Capture an entire property — every floor, every room — as one interactive 360° walkthrough and share it with a single iCloud link. It opens in the Look app. Look is built for interior designers. It turns finished 360° panoramas into a virtual tour with a floor plan, shooting points and transitions — the whole editor is right in the app. No desktop software, no web builder. BUILDING A TOUR • Add a floor plan and place shooting points with a tap. • Import panoramas from Photos or Files — all at once, then assign them to points. • Set the viewing direction for every point. • Mark up the shot right inside the panorama: transitions between points, variant switches and comments go exactly where your finger puts them. SCENE VARIANTS Shoot one point in several states — day and night, before and after, parquet or tile, furnished or empty. Define the tour's parameters (ready-made templates: Lighting, Time of day, Flooring, Furniture — or your own) and the viewer flips between them right inside the panorama. PROJECTS Combine several tours — floors of a house, separate buildings, connected rooms — into one Project with transitions between them inside the 3D walkthrough. One link covers the whole property. VIEWING • Full immersion: turn the device and the panorama follows (can be switched off). • Floor-plan navigation: tap a point to jump to that room. • 3D transitions: arrows in the frame lead from room to room. • Viewing is free and unlimited — for you and for everyone you share a tour with. SHARING A TOUR • An iCloud link to a tour or Project: open to anyone who has it, or to invited people only. Revoke access with one tap. • A .lookapp file — send it by messenger or email; it opens in Look without iCloud. • To view it, the recipient needs the Look app — it is free. YOUR DATA STAYS IN YOUR iCLOUD Panoramas and plans are stored on the device and in your own iCloud (using your iCloud storage): synced between your devices, available offline once downloaded. There are no third-party servers — Look does not keep your work anywhere else. FREE AND LOOK PRO Free: up to 2 tours of your own, up to 2 transitions per tour, 1 panorama per point, one variant switch and one comment per point, up to 2 tours per Project. Viewing, importing and sharing are unlimited. Look Pro removes these limits: unlimited tours, transitions, panoramas per point, markup elements and floors per Project. Monthly or yearly plans; the monthly plan starts with a 7-day free trial. The subscription renews automatically and can be cancelled at any time in your Apple ID settings.
