What Zillow 3D Home is

Zillow 3D Home is a free mobile app for creating virtual home tours and publishing them to a listing’s Zillow home details page. Tours can be captured with a supported iPhone or Android smartphone, or with a compatible 360-degree camera. The app can also make interactive floor plans, but those require a compatible 360-degree camera. Tours can be shared through social media, email, text, MLS links, and website embeds. Zillow says a tour linked on the MLS automatically syndicates to most major real estate sites. Users can manage published and unpublished tours from a computer dashboard or the mobile app, and grant other people editing access through dashboard sharing controls. The app is intended as a listing-marketing tool for agents, sellers, property managers, and photographers. An iPad or other tablet requires a compatible 360-degree camera for tour capture. Zillow may distribute submitted tours and floor plans to MLSs and other real estate websites; users can review certain sharing preferences in the Distribution tab. Users need permission to upload property panoramas and must exclude people, pets, and private information. The free plan is listed as free, with no per-home, service, or hosting fees.
