Grand Theatre
Stage-oriented preview for stalls, circles and named sections.
Open theatre seat view →VIRTUAL SEAT VIEW · 360° PANORAMA
Preview a virtual seat view.
Move from the same selected seat into an authored or generated 360° view. SeatLayer keeps the source visible, the 2D Map complete and the optional 3D venue available—without pretending every preview is an exact photograph.
DEMO MEDIA IS AI-GENERATED AND VENUE-REPRESENTATIVE · NOT AN EXACT OR CERTIFIED SIGHTLINE
LIVE VIRTUAL SEAT-VIEW DEMOS
One viewer. Six venue contexts.
Use direct demo links instead of judging six nearly identical screenshots. Each route enters the buyer journey with Map, optional 3D, a selected seat and a disclosed representative panorama.
Football Stadium
Field orientation across lower and upper stands.
Open stadium seat view →Cricket Oval
Oval context across named stands and the pitch.
Open cricket seat view →Arena Bowl
Centre-event context from sectioned seating tiers.
Open arena seat view →Concert Hall
Performance-focused context across sections and gallery.
Open concert seat view →Amphitheatre
Outdoor stage context from curved rising terraces.
Open amphitheatre view →What these demos prove: the viewer, interaction, venue-profile mapping and source disclosure. What they do not prove: an exact seat, a real venue capture, obstruction accuracy or a certified sightline.
SOURCE PRECEDENCE
Start broad. Add precision where the decision needs it.
SeatLayer resolves the closest available source. Organizer-authored media remains authoritative; generated and demo sources remain disclosed.
One useful starting view
A venue-wide panorama can establish stage, field or room orientation while a media library grows.
Respect level changes
Add a floor source when balcony, suite or deck height materially changes the visual context.
Show decision-critical differences
Use precise authored media for restricted views, premium positions or major angle changes.
Keep a truthful fallback
Where no authored source exists, a labeled geometry-generated preview can preserve orientation without calling itself photography.

3D AND 360 ANSWER DIFFERENT QUESTIONS
Understand the room. Then inspect the view.
Interactive 3D venue
Use 3D to understand decks, floors, elevation, sections and the route from the whole venue to one live seat.
- Orbit and navigate the venue
- Select current inventory
- Fly to a chosen seat
- Keep Map and 3D selection synchronized
Virtual seat view
Use a panorama to inspect the visual context from a chosen position. The source may be organizer-authored, generated or representative demo media.
- Drag, pinch or scroll to look
- Keep source and provenance visible
- Reuse broader sources where truthful
- Add precise media for decision-critical seats
RELEASED VERSUS ROADMAP
Market what buyers can run today.
The viewer and source hierarchy are released. Delivery and tour enhancements remain explicitly staged.
| Released | Available now | Authored and generated sources, Map/3D entry, panorama controls, source disclosure, analytics, 2D fallback and AI representative demo profiles. |
|---|---|---|
| Authoring depth | Partially released | Venue/floor authoring and metadata exist; precise coverage reporting and complete row/section/exact-seat calibration UX remain in progress. |
| Delivery | Roadmap | Multiresolution mobile preview-to-fullscreen delivery, stale-decode cancellation and stricter GPU-memory bounds. |
| Experience | Later roadmap | Shareable seat-view URLs, hotspots, gyro, guided tours, spatial audio and atmosphere. |

VIRTUAL SEAT VIEW FAQ
Accuracy, coverage and fallback—clearly bounded.
What is a virtual seat view?
A virtual seat view is a visual preview opened from a chosen seat or nearby seating area. It may use organizer-authored media or a clearly labeled generated preview. It is separate from the interactive 3D venue, which explains the wider room structure.
Does every seat need its own panorama?
No. A venue can begin with a venue- or floor-level source and add row- or seat-level media where the view changes materially. The closest available authored source should remain authoritative.
Is the panorama on this page a real venue photograph?
No. The page uses one AI-generated representative panorama to demonstrate the viewer, while the venue links open other disclosed demo profiles. They are not exact seats, real venue captures or certified sightlines.
How is a 360 seat view different from a 3D seat map?
The 3D seat map lets buyers orbit the venue, understand levels and select live inventory. A 360 seat view focuses on the visual experience from a chosen position. SeatLayer can move from the same selected seat into either an authored or generated panorama.
What happens when no panorama is available?
The buyer can continue with the complete 2D Map and optional 3D venue. Where enabled, SeatLayer may provide a clearly labeled geometry-generated preview rather than presenting it as photography.
Does SeatLayer certify restricted or unobstructed sightlines?
No. Generated and representative demo media are orientation aids, not venue-certified sightline or accessibility-route assessments. Venues should provide precise authored media where obstructions affect purchase decisions.
PRIMARY COMMERCIAL PATH · SDK + API
Test the view—then plan the integration.
Use the live demo first. For production, embed the buyer experience through the SDK; your trusted server still owns checkout, payment, customers, orders, ticket delivery and final booking.
