Look is an app for building and viewing 360° virtual tours and multi-tour Projects on iPhone and iPad. Turn ordinary panoramic photos into an immersive walkthrough with a floorplan, viewpoints, and routes. Bundle several tours into a single Project — floors of a house, buildings of an estate, or connected rooms of an apartment — and present the property as one unified 3D space. PROJECTS Multi-tour structure for larger properties. Combine several tours into a single Project and wire up transitions between them directly inside the 3D walkthrough — no jumping back to a list.
