Creating Interactive Elements in Your Virtual Tours
Virtual tours have evolved beyond static 360-degree views. Today, interactive elements are key to capturing attention and creating engaging experiences that leave a lasting impression. This blog post explores how to add interactive elements to your virtual tours, transforming them from passive walkthroughs into dynamic explorations.
Mattertags: The Foundation of Interactivity
Mattertags are a fundamental feature of Matterport virtual tours, allowing you to add interactive elements directly within the 3D space. These tags can be customized with various features:
- Information Points: Provide detailed descriptions, highlight key features, or share interesting facts about specific areas within the tour.
- Images and Videos: Embed photos or videos to showcase products, highlight testimonials, or provide additional context.
- Links: Link to external websites, product pages, or contact forms to drive conversions and encourage further engagement.
- Audio Files: Add sound effects, music, or narration to enhance the immersive experience.
Using Mattertags Effectively
- Strategic Placement: Place Mattertags in relevant locations within the tour to provide context and enhance the viewer’s understanding.
- Concise Content: Keep the text within Mattertags concise and engaging.
- Visual Appeal: Use high-quality images and videos that complement the virtual tour.
- Call to Action: Include clear calls to action, such as “Learn More,” “Contact Us,” or “Book Now.”
Beyond Mattertags: Exploring Other Interactive Elements
While Mattertags are a powerful tool, other interactive elements can further enhance your virtual tours:
- Embedded Videos: Embed videos directly within the tour to showcase product demos, testimonials, or behind-the-scenes footage.
- 360-Degree Panoramas: Integrate 360-degree panoramas to provide a wider field of view and showcase specific areas in greater detail.
- Floor Plans: Include interactive floor plans that allow viewers to navigate the space and understand its layout.

- Virtual Staging: For real estate virtual tours, virtual staging allows viewers to visualize the space furnished and decorated.
Choosing the Right Interactive Elements
The best interactive elements for your virtual tour will depend on your specific goals and the type of space you’re showcasing. Consider your target audience and what information or experiences would be most valuable and engaging for them.
