A walkthrough of your rental, from the photos you already have

Why hosts use it

• A walkthrough shows how the rooms connect. A photo grid can't.
• It works from the photos you already paid a photographer for. There is nothing to shoot between guests.
• Make a new one when the furniture or the season changes. Each takes about 10 minutes.
• A Short is $7.

How it works

• Add 5 to 60 photos of the rental from your phone.
• It sorts the rooms and finds the photos that show the same space from two spots. Those pairs are what make a camera move possible.
• It plans the route in walking order: the entry, living room, kitchen, bedroom, outside, the view. You can swap or remove any scene before you make the video.
• Each scene is rendered, then checked against your photos. A scene that drifts from the real room is rendered again, and left out if it still fails.

What it is and what it isn't

• It is up to eight camera moves through the real rooms, joined with short fades. A Short is 4 scenes and about 15 seconds. A Full tour is up to 8 scenes and about 30 seconds.
• It is not one continuous take through the whole home. Nothing can do that from ordinary photos yet.
• The video is vertical, so it shows about the middle third of each wide photo. Rooms shot from two angles give the best moves.
• It was built and tested on professional listing photos: wide, level and sharp. Phone snapshots have had less testing.
