property. Businesses can use the tours to showcase venues, improve customer confidence, support staff training, and enhance operational planning. For example, airports, train operators, hospitals, and tourist attractions can provide visitors with a realistic preview of entrances, waiting areas, facilities, and routes before arrival. This helps improve customer satisfaction and improve review scores whilst also reducing stress for both visitors and frontline staff.
“One of our biggest clients is Lumo Trains,” adds Paul. “Our 3D virtual tours show passengers what to expect when they board a train…they can zoom in on their actual seat. We’ve worked closely with other organisations including NHS hospitals, the National Trust, Spaceport, UNESCO World Heritage sites, RNLI, and international airports. We’ve also received recognition from organisations such as the National Autistic Society and the British Aviation Group for our innovative approach to accessibility and inclusion.
Ocean 3D virtual tours give customers an opportunity to spend more time exploring a business online, giving organisations a proven competitive edge. We provide clickable information points, floorplans, embedded videos, navigation, and integrated booking or e-commerce links, all of which make the experience highly interactive and commercially valuable.”
