Upload your images, add interactivity, and share with the world. ### Hotspot Navigation **Link scenes together so viewers can move room-to-room, floor-to-floor — just like being there.** Guide viewers through your space with click-through hotspots. Link scenes together so users can move from room to room, floor to floor, or area to area — just like walking through in person. Navigation hotspots aren't limited to adjacent rooms. Design the flow that tells your story best. - Ground-floor reception to top-floor terrace in one click - Jump between buildings on a campus or development - Non-linear — create your ideal visitor journey - Scene thumbnails for quick access to any room How It Works: Drop a hotspot, fine-tune the flow, publish & share. Build a walkthrough in under 5 minutes. Research shows interactive tours drive more engagement, faster sales, and stronger buyer intent: 87% more views (Redfin), 5–10x longer on page (FlyLens 360), 31% faster sales (Matterport). ### Infospots (Media Hotspots) **Add interactive infospots with text, images, video, audio, or links — so viewers get the full picture without leaving the tour.** Pin rich content anywhere in the scene. Five content types that turn a static panorama into an interactive, self-guided experience: - **Text**: Describe what viewers are looking at. Formatted text with headings, bold, lists, and links. - **Image**: Show the details a panorama can't capture alone. Close-up photos, floor plans, material swatches. - **Audio**: Let the space speak for itself. Narration, spoken instructions, or ambient sound. - **Video**: Embed a YouTube or Vimeo clip right inside the tour. - **Link**: Connect viewers to the wider world — booking pages, spec sheets, brochures. Viewers tap to reveal — the view stays clean until they need it. Add an infospot in under a minute. ### AI Photo Cleanup (Unlimited only) **Remove people and tripods from your 360° panoramas in one click. Built into the Koala 360 editor — no Photoshop, no plugins, no extra software.** Two AI tools, both included with the Unlimited plan with up to 500 edits per month: - **Remove people**: Auto-detects every person in the panorama using Grounding DINO, draws a box around each one, and lets you toggle who stays and who goes. Bria Eraser and Google Nano-Banana-Pro inpaint the background. Up to 5 people per edit, full 4K equirect resolution preserved, equirectangular seam handled correctly across the wraparound. - **Remove tripod**: Isolates the floor patch under the camera, paints out the tripod with Bria Eraser, then blends it back into the panorama with a feathered seam and a per-row pole-convergence pass that hides the stitching artefacts the tripod was masking. Rebuilds wood, tile, or carpet patterns under the camera — no more circular logo patches. Plan gating: - **Free**: 3 AI detection previews per day. See what the AI would remove, but cannot apply edits. - **PRO**: 10 AI detection previews per day. Cannot apply edits. - **Unlimited**: 50 detection previews per day, 500 edits per month, full apply rights. How it works (3 steps): 1. Open any panorama in the editor. 2. Click Remove people or Remove tripod. The AI detects what to remove and shows you a preview. 3. Apply & save. The cleaned pano replaces the scene. Total time: usually under 30 seconds. Compatible with any equirectangular source: Ricoh Theta, Insta360, GoPro MAX, Pilot Era, Matterport equirects, and CGI renders from 3ds Max, Blender, Enscape, or Lumion. Original files are preserved in account history. Image data is sent to the AI provider for the single edit, then discarded — not used to train models. Bundled with Unlimited rather than sold per-edit because every cleanup runs on a GPU using top-tier models. One flat price covers everyone shooting at volume. ### A/B Visualisations **Let viewers toggle between Before & After, Day & Night, or any two versions of a scene — directly inside the tour.** Upload two sets of 360° images and let viewers switch between them. Before & After, Day & Night, furnished vs empty — shown side by side in one immersive tour. Three viewing modes: - **Toggle**: Tap to switch between versions - **Slider**: Drag divider to reveal each side - **Side-by-Side**: Both visible, camera synced Use cases: Renovation progress, furnished vs unfurnished, construction phases, proposed design vs current state, demolition vs rebuild, compare material finishes. Live comparison tour in under 5 minutes. ### Compass **An orientation compass overlay that helps viewers stay oriented as they explore.** Show real-world orientation with an interactive compass overlay. Viewers always know which direction they're facing — essential for property tours where sun exposure, views, and spatial context matter. - Live compass rotates in real-time as the viewer looks around - Set north direction per panorama in the editor - No surveying equipment needed — calibrate visually - Useful for property, architecture, and site documentation ### White-Label Branding **Remove Koala branding and present tours as your own — with your logo front and centre.** No code, no CSS — just upload your logo and go. Deliver fully client-ready presentations that look like they were built on your own platform. Available on PRO and Unlimited plans. Popular with agencies, photographers, and studios. ### Embed Anywhere **Embed tours on your website, share a direct link, or generate a QR code — three ways to get your 360° tours in front of the right people.** - **Embed**: One iframe tag drops your tour into any website or listing platform. Works with WordPress, Webflow, Squarespace, Wix, Shopify, Rightmove, Zoopla, realestate.com.au, Zillow, Domain. Fully responsive. Edit the tour and every embed updates automatically. - **Direct Link**: Unique shareable URL that works on any device. Perfect for emails, proposals, social media. - **QR Code**: Auto-generated QR code for print materials, brochures, and signage. ### Password Protection **Lock tours behind a password for exclusive listings, private client previews, or pre-launch projects.** Create exclusivity for premium listings. Off-market and high-end developments need discretion. Share the password only with the people who need access. Set a password on any tour in one click. Clean, branded gate screen. ### Team Collaboration **Invite colleagues to share your tours or let creators build tours under your account. Available exclusively on the Unlimited plan.** Two access types: - **Colleagues**: Get access to every tour in your account. Assign roles — admin, editor, or viewer. - **Creators**: Build tours under your account, billed to you — they only see their own work. Ideal for students, freelancers, or external team members.
