Gaussian splatting
The 3D technique behind the tours. Instead of flat polygons, the scene is made of millions of tiny translucent points of color. It captures real light and texture far better than a traditional 3D model.
How it works
A tour is rebuilt from what your camera actually recorded. Here is every step between pressing upload and sharing the link.
How to record a homeAfter you upload
You get an email when the tour is ready, or when a room needs another pass.
A video holds thousands of frames. Blurry and near-duplicate ones are set aside so the build works from clear views of every surface.
Matching details across frames reveals exactly where the camera stood and which way it faced for each one. This is the skeleton the rest of the tour hangs on.
A graphics processor fits millions of small, soft points of color until the scene matches every frame from every camera position. The result is a continuous 3D copy of the home.
Stray specks floating in mid-air are removed, the scene is levelled so floors are flat, and the file is compressed to a size a phone can stream.
A share of frames never enters the build. The finished scene is rendered from those exact positions and compared with the real frames, side by side. Rooms that miss the bar are sent back for a reshoot instead of being published.
Floors and walls are traced so visitors walk at eye height and stay inside the rooms. Rooms are labelled for the room list and floor plan.
The tour goes on a fast content network and gets its link, its embed code, and an unbranded version for listings that need one.
In plain words
The 3D technique behind the tours. Instead of flat polygons, the scene is made of millions of tiny translucent points of color. It captures real light and texture far better than a traditional 3D model.
Where the camera was, and which way it pointed, for every frame. Getting this right is what makes walls line up and rooms connect.
Real frames kept out of the build and used only to test it. If the tour matches frames it has never seen, it matches the home.
Where AI fits
AI reviews each tour against the held-back frames and flags warped walls, blur, or missing objects. It names rooms, drafts the floor plan labels, and tells you which room to reshoot and why.
It does not invent parts of the home. When a tour is made from a single 360° still per room, areas the camera never saw are filled in and those tours are labelled so viewers know. Tours from a video walkthrough don't need that label.
Ready when you are
Set up your tour, check your footage against the guide, and have it ready for the day processing opens.
