Abstract

Systems and methods for navigating a user in a three-dimensional model of a property are disclosed. An exemplary system includes a storage device configured to store data associated with a plurality of point positions. Each point position corresponds to a camera position at which images of the property are captured by the camera. The system further includes at least one processor configured to determine connectivity among the point positions and determine a plurality of candidate routes connecting a first introduction position and a second introduction position. Each candidate route links a subset of the point positions based on the connectivity. The at least one processor is further configured to select a route from the candidate routes and sequentially display views corresponding to the point positions on the selected route. The views at each point position are rendered from the images captured at the camera position corresponding to the point position.
