To receive a virtual walkthrough, you will first need to scan the interior spaces with the Hover app. From start to finish, the average interior LiDAR scan for a property only takes 15 minutes, and you will receive the virtual walkthrough in about a minute!
If you don't have a LiDAR device (iPhone 12 Pro and later, iPad Pro 2020 and later), you can use our alternative universal scan experience.
Hover turns interior scans into immersive 360° virtual floor plans for an in-depth view of any space, making it even easier to resolve claims quickly, even if you never step foot onsite!

Photos in context
Photos from the Hover scan are localized in the model with the ability to view all or just the damage photos.
Localized photos:
Any small white dot that you see in the model indicates a localized photo. To see these photos in the model:
Click the eye icon in the top right corner
Click the photo icon (to add or remove non-damage photos)
Hover your mouse over the dot to see a preview of the photo*, or click the dot to see the photo overlayed with the virtual mesh.
Damage photos:
If damage photos were taken during the scanning process, they will be localized in the model as well and will be indicated with red dots. Unlike the white dots for non-damage photos, there is no option to hide them - the red dots are always visible so that you never have to search for the damaged areas.
Hover your mouse over the dot to see a preview of the photo, or click the dot to see the photo overlayed with the virtual mesh.
*Note: The field of vision indicator is only available on desktop. Tap and hold a photo spot to preview on mobile.
