Answers for teams replacing static galleries with guest-ready 360 tours.

What SceneHost is today

SceneHost is a hosted 360 Guest Guide platform for short-let hosts, property managers, direct-booking teams, and media partners. The commercial product is designed to publish quickly from room panoramas and structured guide content. It gives teams a polished page they can share before booking, before arrival, during the stay, and inside owner or marketing workflows.

The product intentionally separates the sell-ready guide workflow from the premium 3D reconstruction lab. That keeps the customer promise realistic: publish a useful visual guide now, then add deeper spatial technology when the capture and reconstruction pipeline is mature enough for paid customers.

What users can upload

The strongest current input is a room panorama or a set of room panoramas. Hosts can use phone panorama workflows, 360 cameras, or existing panoramic assets. The builder is meant to turn those inputs into a guided stay experience with room labels, arrival notes, safety information, device instructions, and direct-booking prompts.

Regular flat property photos can still be useful for marketing, but they do not create the same room-aware 360 experience. SceneHost should be positioned around the input that produces the best guest guide today. This reduces customer disappointment and keeps the product promise clear.

How private links and access details work

Short-let guides often need to include sensitive information. Arrival routes, gate codes, lockbox instructions, backup contact notes, and device reset instructions should not always be visible on a public page. SceneHost supports the operating idea of public tour value plus protected guest guidance.

Teams should use private, password, unlisted, or expiring guide access when sensitive details are included. That gives hosts a cleaner workflow than copying the same instructions into every message channel, while keeping private information more controlled than a public static listing page.

How analytics help hosts and managers

SceneHost analytics are designed to answer practical questions. Which rooms do guests inspect? Which guide modules do they open? Which traffic sources produce direct-booking clicks? Which properties receive views but weak intent? Which guide items are missing before a property is ready to share?

For a solo host, that data can reduce repeated support questions and improve the guide. For a manager, it can support portfolio reporting, owner updates, team accountability, and channel decisions. The goal is not to overwhelm the user with vanity data. The goal is to turn guide behavior into better operations and better booking confidence.

Pricing, plans, and the premium 3D path

The pricing model is organized around active guide volume and operating depth. Starter is for hosts who need a practical guide for a few units. Studio is for operators who need branded pages, more active guides, embeds, and stronger analytics. Agency is for managers and teams that need portfolio reporting, team workflows, white-label options, and API-ready foundations.

Premium 3D remains a roadmap path rather than the default promise. That is important because customers should not pay for a product whose quality depends on uncertain capture conditions. SceneHost can still build toward premium 3D while selling a useful 360 Guest Guide product now.
