Aether Studio turns a single capture into unlimited tour variants and publication-ready videos — with self-serve editing, built-in hotspots, on-demand 4K rendering, and one embed code that never needs to change. Now available to all existing Aether customers.
Aether Studio is now available to all Threshold 360 customers already using Aether. Here's what's included.
One capture, infinite reuse
The same space gets re-cut per use case — event sales, RFPs, proposals, membership marketing — each customized to a specific prospect or campaign. One capture amortizes across every deal.
Self-serve flythroughs
Build unlimited camera paths through your own space by dropping keyframes, previewing, and saving. A new angle or missed feature used to mean scheduling a re-shoot and a camera crew. Now it takes a few minutes in the browser, and the location is already captured so new tours cost nothing extra.
On-demand video rendering up to 4K/60fps
Any tour renders to 720p, 1080p, QHD, or 4K at 24, 30, or 60fps. Output a video, an interactive tour, or both. No production house required for routine marketing clips.
Hotspots with rich embedded content
Name any point of interest and attach rich text, icons, images, embedded video (including YouTube clips of the space), and multiple call-to-action links — Book Now, Contact Sales, Get More Info, and more. Clicking a hotspot repositions the camera to showcase that spot. Hotspots placed on a location automatically appear across every tour variant of that location, so you place once and they propagate everywhere.
Stable embed code — edit forever without touching your site
The embed code never changes when you edit the tour. Update the experience as often as you like without pulling in a developer or touching your website.
Cinematic camera controls
Elevation lock, adjustable field of view (widen to make smaller rooms feel larger — a standard hotel and real estate trick), variable speed, overhead and floor-plan views, and drone-style flythroughs — with no drone, no crane, and no crew. This also works indoors where drones are prohibited by insurance, building rules, or local law.
Automatic people removal
Capture tech strips bystanders out of the space by default. No face-blurring, no privacy releases, no licensing concerns — a clean, empty space every time.
On-device rendering — no metered bandwidth bill
Tours render on the viewer's own device, so there's no per-view bandwidth charge that scales with traffic. You can deploy a tour everywhere without a variable monthly cost discouraging usage.
Passive-by-default, interactive-by-choice
If the viewer does nothing, it plays like a video. If they want to explore, they can. Works for non-technical audiences with zero learning curve and can be cut to roughly 20 seconds when attention span is short.
Done-for-you authoring
If you'd rather not build tours or hotspots yourself, the customer care team does it from whatever assets you provide.
Social publishing in about ten minutes
Export a tour video formatted correctly for Facebook, Instagram, or X without a graphics agency.
When someone books a capture through our public booking page, we now match them to the right local partner based on the venue’s address — no more picking from a list.
Enter the venue’s address and we work out which partner covers that area, then route the booking to them.
If a venue sits in an area covered by more than one partner, you’ll see a short list to choose from. And if it falls outside current coverage, our team is notified so we can follow up and arrange the capture manually.
Scheduling a capture across time zones no longer means doing the maths in your head — appointment times now default to the venue’s local time.
On the capture details page you can switch between Location time and My time. Location time is the default, and whichever view you’re in is labelled clearly, so there’s never any doubt which clock you’re looking at.
Your main calendar continues to show everything in your own time zone.
Forward a capture invite to a colleague and they now receive an email written for exactly that situation, so it’s clear who sent it and what happens next.
Previously a forwarded invite reused the original invite wording, which could be confusing for someone receiving it second-hand.
This is especially useful when our scheduling team books an appointment on your behalf and then passes the invite on to your on-site contact.
Customers using SimpleView or Tempest can now connect their listing platform to Threshold 360 and sync location records automatically, instead of maintaining them by hand in two systems.
Once a location is linked, its listing information is kept in sync automatically — no more updating the same record in both platforms.
There is also a review flow for imported listings, so you can match each one to an existing Threshold location or create a new location where no match exists.
You can now move an existing map into another Map Project while keeping the same share link and embed code, so any map already embedded on your website keeps working.
Previously, putting an existing map into another Map Project meant copying it. That created a separate map with a new share link and embed code, so it was easy to update the copy while the map actually embedded on your site stayed unchanged.
From the three-dot menu next to a map:
If you are reorganising maps into folders and do not want to break anything already shared or embedded, use Move to Project.
