Split View

Split View

Split View is a very useful feature to view a 360 scene side by side.  In this example, it’s difficult to envision how a large family room would look furnished.  By virtual staging the empty room, a potential homeowner can visualize how the room would look furnished.  Viewer is able to slide the white center line left or right to see more of a photo.

Other useful functions of a split view are before and after effects of the same scene in a remodel or new construction project.
