Abstract
Connecting images to generate a virtual tour is provided. The system receives images and metadata captured by a first client device, and detects features of the images to establish an order. The system identifies, based at least in part on the images and the metadata, a position for a virtual camera. The system connects, in the order, the images with the position of the virtual camera persisting across the images. The system generates a virtual tour from the connected images with a linear path along the persistent position of the virtual camera based on a configuration file comprising a constraint configured to disable branching along the linear path. The system delivers a viewer application that executes in a client application on a second client device. The system streams, to the viewer application, the virtual tour based at least in part on the configuration file.
