	EyeSpy360 Tour by We Get Around Atlanta Chief Photographer Dan Smigrod Hi All, EyeSpy360 is an easy, fast and affordable option when you need a lower price point for a virtual tour. Plus, it's a white-label solution with options for your branding and your client's branding. I shot this EyeSpy360 Tour (above) yesterday (27 January 2020) of a one-bedroom/balcony senior living apartment. (I will return to shoot a furnished unit and post below.) I shot the 360º virtual tour with just four (4) 360º photo spheres (and still get a dollhouse view): 1. Living room 2. Bedroom 3. Bathroom 4. Balcony (You can shoot with any 360º 1-click camera.) EyeSpy360 did the following: ✓ created the 360º Tour ✓ created the 3D Model ✓ created the floor plans ✓ created the room measurements ✓ created the mini-map (Tip: try "flying-in" from the mini-map) I that EyeSpy360 does the above for all WGAN Forum Members (EyeSpy360 Special Offer for WGAN Forum Members). Note: Note the height of your tripod and the height of your camera. These measurements are the "secret sauce" for EyeSpy360 to create floor plans at scale with measurements and 3D model. I did the following: ✓ added my nadir logo patch (I need bigger artwork than 256x256 pixels. I will fix later.) ✓ added hotspots (video, Google Maps, Info) ✓ set the view of each 360º ✓ set the starting view of each 360º ✓ labeled each thumbnail (360º) The EyeSpy360 platform is relatively easy to get up-to-speed. In some instances where I needed help, short "how to" video tutorials walked me through what to do (such as how to set the view in each 360º.)

1. I will circle back to you on which camera. Thanks for your patience. THANKS.

2. You can try "flying-in" with the example above. Look for the mini-map in the bottom left. It's cool! SO, JUST CLICK ON THE MINI-MAP, RIGHT?

3. EyeSpy360 creates the floor plan from the 360ºs by seeing the entire space and knowing the height of the tripod and height of the camera. It's an automated workflow. Super-easy. And, the floor plan is included in the $19.75 per tour. WOW! THIS IS A REALLY NICE UPGRADE TO THE PLATFORM I USED IN THE FREE TRIAL JUST A FEW MONTHS AGO! VERY NICE!

4. Great question on the measurements. I will go back and laser measure (and report back). Thanks for your patience on this. THANKS!

5. Set the camera at the height that you prefer. I shot with the camera lower than eye-height. It makes for a better walkthrough experience. (My height log is in my home office. I will post that here too. PERFECT! SO, I AM PRESUMING ONCE THESE MEASUREMENTS ARE FED INTO THE PLATFORM, THEY SHOULD NOT VARY, CORRECT? IN OTHER WORDS, AS WE KNOW, SOME PANOS ARE DONE IN BATHROOMS JUST BELOW THE SIGHTLINE TO THE MIRROR IF THE CAMERA CANNOT BE PLACED ELSEWHERE. ANOTHER EXAMPLE MIGHT BE IN A KITCHEN, WHERE YOU WANT/NEED TO BE 15" ABOVE THE COUNTER-TOPS, BUT GIVEN THE TOP IS NEARLY ALWAYS GOING TO BE 36", THIS IMPLIES THE LENS HEIGHT SHOULD BE SET AT 51" FOR THE ENTIRE SHOOT. THE OTHER, "BEST PRACTICE" I AM ACCUSTOMED TO IS HEIGHT OF CEILING DIVIDED BY 2, BUT CLEARLY THIS DOES NOT WORK IN A 2-STORY ENTRY, OR GREAT ROOM.

6. I did pull one 2D still from the pano. I was happy. I will do a series and place in a Dropbox and share here too. GREAT! LAST I SAW ANY OF THESE WAS DURING SAME FREE TRIAL MENTIONED ABOVE. FROM MEMORY, I THOUGHT THE FIELD OF VIEW WAS A BIT NARROW.

Love the questions. Thanks for asking

Best

Dan

THANKS AGAIN. I APPRECIATE YOUR HELP.

	@DanSmigrod Great example showing EyeSpy360 features. Thanks for sharing! A few questions to clarify: 1. Which 360 camera did you use (I presume is was your Insta360 One X)? 2. When you mentioned the tip about, "Tip: try "flying-in" from the mini-map," does the platform facilitate this with a few clicks, or how would you accomplish this? 3. Concerning the floor plan, last time I tried the platform out on a free trial (a few months back), creating the floor plan required a separate walk-through using a special app. Is this still the case, or is this part of the workflow automated similar to Matterport? 4. How accurate are the measurements shown on your floor plan? 5. On the point about measurements and secret sauce, I caught that best practice is to place camera lens at eye-level. My question is, "whose eye-level?"..., the average height of the buyer/viewer, or mine? If you are short, this could be 5'0". If you are my height, this could be 6' at eye level. 6. Did you try to pull 2D stills out of the panos? If yes, just wondering your thoughts on resolution and field of view. Sorry for all the questions. Thanks in advance for the added info!

	@DanSmigrod Thanks much Dan! On about 1/2 these pics, same issue with camera placement vs. 2D stills that you run into with any other 3D/360 camera. To maximize the view angle, the camera needs to be placed at extremities, which requires more panos than needed for just the tour, but you don't have to use the extras. With a few filters, or some touch-up, they would be fine for many. Thanks again for the info! Much appreciated.
