How can I add a 360 Virtual Tour to my listing?

Hi,

 

We have been hosting for two years now and have been doing ok with our pictures.  We found this website http://do360now.com that does virtual tours for real estate.  Here's a  Sample of 360 Virtual Tour for showing the properties   

 

The way it works is that they come and shoot pictures with a 360 camera and then they provide a link similar to what I have on the top where you can add to your listings or website.   

 

We can't seem to be able to add this link to our pictures or to our discription.  Does anybody know how we could add 360 Virtual Tour to our listing?

 

Thank you indvacned,

 

Clement

Create a QR code with the 360 virtual tour hyperlink and add it to your photos on Airbnb 🙂

Here is an example of a listing Where I've taken the standard 3D tour and made it completely immersive with headsets such as the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift.

Hi @Lizzie

 

I think the 360 degrees photos could add a sense of being there (the listing you wish to book), however, the technology used differs in format, compatibility and quality. I think it's worth investigating, Google has great documentation and professionals for 360 photos.

It could become interesting when you can actually view this type of photos in the Airbnb apps, browser, etc, and not to forget when AR and / or VR goes mainstream (clue: in 5 years). Honestly, it feels like a gimmick right now.

Wherever you go, there you are.

360 Virtual Tours would be a great addition. If you need any beta testers.... 🙂

 

It would also be cool to add tags to the photos/house tours (similar to the tags on Pinterest/Houzz etc) with insights to the rooms and equipment within the house, a virtual house manual for guests.

Do you mean like this 360 walkthrough tour with auto tour feature and Tags

 

Im offering this service to my high end luxury property clients and im also looking at a way of offering en mass to the airbnb community. From my understanding Airbnb does not allow exteranl links yet but they are beta testing the service I provide in California. Im eagerly awaiting to hear when they will be implementing the service to allow everyone a 360 tour. 

I fly all over the world offering high end property showcase sulutions here's another one I shot which includes a mini film and photography along with the 360 walk through - Luxury property presentation with drone and stills + 360 walk through.

Why are my links removed? 

I think it would be a fantastic feature

This would be an amazing option, not only that I'm actually shocked it's not already an option seeing as how most smart fones can view these VR images.

Yes....this would be great to have!!!!  A real competitive advantage.

Yes it would be nice only if the whole place is for the guest only not just for one room, and or special host that go way beyond there expectations

It will be very helpful at these days. Lots of guests booked accommodation without reading details about it, after that of course there are lots of complaints and unsatisfactory.

I created my own Virtual airbnb listing using my own camera and software.  Let me know what everyone thinks.  http://360.helloai.com/airbnbcavehouse/cavehouse.html

 

You are totally on cue with 360 tours.. It is a feature that would give your potential client a better understanding of your space.

Hi All,

 

As we are also interested in adding 360 VR content I was doing some research and came across 3D VR technology from Matterport. Anyone heard about it?

 

it seems they have partnered with Airbnb and are starting a pilot in States:

Looks promissing though! What do you think?
