Our Biggest Update Ever! Announcing Metareal Stage v.2.0




Our biggest update ever!



Since 2018, Metareal has been obsessively focused on advancing and simplifying 3D digital twin and virtual tour creation and sharing for customers the world over. With this v.2.0 release, we've introduced a revamped user interface and hundreds of new improvements.


NEW DARK THEME!



A fast, new Material Design user interface, with an all-new dark theme for the editor tools that improves contrast and helps reduce eye-strain.





Read on to learn why everyone loves Metareal…





Because Metareal Stage does 3D reconstruction directly from panoramas, avoiding expensive and laborious scanning, around half to one-third of the scan points are needed compared to other platforms, cutting your shoot time in half or more.




You asked and we listened! Now available with 24h processing options for most projects. In many cases, if you submit the processing job early in the day, your tour will be delivered by the next working day.




With our new unlimited storage plans with discounted annual options, instead of paying up front for all the hosting and processing you might use in the year, you can scale up and down your subscription immediately according to your hosting needs, and only pay for the processing you actually use when you use it.




Using Metareal Stage v2, it’s now possible to create 3D tours using aerial panoramas - and even link them to interior spaces! Watch our for our new tutorials coming in the next few weeks describing the best practices for shooting and created 3D virtual tours that include drone imagery.




Leveraging Google’s Material Design user-interface toolkit, we’ve updated the entire Metareal Stage editor interface, improving speed and user experience across the board. Check out the new Dark Theme option for better contrast and reduced eye-strain.




Rolling out incrementally to Premium and Enterprise users over the next few weeks, the radical new Variants functionality lets users create multiple variations of a location in a single tour, allowing side-by-side comparisons and progress reports in a Metareal Stage project! Contact us via the in-app chatbox if you’d like early access.




Easily add rich audio, video and interactive web elements to your digital replicas and virtual tours via the Labels 2.0 toolset to turn your tours into complete interactive experiences ideal for education, sales, and training applications.




In addition to the standard interactive floorplans included with every virtual tour and digital replica, you can also order a high-quality, fully drafted vector PDF floorplan when you submit your project for processing.




If you want to customize the experience, or you want to integrate Metareal Stage into your web or mobile application or enterprise infrastructure, look no further! With a full suite of SDKs for web, app and VR integration, Metareal offers complete flexibility for seamless integrations with 3rd party platforms.




Watch as Gareth takes Dan Smigrod of WGAN-TV through the highlights of the Metareal Stage v.2.0 feature set.









Happy tour building!
Gareth and the Metareal Team :-)
