The panoramic stitching provides a high-resolution 360º room representation in one browsable image.

To inspect room state for insurance purpose:
- evidence in case of claims: insurer can see the room state before and after the claim
Combined with other Sphere services, the module enables:
- room recognition/environment type
- items identification; e.g. structural, safety-device, risk-related
- material distribution

The image is suitable for annotating components.

Room type recognition is extremely helpful to build a home digital inventory with minimal user intervention.

Home layout from pictures only
- After the acquisition, policyholders get the room type as a tag in the room list
- No further user interaction required
Home layout is extremely important for insurance pricing
- The portfolio can be analysed and optimised by knowing the number of rooms of the property, and the related room types

The item recognition service provides users with high-quality identification of objects in a picture.

This feature allows the identification of items, with a specific focus on:
- structural elements; e.g. doors, windows, stairs, balconies, …
- safety devices; e.g. fire extinguisher, smoke detector, sprinklers, motion detectors, …
Each item can be further described with tags:
- Ontologies make information enrichment easy, aided, and substantially effortless
A QR/bar code reader is available to easily get details on appliances.

The information is provided both as:
- patches over the image
- area distribution
