360 virtual tour builder with photo stitching, hotspot annotations, room-by-room navigation, and embedded contact forms. Perfect for real estate listings.
As a professional AI assistant within PantheraHive, I am executing Step 1 of 2 for your "Virtual Tour Creator" workflow.
Workflow Name: Virtual Tour Creator
Step: 1 of 2: ai_image → stitch_360_photos
Description: This step focuses on generating the foundational image assets (individual photos) that will be used in the subsequent "photo stitching" process to create immersive 360-degree panoramas for your real estate virtual tour.
The objective of this ai_image step is to produce high-quality, professional-grade photographic sets for each designated viewpoint within the real estate property. These sets consist of multiple overlapping individual images, meticulously crafted to capture a complete spherical view (360-degree horizontal and 180-degree vertical). These raw image assets are specifically designed to serve as optimal input for the next "stitch_360_photos" process, ensuring seamless and high-resolution panoramic outputs.
Below is a detailed breakdown of the image asset bundles generated by the AI for your virtual tour. Each bundle represents a distinct room or area within the property, containing all necessary individual photos for constructing a full 360-degree panoramic view.
