Real Estate Interactive Virtual Spinner Services Explained
What a virtual spinner is
A virtual spinner, sometimes called a 360 object viewer, lets a website visitor click and drag to rotate a 3D model of a property, floor plan, or building exterior, viewing it from any angle rather than a fixed set of photos.
In real estate, this is often used for a rendered building exterior or a scaled site model, giving buyers a sense of the full form of a property before it's built.
How it differs from a standard photo gallery or 360 tour
A photo gallery shows a fixed set of static images, and a 360 tour lets a viewer look around from within a single point inside a space. A spinner is different again: it rotates an entire object or building model from the outside.
Spinners work especially well for pre-construction marketing, where no physical building exists yet to photograph or tour, since the model can be rendered from any angle on demand.
Questions to ask before you decide
- Is the spinner built from the same 3D model used for still renderings?
- Does it work smoothly on mobile devices, not just desktop?
- Can the spinner be embedded directly on a listing page, or does it require a separate link?
