A Matterport survey produces an immersive, user-friendly, photo-realistic model of a building and smaller outside areas. The Matterport allows for quick capture of data and speedy translation into a layout which the user can easily navigate via Matterport cloud hosting.
Matterport models are particularly useful for:
- Marketing and Estate Agency (virtual tours)
- Documentation of build progress
- Immersive visualisation
- Remote access
Matterport cameras use structured-light or LiDAR sensors depending on model and are also capable of producing point cloud outputs and interactive measurement tools. Although not as accurate as a true survey-grade scan (from a Leica RTC 360 for example), they can are a highly useful and versatile tool in the field of reality capture.
