Real estate listings need trust fast. Static photos miss spatial context. Gaussian Splatting gives interactive depth without heavy production pipeline.

Why Gaussian Splatting for property marketing

  • Better room scale perception vs flat photos
  • Stronger engagement on listing pages
  • Faster publishing compared with full mesh cleanup workflows
  • Works well for renovation-before/after documentation

Room capture workflow

Step What to do Quality check
Prep Open doors, remove moving clutter Clean walk path
Lighting Keep lights stable in all rooms No hard exposure jumps
Capture Slow orbit-like movement per room 60%+ overlap
Transitions Capture hallway connectors No navigation gaps
Review Inspect output for holes/reflections Re-capture weak zones

Practical capture tips

  1. Start from entrance, keep clockwise room order
  2. Capture each room from perimeter + center line
  3. Avoid mirrors directly facing camera path
  4. Keep curtains consistent to avoid lighting shifts

Publish and share
