Drone videos, Panoramas & 3D Mapping
At 3D Walkabout we utilise drones to capture 3D imagery for virtual tours, map areas in 3D using photogrammetry and to capture 2D and 360 video for VR experiences & applications.
Drone Capture
Drones have revolutionised the way we capture aerial imagery, and at 3D Walkabout we find they are particularly valuable for capturing 360 aerial panoramas for virtual tours, 3D mapping sites and buildings using photogrammetry, and capturing 2D & 360 video content for virtual reality (VR) experiences. With their maneuverability and high-resolution cameras, drones can effortlessly capture stunning 360-degree views from any desired altitude and angle. This enables businesses to showcase their locations in an immersive and visually captivating manner. 360 panoramic tours provide potential customers with a realistic sense of the surroundings, allowing them to explore the space virtually. This technology can greatly enhance communication and marketing efforts by providing an interactive and engaging experience that effectively promotes and highlights a business’s unique offerings.

How are drones currently being used by businesses in Australia?
Drones have gained significant popularity among Australian businesses due to their versatility and numerous applications. In various industries, drones are being utilised to streamline operations, enhance efficiency, and improve safety standards.
One prominent sector that extensively employs drones is agriculture. Australian farmers are leveraging drone technology to monitor crops, assess irrigation needs, and identify potential issues such as pest infestations or diseases. Drones equipped with multispectral cameras can capture detailed images of crops, allowing farmers to make informed decisions and optimize their yield. Additionally, drones aid in mapping terrain, measuring land and water resources, and even spraying fertilizers or pesticides precisely, reducing costs and minimizing environmental impact.
Another area where drones have made a significant impact is infrastructure inspection. Companies involved in construction, engineering, and infrastructure maintenance employ drones to conduct aerial surveys, monitor construction progress, and inspect hard-to-reach structures such as bridges and towers. By utilising drones, businesses can avoid the need for costly and time-consuming manual inspections, ensuring the safety and integrity of critical infrastructure.
In the real estate industry, drones are transforming the way properties are marketed. Real estate agents utilise drones to capture stunning aerial footage and 360-degree panoramas of properties, providing potential buyers with a comprehensive view of the surroundings. This immersive experience enhances the marketing potential of properties, attracting more interest and enabling remote buyers to make informed decisions.
Drones have found applications in the delivery and logistics sector. Companies like Wing, a subsidiary of Alphabet Inc., have successfully implemented drone delivery services in select Australian regions. These drones provide efficient and quick delivery of small packages, particularly in remote or difficult-to-access areas.
