Playbook: travel or real estate walkthrough

Goal

Help visitors truly understand a place before they ever arrive, visit, buy, rent, or plan.

When to use it

• You are building a destination preview, a property tour, a neighborhood walk, or a venue walkthrough.
• You want practical context layered on top of visual exploration.
• You need visitors to move through scenes along a natural, intuitive route.

Step-by-step walkthrough

1. Order your scenes the way a visitor would physically walk the space.
2. Use hotspots for the practical details: entry, amenities, views, routes, history, and constraints.
3. Place portals on the doors, paths, rooms, and landmarks where movement actually happens.
4. Keep narration grounded and genuinely useful — not over-romanticized.
5. Configure the AI Guide as a local host or a property guide.
6. Preview on mobile, because most visitors will open the shared link on a phone.

Best practices

• Use plain, recognizable scene names like Lobby, Rooftop, Courtyard, or East Trail.
• Place portals exactly where the visitor instinctively expects to move next.
• Keep hotspot copy short for practical facts people just want to scan.
• Avoid over-stylizing spaces that visitors need to inspect honestly.

Avoid these mistakes

• Creating beautiful scenes that don't match the real route through the space.
• Making key amenities hard to discover.
• Adding fictionalized detail when visitors need practical accuracy.

Go deeper

• Place-based worlds succeed when movement feels effortless and obvious.
• A good route answers questions before they ever become objections.
• Use the opening scene to orient visitors geographically — where am I, and where does this go?
