The main benefits of Matterport are it helps you provide prospects, customers, and other stakeholders with immersive experiences by generating 3D digital twins of spaces, streamlines important processes associated with your business or profession, and allows easy collaboration on physical spaces. Here are the details:

Immersive Experiences 

Matterport is a virtual tour software that helps you produce and deliver immersive and interactive experiences so you can attract potential prospects and customers, generate higher profits, and grow your business. Real estate property owners, managers, brokers, and agents; professional photographers, and travel and hospitality business owners are using this platform to easily and quickly generate 3D digital twins of the properties or spaces they are promoting. 

The platform offers an application that you can install on your iPhone or iPad or connect with any camera compatible with Matterport like a 360, 3D, or lidar camera. With this application, you’ll be able to capture any physical spaces along with all important data about those spaces such as visual imageries, depths, and dimensions. 

Matterport, then, allows you to immediately create 3D digital twins out of the captured physical spaces. You can edit and customize these 3D digital twins of the physical spaces and transform them into 3D walkthroughs, video tours, and virtual reality presentations.

As a result, potential prospects and customers get the chance to view and explore your properties or spaces as if they are actually present in those environments or places at the moment. You can showcase various aspects and attributes of your spaces that they may find interesting, give them an idea of what they should expect from buying or using such spaces, and offer the properties or spaces that match their specific preferences, needs, and requirements. 

Accelerated Processes

The 3D digital twin platform is built with capabilities that help you execute and complete processes related to your business or profession much easier and faster. For instance, Matterport can simplify your processes if you’re involved in facility management. 

You can capture and document existing facilities including all the equipment and assets found within them. Matterport automatically generates media assets such as schematic floor plans, 3D virtual tours, 3D point clouds, 4K print-quality photos, GIF animations, and OBJ, JPG, XYZ, and PDF files.  You can import these media assets into the BIM programs you’re using so you can analyze and assess the present attributes and conditions of facilities and enhance their designs. 

The platform, moreover, lets you immediately identify specific objects within a facility. This way, you’ll be able to quickly create a complete and accurate record of all the equipment and assets found in the facility. You can also add digital labels or tags to equipment and assets to give personnel the information and guidelines they need for maintenance and repair activities. 

Easy Collaboration

Matterport provides you and your colleagues or other stakeholders with an easy way to collaborate with each other. You can share 3D digital twins of spaces and media assets with team members by sending them links via email. Team members can access and view the digital twins and media assets from anywhere at any time on any device. This way, they’ll be able to remotely inspect and evaluate properties, buildings, or spaces without visiting them personally.

Additionally, the platform allows you to invite collaborators in a cloud-based workspace so that they can upload, access, and edit 3D digital twins. Matterport also streamlines collaborations through its measurement tool. With this tool, you can automatically generate measurements for various aspects or components of a space, such as items, walls, doors, and windows. This improves the productivity of your team, as you and your colleagues no longer need to waste time figuring out and adding important data about physical spaces.

You can extend the capabilities of Matterport to other tools as well to develop apps and functionalities using 3D data from the platform, optimize your spaces, and deliver more immersive and interactive experiences to end-users.
