Matterport

What is Matterport?

Matterport is an advanced platform designed to digitize physical spaces into highly accurate, interactive 3D models known as digital twins. Its mission is to make every building and space more valuable, understandable, and accessible to a global audience. Users can capture environments using supported 3D cameras, 360-degree cameras, or simply their standard smartphones. Once captured, Matterport's proprietary AI technology, Cortex, automatically stitches the spatial data together to create a photorealistic 3D virtual tour. This technology serves professionals in real estate, construction, retail, and facilities management by enabling remote collaboration, virtual walkthroughs, and spatial planning.

How to use Matterport?

To use Matterport, start by downloading the Matterport app on your smartphone or connecting a compatible 3D or 360 camera to your mobile device. Scan your physical space by placing the camera on a tripod and capturing panoramas from multiple viewpoints sequentially throughout the area. Upload the captured spatial data to the Matterport cloud platform, where its AI engine processes and stitches the images into a complete 3D digital twin. Once the 3D model is generated, you can edit it, add informational tags, extract 2D floor plans, and share the interactive virtual tour with clients or team members via a web link.
