Well spotted!

Those walkthroughs are very well done.

I had been planning the use of an indoor drone and waypoints to deliver a similar end product. Now I know the quality of the competition, I have something to aim for.
The stitching software is way too complex so I had been thinking of full rotations at waypoints and saccading between the waypoints. The last hurdle is how to reconstruct a floor plan from multi-point readings.

I would never use a drone for this purpose.

Safety? Aesthetics? Technical? Quality?

All of the above.

Yes Acorn, good eye, the camera is a Matterport. We don't own one, we hire a photographer who shoots the home. The 3D tour link takes you to the Matterport cloud. We pay approximately 50.00 per month for the hosting. Nonetheless it has been our best web investment yet.

It is the best 3D rendering that I have seen. A friend and colleague's business takes architectural drawings and converts them into virtual tours down to the level of turning on the gas cooker and opening and closing cupboards. They had a contract for 500+ luxury apartments that are totally immersive.
