Interactive 360° Virtual Tours vs Passive 360° Video: Complete Immersive Tech Comparison
A comprehensive technical and marketing comparison of interactive 3D spatial models versus passive 360-degree video formats.
Core Difference Between Interactive 360 Tours and Passive 360 Video
Though frequently confused, these two technologies offer fundamentally different buyer experiences. Passive 360 video is a linear recording where viewers rotate camera angles around a moving axis.
Interactive 360 virtual tours (Matterport) build a true 3D spatial mesh. Buyers navigate freely node-to-node, measure wall lengths, and inspect Dollhouse cutaways.

Compare key feature metrics across both media formats:
| Feature Metric | Interactive 360 Tour (Matterport) | Passive 360 Video Stream |
