# 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

_THEATRE PRODUCTION · DEMO AI-GENERATED · 360° EQUIRECTANGULAR_

## 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.

### Grand Theatre

Stage-oriented preview for stalls, circles and named sections.

### Football Stadium

Field orientation across lower and upper stands.

### Cricket Oval

Oval context across named stands and the pitch.

### Arena Bowl

Centre-event context from sectioned seating tiers.

### Concert Hall

Performance-focused context across sections and gallery.

### Amphitheatre

Outdoor stage context from curved rising terraces.

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.

## 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.

## 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

## 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. |

See the maintained status in the changelog. Roadmap items are not availability promises.

## 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.

## 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.

The virtual seat view is a visual decision aid, not a checkout or venue-certified sightline. Interactive 3D · SDK guide
