🌟 3D Marketing Platform

💡 Inspiration

The 3D Marketing Platform was inspired by the need to revolutionize how businesses showcase their multiple locations and properties. Traditional marketing methods often fail to capture the true essence of physical spaces. By leveraging Google Maps Platform's Photorealistic 3D Tiles, we aimed to create an immersive experience that allows businesses to showcase their locations in a way that's both engaging and informative.

🚀 What it Does

The platform enables businesses to:

  • 🌍 Create interactive 3D marketing campaigns for multiple locations.
  • 🏙️ Showcase properties with photorealistic 3D views and automated tours.
  • 🖼️ Add detailed information about each location, including images, amenities, and business details.
  • 🔗 Share campaigns via unique URLs for easy access.
  • 🏢 Support multiple business categories (Hotels, Real Estate, Banking, Retail, Restaurants).
  • 🎥 Provide smooth camera transitions and auto-orbit features for immersive viewing.
  • 🪟 Offer collapsible property information overlays for a clean interface.
