Spatial Capture

Photoreal 3D of your space — in any browser tab.

We film your shop, showroom, property or venue, and turn it into a smooth, photoreal 3D scene a customer can fly through from their phone. No app. No headset. No download. Built on PlayCanvas and 3D Gaussian Splatting — the technology that just made walk-through 3D usable.

From £295 per scene

Delivery in 5–10 working days

Runs in every modern browser

UK-hosted UK GDPR-aligned

Versus traditional 3D

5–10%

Of the cost of a conventional architectural render or full Matterport tour — and far closer to a real photograph. Days, not weeks.

Time to live

5–10 days

From walk-through to a live, shareable URL. The capture itself takes 20–60 minutes on site. The rest is our processing pipeline.

Browser size

<30 MB

Target scene weight for a typical interior. Loads on a mid-range phone over 4G. No "install our app" friction.

What it actually is

A short video walk-through, turned into a photoreal 3D scene a customer can fly through.

We arrive on site with an iPhone, walk the space at a steady pace for 5–20 minutes, and leave. From that one capture we produce a continuous, photo-quality 3D scene that runs natively in the browser — no app store, no headset, no plug-in. Customers click a link, drag with one finger, and they're inside your space.

The underlying technology is 3D Gaussian Splatting — a 2023 breakthrough that became production-ready in 2026 when PlayCanvas shipped the SOG format. It's why a scene that used to take a £15,000 architectural visualiser two weeks now takes us one site visit and five days.

Four packaged scene types

Pick the shape that fits your space.

Most spaces fall into one of four patterns. Each comes with a fixed scope, a fixed price, and a worked-out capture method — so you know what you're buying before the camera comes out.

Best for property

Property Walk

Full interior plus key exterior shots of a residential or commercial property — captured at a single visit, delivered as one continuous fly-through.

Estate agents — listings that beat photo galleries
Holiday lets and short-term rentals
Property maintenance & refurb before/after

£495per scene · £29/mo hosting

Best for retail & trade

Showroom

A retail or trade showroom captured in 3D, with optional clickable hotspots that link to product pages, brochures, or "enquire" forms.

Stove and fireplace showrooms (Bourne Fireplaces)
Car dealers — forecourt and indoor (NP Autos, Windmill)

Vehicles for forecourt listings
Plant, equipment, machinery hire
Sculpture, art, jewellery, bespoke joinery

£295per scene · £29/mo hosting

Best for hospitality

Venue + Layout

An event or hospitality venue with an overlay tool — drag virtual tables, stages, dance-floors and seating into place to show a client exactly how their booking will look.

£495per scene · layout tool included

How it compares

Not a Matterport tour. Not a photo gallery. Not an architectural render.

The three things people compare Spatial Capture to are all different products. Here's how they actually stack up.

	Photo gallery	Matterport tour	3D architectural render	Spatial Capture
Movement	None	Point-to-point teleport	Pre-baked fly-through	Continuous free movement
Looks photoreal?	Yes	Yes (but stitched)	Polished, but clearly CGI	Yes — it is the photograph
Capture time on site	1–2 hours	3–6 hours	No site capture — full survey	20–60 minutes
Time to delivery	1–3 days	3–7 days	2–6 weeks	5–10 working days
Customer needs to install	Nothing	Nothing (browser)	Nothing (image / video)	Nothing (browser)
Typical UK cost	£150–£500	£600–£2,000+	£3,000–£15,000	£295–£495 per scene

Typical UK cost figures based on Matterport reseller pricing in the East Midlands as of May 2026 and standard architectural visualisation rates. Spatial Capture replaces none of these formats outright — it sits alongside them and wins where movement and photoreal feel both matter.

How it works

From phone call to live scene — five steps.

Most spaces are captured in a single visit and live online inside two working weeks. No reshoots if our pre-visit checklist is met. No surprise add-ons in the invoice.

Brief & quote

15-minute call to pick the scene type, agree the space, lock the fixed price. Quote out the same day.

Pre-visit prep

Capture checklist sent (lighting, clutter, privacy considerations). You confirm the site is ready.

On-site capture

One visit, 20–60 minutes depending on scene type. We bring the kit. You don't need to close.

Process & clean

Our pipeline turns the capture into a SOG-format 3D scene, <30 MB. Privacy redactions applied if requested.

