360° Image Editing

Virtually staging a 360° image using Apply Design follows the same process as virtually staging a 2D image. The main difference being, 360° Images cost 2 Apply Coins each.

Apply Design supports equirectangular 2:1 images, taken from any device. Equirectangular format is one single stitched image of 360° horizontally and 180° vertically.

Apply Design supports the virtual staging of the 360° image itself. Apply Design currently does not supply a 360° virtual tour. The recommended way of using Apply Design 360° Virtual Staging service is to export the 360° images out of an existing 360° tour. You then can upload those images into Apply Design to virtually stage them and when complete import back into your your existing tour.

Currently, Matterport does not allow importing back edited images into their platform. We are currently working with Matterport on a resolution.

When uploading a 360° image, locate your image, Drag and Drop your image to upload or click on Browse Files.

You will then be prompted to assign a New Location or an Existing Location.

You will then be prompted to define the Image Name. You must then select the Image Type, select the 360° Image Icon.

Select Continue and you will then be given the chance to review your upload, if everything is correct click Upload.

Your image then goes through the Uploading process, please do not refresh the page during the upload process. Uploading may take longer than a 2D image, due to the size.

2D images will display the specific angle of the area you will be virtually staging. 360° images will display a specific starting point. Expand the image out using your mouse, then click and hold to rotate and see the entire area available for staging.

Step 1: Chose a Starting Point

Step 2: Add Furniture From Gallery

Adding furniture to a 360° Image is done the exact same way as adding furniture to a 2D image.

With Apply Design, virtually staging a 360° image is as easy as a 2D image.
