Virtual Homey: 7 Years Strong

We celebrated 7 years at DoubleTree Hilton Downtown Pittsburgh by capturing their new Ballroom and social. They jumped for joy on opening day, April 4, 2025.

As luck would have it, 7 years ago we kicked off VH in Pittsburgh’s Three Rivers Casino at an architecture conference for the Builder’s Association of Metropolitan Pittsburgh (BAMP). Today, we celebrate with our new site, our new logo and our returning friends at DoubleTree Hilton Downtown Pittsburgh who brought us back to capture their brand new event space. It has been a journey through tough start-up days, celebrated success stories, travel, hard work, and love and support from friends, family and clients.

At BAMP in April of 2018, we hit the jackpot by opening to the architects.

Nestle Purina factory in Dunkirk, NY. Our largest digital twin capture to date.

To date we have captured over 1,000 Matterport digital twins, 1,100+ 360° immersive experiences with our mirrorless, over 400 restaurants for their online presence, countless apartments, houses, commercial and retail spaces. Our largest Digital Twin was a 2 person, 3 day capture in Dunkirk, New York of a massive 450,000+ square foot Purina factory in 2024. Our largest 360° shoot was for Valley of the Temples Memorial Park in O’ahu, Haiwai’i with 111 locations accomplished in only 2 days in 2023. All of the restaurants have been delicious!

We couldn’t have done it without the returning support from our client base. It’s been an awesome 7 years! Here’s to a bright future.
