  • Matterport – Accelerating the AEC Industry

    Register for Space Jam, the Matterport event series that showcases how our partners enhance Matterport offering and provide your customers with immersive experiences

    Blog Source: Matterport

    Architects, engineers, and construction professionals are quickly discovering the power of Matterport digital twins through every stage of their project cycles. Capturing and leveraging a digital twin ensures a solid project foundation, and as professionals across the AEC industry understand, a strong foundation is vital to the success of each and every project.

    With that strong foundation, Matterport has continued to grow and evolve while staying laser (level) focused on the needs of end-users. We recently released a Notes feature, which is especially useful when several stakeholders, from a team of architects to a GC, are looking to make project updates or callouts. Notes supports a high level of collaboration across teams and projects, but is just the start. While Matterport supports notes, measurements, and even a scan-to-BIM file add-on for users, Platform Partners have taken digital twins to the next level.

    Explore the offerings below and join us on February 24 for Space Jam, the Matterport Platform Partner Demo event.  Learn how Partners can transform the way you work. Bring your questions because Partners will demo their products and stick around for live Q&A. Come ready to vote on your favorite presentation!

    Do you need to censor something in your Matterport Tour, say a family photo, signage, license plates? Inside your Matterport Account, in the Edit Mode of a Showcase model, is the Blur Brush.

    The Blur Brush is brand new and we couldn’t be more excited to show it off. Many of you have been patiently waiting for this tool to help boost privacy and control over what to hide in your Matterport spaces. This, however, is only the beginning. What Amir covers in this video is only version 1.0 of the Blur Brush. As the tool develops, we’ll be adding new videos and linking to them from here.

This could be an inspection report, a quality control review, safety inspection, or a work plan for a site on how to repair and maintain a property. With their API, you can take this 3D data and place it in the tools you use every day, or keep it with them and have complete, instant access to the issues that your teams need to address.

    Matterport Capture app for Android is officially here!

    This article was originally published by Kirk Stromberg and Matterport on the Matterport Blog.

    With Capture now generally available on Google Play, anyone can Matterport their space using a Pro2 or their favorite 360 camera.

    When it comes to helping you digitize physical spaces, we’ve always believed the less friction the better. It’s your world, and we want to help you capture it.

    That’s why when we shipped our first 3D camera, we paired it with the Matterport Capture app so that anyone could download it on their iPhone or iPad and use it to scan spaces in a simple and intuitive way. As we expanded our lineup of supported cameras to include 3D LiDAR scanners, 360 cameras, and even the camera on your iPhone, the Capture app on iOS was always at the center of our user experience because we wanted to make using Matterport easy, flexible, and instantly familiar.

    Capture for Android works as flexibly and simply as on iOS, making it a cinch to connect a Matterport Pro2 or six of the most popular 360 cameras made by our partners, Insta360 and Ricoh. So if you or your company already uses the Matterport platform, the free app can be downloaded onto the compatible Android devices you already own, making it fast and easy to mobilize more people on your team to capture spaces.

    If you don’t own a compatible camera, check out the options below. The Matterport Pro2 is the right pick if you are scanning a large volume of spaces and high accuracy and image quality are important to you. If portability and affordability are key factors, then choose a 360 camera. They are a great choice for scanning small to medium size spaces. You can compare cameras here.

    Check out this video to see how easy it is to get started. And then download the free Matterport Capture app on Google Play today. We’re excited to know what you think.
