Kuula App
Project Overview
Virtual tour creation and sharing platform for real estate, hospitality, and education — 360-degree scenes, an editor non-technical users can run, and a share path that does not require a graphics team.
Kuula traffic is usually people who already know the product — or who need the same class of software: 360 capture, an editor a broker or marketer can finish, and a link that does not require a WebGL résumé. That is product engineering, not a campaign landing page.
The hard parts are not the hero panorama. They are upload and processing at scene size, an editor that does not strand a non-technical user, permissions on who can publish, and a share path that works on a phone. We treat that as software engineering plus creative design. If the next version is a native app, that is Maxiom Apps.
If you are still proving the interaction, start with a proof of concept on the riskiest scene path — not a six-month rewrite. If you already have users and a thin slice, that is MVP development. Proptech teams often arrive from the real estate MVP guide.
Need a squad inside your org rather than a product SOW? That is Maxiom Dev.
Building a 360 or virtual-tour product?
Kuula is what it looks like when the editor, the media path, and the share flow have to work for people who are not 3D specialists. If that is your next product, start with a scoping call. App-shaped work also lives at Maxiom Apps.

The Challenge
Creating and sharing immersive virtual tours required expensive equipment and technical expertise, limiting adoption across real estate, hospitality, and education.
Our Solution
Built an accessible platform for creating, editing, and sharing 360-degree virtual tours with an intuitive editor, cloud media, and a share flow that non-technical users can finish without a production house.
Technologies Used
Results & Impact
Democratized virtual tour creation and expanded adoption across real estate, hospitality, and education — a product path, not a one-off microsite.

Frequently asked questions
Did Maxiom build the Kuula virtual tour product?
Maxiom helped design and engineer the platform: 360 creation, editing, and sharing so non-technical users can publish tours without a production studio. The case study is the product path, not a one-page marketing site.
Can you build a 360 or virtual-tour product like Kuula?
Yes, when the job is a real product — editor, media pipeline, permissions, and share — not a single WebGL demo. Scope starts with which user finishes a tour without a specialist.
Is this a good fit for real estate virtual tours?
Often. Brokers and marketers are the usual operators. We still need your listing data, hosting, and who is allowed to publish. See also the real estate MVP guide if you are validating a thinner slice first.
Should we start with a proof of concept or an MVP?
PoC if the risk is the 360 pipeline or the editor itself. MVP if users already exist and you need a shippable slice. We will tell you which one on a 30-minute call.
Do you also ship native iOS and Android?
Yes, through Maxiom Apps when the product is app-shaped. The web editor and the native capture/viewer are often the same program with two surfaces.
How do engagements start?
A 30-minute scoping call, then written scope. NDA and least-privilege access before media or credentials. Senior engineers — not a junior bench wrapping Three.js.
What if we only need extra developers?
That is staff augmentation at Maxiom Dev, not a product SOW. Say so on the form so we do not sell you the wrong engagement.