Hand-over

Live URL + embed snippet + a short loom showing how to use it. Sources kept on file for re-export.

UK-first by design

Built on UK rules — not retrofitted.

We capture people's spaces. That carries privacy obligations and the same care we apply to every Launchpad engagement — 72+ years of combined experience across NHS, Police and MOD, including SC-cleared personnel.

Why this is the year

3D Gaussian Splatting just crossed the commercial line.

The underlying technology — 3D Gaussian Splatting — was a research curiosity in late 2023, a tinkerer’s side project in 2024, and a credible production format from PlayCanvas in 2025. In May 2026 it crossed into volume commercial use. The first operators in each vertical to adopt it are already pulling in business that traditional photo galleries can’t.

Real estate signal · May 2026

“This is the endgame for real estate listings. The first agents to make listings explorable are going to stand out.”

Practitioners testing 3DGS embeds against traditional photo galleries are reporting longer dwell times, deeper engagement, and explicit comparison advantage in markets where neighbours are still using static photos.

Source: industry practitioner commentary, May 2026. Reproduced here as positioning signal — your own results will vary by property and market.

Operator signal · May 2026

“$8,200 in deals from one viral post — hotels, realtors, museum directors DMing directly.”

Independent 3DGS operator pricing in the US sits at $300–800 per scan for realtors, Airbnbs, venues and museums. That’s an unambiguous validation of pricing in the £295–£495 range we use in the UK — with our SC-cleared lead and UK-hosted infrastructure on top.

Source: independent US operator self-report, May 2026. We’re a UK-based service — your viral moment is hopefully more measured.

We’re tracking these signals because they tell you what the rest of the market will look like in 6–12 months. The window where 3D-capable listings stand out from photo-only competitors is open today. It will close as adoption spreads. Early operators in each vertical (estate agents, showrooms, wedding venues, museums) are the ones who benefit most.

Frequently asked

The questions we get on the first call.

If yours isn't here, the contact form gets to a human inside one working day.

Do customers need to install anything?

No. The scene runs in any modern browser — Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Edge — on iOS, Android, Mac and Windows. No app store, no headset, no plug-in. You share a URL or embed it on your site, the customer clicks, the scene loads.

How big is the file? Will it kill my customer's data plan?

We target under 30 MB for a typical interior scene — about the size of three high-quality photos. Larger venues run to 50 MB and we ship a lighter fallback for slow connections. Comparable Matterport tours are typically 80–150 MB.

What happens if there are people, number plates or sensitive items in shot?

Our default is to capture out of hours where possible. Where it isn't (a working showroom, a busy restaurant), faces and number plates can be blurred during the clean-up pass. Anything you flag as sensitive (paperwork, screens, security keypads) is redacted before publication.

Can it replace our existing photography?

No, and we wouldn't sell it that way. Still photos are still the right tool for the listing thumbnail, the Google Business profile, and the press release. Spatial Capture is the next click after the photo gallery — the "step inside" moment where a static photo runs out of road.

Do I own the files? What if I leave you?

You own the scene. We host it and keep the source PLY on file for 12 months so we can re-export to newer formats as the technology moves. If you ever leave, we hand over the published scene and the source files — no lock-in.

Will it work for outdoor spaces and large venues?

Yes for both, with caveats. Interiors and small exteriors (forecourts, gardens, courtyards) are the sweet spot. Large outdoor venues are possible but capture takes longer and the scene weight goes up. For sites over ~500 m² we'll quote on a per-site basis after a brief.

How is this different from Matterport?

Matterport is point-to-point: you click a dot, you teleport, you look around, you click the next dot. Spatial Capture is free movement — drag and fly through the space continuously, the way you'd walk it in real life. It also looks closer to a photograph because the underlying technology (3D Gaussian Splatting) preserves the original light and texture rather than reconstructing a mesh.

Matterport is mature and we're not knocking it. Spatial Capture is cheaper, faster, lighter on the customer's browser, and feels more immediate. The right answer depends on the space.

Can it integrate with our website? Our CRM?

The viewer is a single <iframe> embed — it drops into WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Shopify, a Cloudflare Pages site, or anything that can host an iframe. For hotspots, each one is a URL, so it links cleanly into a product page, a booking system, or a contact form. CRM hand-off (e.g. "submit enquiry from hotspot") is a small piece of extra work we quote separately.
