Embed 3D Tours on Your Website

Add immersive Gaussian Splatting property tours to any website with a few lines of code. No build tools required.

Getting Started

Every published property in GaussianView gets an embeddable tour. To embed a tour on your website:

  1. Go to your property dashboard and make sure the property is published with an uploaded 3D tour file.
  2. Open the property's edit page — you'll see an Embed Widget card with ready-to-copy code.
  3. Paste the code into your website's HTML where you want the tour to appear.

There are two embedding methods: iframe (simplest) and script (more flexible). Both are shown below.

iframe Embed

The simplest way to embed a tour. Paste the iframe tag directly into your HTML. Replace YOUR_PROPERTY_ID with your property's ID.

<iframe
  src="https://gaussianview.com/embed/YOUR_PROPERTY_ID"
  width="100%"
  height="500"
  style="border:none;border-radius:8px"
  allowfullscreen
  allow="accelerometer; gyroscope; cross-origin-isolated"
  loading="lazy"
  title="3D Tour"
></iframe>

Script Embed

The script method auto-creates iframes from data-gaussianview attributes. Useful when you want to control sizing via data attributes or embed multiple tours with a single script tag.

<div
  data-gaussianview="YOUR_PROPERTY_ID"
  data-width="100%"
  data-height="500px"
></div>
<script src="https://gaussianview.com/embed.js" defer></script>

Multiple Tours

To embed multiple tours on the same page, use the script method. Add a data-gaussianview div for each property and include the script only once.

<div data-gaussianview="PROPERTY_ID_1" data-height="400px"></div>
<div data-gaussianview="PROPERTY_ID_2" data-height="400px"></div>

<!-- Only include the script once -->
<script src="https://gaussianview.com/embed.js" defer></script>

Customization

Style the embed with standard CSS. The iframe has a transparent background, so wrapping it in a styled container works well.

<div style="max-width:800px;margin:0 auto">
  <iframe
    src="https://gaussianview.com/embed/YOUR_PROPERTY_ID"
    width="100%"
    height="600"
    style="border:none;border-radius:12px;box-shadow:0 4px 24px rgba(0,0,0,0.12)"
    allowfullscreen
    allow="accelerometer; gyroscope; cross-origin-isolated"
    loading="lazy"
    title="3D Tour"
  ></iframe>
</div>

Responsive Layout

For a responsive 16:9 aspect ratio that scales with the viewport, use the padding-bottom trick:

<div style="position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden">
  <iframe
    src="https://gaussianview.com/embed/YOUR_PROPERTY_ID"
    style="position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:none;border-radius:8px"
    allowfullscreen
    allow="accelerometer; gyroscope; cross-origin-isolated"
    loading="lazy"
    title="3D Tour"
  ></iframe>
</div>

Attributes Reference

When using the script embed method, these data attributes control the widget:

AttributeRequiredDefaultDescription
data-gaussianviewYesThe property ID to display
data-widthNo100%Width of the embed (CSS value)
data-heightNo500pxHeight of the embed (CSS value)

Viewer Controls

Once a visitor clicks "Click to Enter Tour", they can navigate the space with these controls:

W A S DMove forward / left / back / right
ShiftSprint
SpaceJump
MouseLook around
ESCExit controls

Requirements

  • The property must be published and have an uploaded 3D tour file (.splat, .ply, or .ksplat).
  • The visitor's browser must support WebGL 2.0 (all modern browsers).

REST API

REST API

The GaussianView REST API lets you access your property data programmatically. Use it to build custom integrations, sync listings, or display property information in your own applications.

Base URL: https://gaussianview.com/api/v1

API Authentication

All API requests must include your API key in the Authorization header as a Bearer token. You can create and manage API keys from your dashboard.

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer gv_your_api_key" \
  https://gaussianview.com/api/v1/properties
  • API keys begin with gv_
  • Keep your API key secret — never expose it in client-side code
  • Revoked keys return 401 Unauthorized

GET /api/v1/properties

Returns all properties belonging to your firm, ordered by creation date (newest first).
