In their own words
Asteroom
Asteroom creates smartphone-based 3D virtual tours for real estate agents and photographers, using an app, hardware and an online photo editor. Users can capture panoramas in the app or upload an album to generate a tour. Tours pair a 3D dollhouse with 360-degree navigation and a bird’s-eye view, and interactive 2D floor plans show room dimensions. Asteroom names Ricoh Theta S, SC, V and Z1 and Insta360 ONE X as integrated cameras; other 360-degree photos can be imported if they have a 2:1 aspect ratio. Tours can sync with realtor.com and Zillow, and the workflow includes MLS and Realtor.com integration. Android, iOS and web access are listed. The free Basic Plan requires an Asteroom Pano Kit or 360 camera. Professional costs $39.90 a month, while the Imaging Package costs $59 and includes up to 30 panoramas and 180 days of hosting. When a subscription expires, tours are archived and no longer public until renewal.
