Dataset Overview
This dataset showcases a photorealistic 3D capture of a residential property, demonstrating how Gaussian Splatting technology transforms real estate marketing. The immersive virtual tour allows potential buyers to explore every room, corner, and detail as if they were physically walking through the home.
Unlike traditional photos or 360° panoramas, this spatial capture provides a true sense of the home's layout, flow, and character—helping buyers make more confident decisions before scheduling an in-person visit.
The Future of Real Estate Marketing
Modern home buyers start their search online, and first impressions matter. Traditional listing photos can only show so much, leaving buyers guessing about room sizes, layouts, and how spaces connect.
Gaussian Splat virtual tours solve this by:
- Providing complete spatial context — Buyers can move freely through the home, not just view fixed positions
- Pre-qualifying serious buyers — Virtual tours filter out properties that don't meet needs, saving everyone time
- Increasing listing engagement — Properties with virtual tours receive 40%+ more clicks and longer viewing times
- Building buyer confidence — Experience the property remotely before committing to a visit
Virtual tours increase listing engagement by 40%+ and help buyers pre-qualify properties before in-person appointments.
Capture Technology
This residential property was captured with PortalCam, the first true spatial camera designed for interior environments. PortalCam makes professional real estate documentation accessible:
- Walk naturally through the home — No tripod setups, no complex station-based scanning
- Capture complete properties in minutes — Document entire homes faster than traditional photography sessions
- Generate photorealistic Gaussian Splats automatically via cloud processing
- Works in standard lighting — No special equipment or lighting rigs required
For real estate professionals, this means you can offer premium virtual tour services without investing in expensive equipment or hiring specialized photographers.

Why Gaussian Splatting for Real Estate?
