Giraffe360 hosts its fourth educational webinar designed to help real estate photographers evolve into full-service media partners.



The Giraffe360 webinar features:



✓ Giraffe360 Founder & CEO Mikus Opelts

✓ Giraffe360 Chief Customer Officer Samy Jeffries

✓ Giraffe360 Lead Product Manager Ainars Klavins



The three discuss the four eras of real estate media technology, agent expectations in today’s market, and a technical deep dive into SLAM (Simultaneous Localization And Mapping)—the “silent unlocker” behind AI-powered media creation.



Key Takeaways



✓ Four eras of real estate media: From MLS books in the 1980s → DSLR boom and Zillow in the 2000s → immersive tools like Matterport and drones in the 2010s → to today’s AI-driven, unified media pipelines.

✓ Shift in buyer expectations: Millennials and Gen Z demand video, virtual tours, and lifestyle content—professional-grade media is no longer optional.

✓ Agent priorities: Survey data shows U.S. Realtors rank quality, speed, range of deliverables, and ease of booking as top factors when choosing a media partner.

✓ Expanding deliverables: HDR photos, floor plans, virtual tours, cinematic fly-throughs, and social-ready content are now expected as part of the standard listing package.

✓ SLAM technology: Accurate AI workflows depend on tracking. Giraffe PRO’s advanced sensor fusion (LiDAR, IMU, barometer, GPS) ensures consistent, scalable floor plans, tours, and videos.

✓ New releases: Virtual tour sky replacement, in-tour object removal, 3rd-gen AI editing, and improved Listing Spotlight outputs.
