The capture problem
Traditional 360° photography requires expensive equipment, careful setup, and significant post-processing. A single panorama can take 30 minutes to shoot and hours to stitch. For a small business owner, that's not practical.
We designed Teleport to eliminate every friction point. The entire capture workflow runs on a standard iPhone — no accessories, no manual alignment, no desktop editing.
Guided stop-and-snap
The capture flow uses ARKit to track your position and orientation in real time. As you rotate in place, the app presents 34 target positions arranged in a sphere around you. At each position, you pause briefly while the app captures a high-resolution frame.
The guided overlay shows exactly where to point next, with real-time feedback on alignment and coverage. Most users complete all 34 captures in 40–50 seconds.
Metal GPU stitching
Once all frames are captured, the stitching pipeline runs entirely on-device using Metal compute shaders. The GPU blends overlapping frames, corrects exposure differences, and projects everything onto an equirectangular panorama.
The result is a seamless, full-sphere 360° image ready for upload. Stitching typically completes in 5–10 seconds on recent iPhones — no cloud processing, no waiting.
Upload and publish
After stitching, the panorama is uploaded to our CDN and attached to your chosen room. A thumbnail is generated automatically, quality scoring runs in the background, and your tour goes live. The entire journey — from opening the camera to having a shareable link — takes about 60 seconds.
We believe the best spatial capture tool is the one you already have in your pocket.
