VR Walkthrough vs Matterport Tour
These experiences can look similar from a distance, but they serve different purposes. A VR walkthrough is often created around a proposed design. Matterport typically captures a space that already exists.
Quick Take
Use VR walkthroughs when you need people to understand a proposed space. Use Matterport when you need a true record of an existing one.
The best choice depends less on trend language and more on what the project needs right now: speed, immersion, technical clarity, in-person experience, or a stronger digital presentation.
