Sky View vs Sky Tour
Below are two examples. The one on the right is a Sky Tour, which is a collection of interactive panoramas. The one on the left is a Sky View with photos, meaning a single interactive panorama that has various photos linked into it.
Sky View only vs w/Pictures
You may want a single simple clean Sky View only. Or you may enjoy the Sky View w/Pictures so that the viewer has a better perspective on where certain photos were taken. Connecting photos helps the viewer navigate a piece of property in a manner of self navigating based off of the attached images, whether ground level or aerial.
Available Features
Sky Views and Sky Tours allow for the inclusion of many different elements. When you see the icons, you’ll know what they are.
when linked to an outside source, such as a property website, listing page, Zillow tour, etc., there is no way to link from their back into the sky view or sky tour. Matterport does have a means of creating a meta-tag that can be used to go from the virtual tour back to the sky view. Otherwise you will have to manually exit and go back to the original link to access the sky tour or sky view again.

Problem Areas
Because panoramas are very particular in order for images to align correctly, some factors can make getting these panoramas difficult. Since these are captured with a drone, the camera is not on a solid structure like a tripod and so is vulnerable to wind. Even a 10 mph breeze can cause enough drift in the drone to make alignment impossible. This issue is more common when closer to ground level. Getting upwards of close to 50 feet off the ground helps to reduce this issue.
Another issue is when clouds are moving in and out, causing moving shadows along the ground. This can change the exposures between captures and therefore either effect the alignment, or create some unsightly final renditions.
So with concerns like these, we have to be a bit particular or risk giving you a final product that is less than desired.
