FAQ
For whom are the Urbanimmersive solutions and services?
While the Urbanimmersive solutions and Marketplace of real estate photographer network is open to all entrepreneurs, it is primarily designed for existing real estate photography businesses looking to increase their margins, competitiveness, and market reach. We are actively seeking photographers who share our vision that every listing should have a 3D tour and a floor plan. By joining the Urbanimmersive network, these businesses can not only benefit from our technology, support, and established brand presence but also align themselves with a community of like-minded professionals dedicated to delivering immersive experiences in the real estate industry.

How can I start creating Immersive 3D tours?
To start creating 3D tours, you must first sign up on the urbanimmersive. The sign-up process involves creating a photographer profile and getting your profile approved. Once your profile is approved, you need to download the UiCapture App (available on iOS or Android) and use your profile credentials to access and utilize the app.

How long are 3D Pocket Website, Single Property Websites, Immersive 3D Tours and medias are hosted?
Media content remains active (hosted) for a continuous period of 12 months. Once this duration elapses, clients have the option to extend their website's activity on the web by purchasing a new single property website.
What is the difference between Urbanimmersive's standard 3D tour and 3D tour in video resolution?
Our scanning App (Ui Capture) allows you to create two types of 3D tours. The first option utilizes HDR 360 photos to produce the 3D tour, while the second option involves creating a 3D tour from a video recording. Both options provide the same floor plan quality.
The advantage of the latter method (from video recording) is faster scanning, although it does result in a 3D tour with lower image resolution. This option is ideal for clients who prioritize the floor plan and view 3D tours primarily as a reference.
How can I start creating 2D+ Floor Plan?
If your client is only interested in a floor plan and doesn't really care about the 3D tour, we recommend using the 2D+ Floor Plan option with the UiCapture App to expedite your scanning process. Upload the floor plan images and disregard the default 3D tour delivery with. When only looking for a floor plan, you don't need to download the 3D tour or purchase a single property website if you intend to use Urbanimmersive's hosting services.
Start a 2D Floor Plan
Is there a size limit for floor plans, or can they be larger than 25,000 sqft?
Urbanimmersive's floor plans are not limited to 25,000 sqft. Many of our members scan large environments, such as schools spanning over 350,000 sqft, and are able to provide highly accurate floor plans. However, it is recommended to use the standard 3D tour for scanning large environments, as the video recording 3D tours can generate very large files that can be difficult to handle.
