Any updates on the Labpano Pilot One Virtual Tours or examples? Looking for a 1 step alternative to my Ricoh Theta Z1 + Matterport.

They did a lot of pans for the area.
I would be interested in what you and others think.
I am not that versed to give a qualified opinion still learning.
But if I had to make a remark, I was thinking I could drill down more for 8k.

I will be interested in what others have to say.

I reached out to Labpano about your question and received this reply ...

"We currently have no official statement. PilotTour is currently in the preliminary stage, and we are perfecting the details. Including user feedback for inaccurate positioning and adding tags. We are studying whether it is possible to introduce 3D, but it is currently limited to the research stage."

Labpano sent me a Pilot One for testing and review months ago. In my testing - at that time - Pilot One PilotTours was too early in development to test and review.

Transcript: Pilot One is a Contender for Real Estate Photographers

Here is an excerpt from my review:

First, I was super excited about creating Google Street View map updates and creating new Google Street View "blue lines" ... Essentially Google Street View where there is presently no Google Street View, that's the first thing that I was super-excited about testing. Second, is to create a PilotTour using the Labpano new Virtual Tour platform in the cloud, featuring auto creation of tours, that's using a process called V-SLAM.

Super-excited to see how Labpano new Virtual Tour platform in the cloud would automatically create Virtual Tours without a photographer having to create a constellation or organize the 360s into the tour. So I really wanted to create PilotTours with the Pilot One camera.

And the third reason that I wanted to accept the Labpano's invite to beta test and review the Pilot One was to create EyeSpy360 virtual tours using the 360 panorama shots from the Pilot One. Unfortunately or fortunately Labpano is having so much success with pre-sales, I have not received the GPS module and their recommended backpack as of [10 Feb 2020] in order to create Google Street View with Pilot One.

And, also unfortunately PilotTour is still in very early development and I'll talk more about my PilotTour testing and recommendations later in my review. I did successfully shoot 360 HDR panoramas with the Pilot One to create multiple EyeSpy360 virtual tours.


...

I've written a related WGAN Forum post titled, Are You a 3D/360 Camera Manufacturer? The Must Have Killer Feature Is ... So I go into great detail on this very point. For clarification, if the Labpano objective is - PilotTour: Indoor and Outdoor 360 Virtual Tour Made Easy" - that's their tagline, I would suggest that they study the EyeSpy360 Virtual Tour platform. For example, the EyeSpy360 workflow is much, much, much easier than the vision of Labpano's PilotTour even when PilotTour emerges from beta, even in its likely future state of what that might be.

Yeah, it is an awful lot of scans. I also don't like that you can't just click the direction that you want to go. You have to click on the actual scan points.
