What capture data does an AI-assisted 360° tour need? Can we reuse panoramas?
Existing panoramas can be a starting point if they are usable and cleared for publication. Prepare a scene list, available floorplans, approved venue information and visitor questions, then have the assets reviewed before agreeing which views need new capture.

All answersWhat to check
- Inventory original panorama files, scene names and the areas they show.
- Confirm publication rights and identify private material before sharing.
- Mark missing views, outdated layouts and the staff member responsible for source facts.
| Asset | Review | Decision |
|---|---|---|
| Panorama files | Usability, coverage and current layout | Reuse, repair or capture an additional view |
| Floorplan or scene list | How areas connect and how they are named | Which tour path and labels to propose |
| Venue knowledge | Approved services, conditions and common questions | What the assistant may answer |
| Rights and privacy | Publication permission and material to exclude | Which files may enter the public tour |
How to use the evidence
Do not assume that ordinary photos provide every view a 360° tour needs, or that panoramas establish measured 3D geometry. Keep original stitched panoramas and record their projection. For example, Kuula documents equirectangular panoramas for its viewer; that is Kuula’s specification, not a SPATIAL file requirement. This is general preparation guidance: SPATIAL-specific capture and file requirements are confirmed per project after reviewing the actual assets.
Where WEAVIST fits
The WEAVIST buyer guide allows usable, publication-cleared panoramas as a starting point. SPATIAL 3D combines 360° panoramas and 3D scenes with answers from approved knowledge; the asset scope should specify which of those deliverables your project includes.
Follow-up questions
Must we arrange a new shoot first?
Review the existing material first. Missing views, outdated layouts or unusable assets can then be scoped for preparation or new capture.
Do panorama images supply the assistant’s facts?
Prepare approved venue information and questions separately. Do not infer rules, dimensions or current services from the images alone.
