VEHICLE SPATIAL INTELLIGENCE

Halo understands the vehicle, so your staff do not have to frame every shot.

Most capture apps still expect the person holding the phone to frame every final shot. Halo shows your staff where to move, understands which part of the vehicle it can see, and knows what is still missing.

WHY THIS WORKS

Capture the vehicle up close. Let Halo build the listing views.

A conventional capture process asks the person holding the phone to frame each final shot and typically needs roughly 12 to 18 feet of clearance to frame the whole side across vehicle types. Halo changes the job. Your staff capture the vehicle in close-range sections with approximately 5 feet of clearance. Halo checks the coverage and builds the final views.

VSI SEQUENCE

Observe. Understand. Register. Guide. Verify.

Halo identifies the vehicle, understands where the phone is, guides the next capture, checks the coverage, and keeps the result with the VIN.

THE VIN-LINKED RECORD

Halo keeps the information a photo file leaves out.

Halo knows which vehicle the photo belongs to, what the job required, whether the capture is complete, and where the finished set needs to go.

IMAGE FILE

A photo that does not tell the next person why it was taken or whether anything is missing.

VIN-LINKED RECORD

The photos stay with the VIN, the capture job, the coverage check, and the delivery status.

SECURE LINK

Send the photo job to the person already near the vehicle.

A secure link opens the right vehicle and the right job on a supported phone. The person who requested the work does not need to be standing beside the vehicle.

BUILT FOR EXISTING TEAMS

Halo is designed for dealership staff using supported phones. The guidance replaces freehand framing with a step-by-step capture sequence that can be tested with your team during the POC.

REQUEST TO RESPONSE

The person at the vehicle does the capture. The person who asked for it gets the result.

Halo keeps the request, the capture, the finished photo set, and the delivery together so the job does not disappear between people or systems.

WHAT HALO KNOWS

Where the person is. What part of the vehicle Halo can see. What is still missing.

VSI does not treat every photo as interchangeable. It understands the vehicle, keeps track of the close-range sections already captured, and guides the person to the next one.

DEALERSHIP OPERATIONS

One rooftop shows whether the technology works in the real world.

The founding POC tests the whole photo job at one live rooftop: guided close-range capture, final views, approved background and finish, shared status, and delivery to one agreed destination.

PLATFORM DIRECTION

The same guided-observation model can support more than merchandising.

Merchandising is the first job. Over time, the same approach could help with appraisals, reconditioning, service, and other decisions that depend on seeing the vehicle. We call that longer-term direction Trusted Vehicle Observation Infrastructure.

FUTURE DIRECTION

Evidence Graph

Over time, vehicle observations can become relationships between VINs, people, sessions, requests, coverage, changes, and downstream decisions.

FUTURE DIRECTION

Visual Passport

A vehicle could carry a living visual passport that preserves what was observed, when it was observed, and which workflows relied on that record.

FUTURE DIRECTION

Provenance

C2PA could allow selected signed provenance assertions to travel with vehicle media. Provenance does not determine whether a depicted vehicle fact is true; it can make origin and change context inspectable.

Read the C2PA source note
FUTURE DIRECTION

Change and review

When a new observation differs from the trusted record, Halo can surface a change signal and route review before teams publish or act.

CHANGE SIGNALREVIEW REQUIRED
API AND AGENT SURFACE

Objects that can ask for evidence.

A trusted observation layer becomes more useful when software, partners, and future agents can request evidence and receive structured context instead of unverified image files.
