One of the benefits that we’ve seen to virtual tours is the use of the dollhouse and floorplan function in order to plan renovations/buildouts. The fact that you can see exactly where things are going before you put them in is a huge boon. You can also do before and after scans of common renovation […]
The other day I was tasked with scanning a warehouse that had been built out into an indoor playground. The warehouse measured around 15000 square feet and half of it had significant buildout, from offices and party rooms, to bathrooms and reception. So I put my Matterport thinking hat on, and thought about the best, […]
One trick to get more use out of your camera is using the 3D views option to get still images for your own use. However, did you know that there is no scan component to these? This opens up the camera to some more “flexibility”, especially those of us who are lucky enough to have […]
So for this tip, I’ve got a quick time saving tip for scanning an entire floor all at once, and then breaking it up into segments. We did this as the current space is one large contiguous area, but we were considering dividing it up to better suit our future tenant’s needs. So on top […]
Sterling Village Center is where I’ve done a number of virtual tours used in examples for tips and tricks that I’ve posted. For instance, the bakery I’ve previously discussed along with the convenience store are both located here. The main perk of shooting here is the delicious food at Buffalo Wing Factory though. Its some […]
An extremely valuable use for the Matterport Camera is documenting renovations. This is especially helpful when you have contracted renovations out to someone else. You can use the same scans and take multiple tours of the same space, without having to be charged for a reupload. We use this to show off the various finishes […]
Sterling Village Center. A pretty Zen little shopping center next to a buddhist temple. We generally recommend keeping your shoes on before walking inside any of the shops or restaurants here. One unique offering that we have for this particular center is a turn-key bakery. I had a blast shooting the virtual tour for this […]
One big complaint I often see on Matterport support or on the matterport forums is how hard stairs are to scan. And I don’t disagree! But there are ways to make scanning stairs easier and more methodical. Here are some tricks I picked up along the way! Keep scans on the stairs, save landings for […]
Don’t be this guy. Who is me. I shouldn’t have to say this, but getting caught in reflective surfaces and thus being part of your scans is not a good look. Whether it be a mirror, glass surface, or just an oddly shiny wall, try to position yourself so that the camera does not catch […]
Sometimes you can get a little extra out of your scans if you’re crafty enough. In this building, we have one large suite with 14000 square feet. We’re thinking about dividing it up into 3 different spaces. We wanted to be able to visually look at the tours and the floor plans for each unique […]
One fun aspect of commercial real estate versus residential real estate is using the scans from your commercial spaces to directly visualize changes to a space before you make them. Matterport has the ability to general floorplans using the same scanner that you use for your virtual tours. Take a look at 226 Maple Avenue, […]
Hello, and sorry about the break! Had a bit too much fun over the fourth! But boy am I excited to talk to you about Virtual Reality (side note, good company name and tongue twister: Virtual Realty Virtual Reality). I know I harp on this all the time, but Virtual Reality in Matterport tours is […]
When you experiment with your Matterport 3D camera and its Cloud, one feature that can make a tour more special is Mattertags. Mattertags allow you to embed media and websites within the tour to enhance the tour experience.Here are a couple uses for Mattertags that I’ve used personally. Equipment or furniture description: In the case of, […]
Today I took on an interesting space: A Bakery located in Sterling, Virginia, at the Sterling Village Center (Check out the tours from here). This space was quick and fun to shoot, but always a bit challenging to stay out of the shot on. Almost everything in the right side was reflective somehow! I used was more […]
Today I’ll be talking about something that is the most important thing for immersion in tours. Immersion is important, because although you aren’t there to give the tour in person, you want to make the viewer feel like they are walking the space, and not just looking at a more detailed floor plan. Unfortunately, this […]
One of the biggest challenges in commercial real estate is turnover. Sometimes, you’re trying to lease a space before a tenant has even moved out. Such was the case in a current scan I did for one of out properties: In-and-Out Market located at Sterling Village Center. The biggest challenge was my timing. The only time […]
3D views are often a misunderstood tool. There’s a common misconception that their only use is for lower resolution exterior photos for when you’ve forgotten your real camera. While that is a totally legitimate use (I’ve done it) there are plenty of other ways to leverage this tool to make your scans really stand out. […]
If you’re like me, Matterport is probably not 100% of your job. I also have many responsibilities around the office. So when I’m in a bind, but I know I have to get a tour put together, I like to think about what the most efficient way to go about my tour, without sacrificing quality. […]
Ever scan a large office building, only for your model to be off? I know I have. Nothing like the camera getting confused by long hallways, or the infamous cubicle rows to REALLY brighten your day. I faced this struggle on a 12000sf scan of mine recently and had to be quick on my feet […]
Today, bright and early, I set out to do a relatively routine scan for a relatively routine purpose: For a floor plan. We currently use the space as a short term storage for all of the things we use to keep our properties in great shape, so there are myriad piles of things all around. […]
Sterling Village Center. I used to come here all the time to indulge in Buffalo Wing Factory, and their all-you-can-eat wings back in high school. Now that I’m older, the place is even better since I can partake in their great craft beer selection. But enough reminiscing, and onto the meat of this blog: Virtual […]
226 Maple Avenue, West, in Vienna. Talk about a building that went through a bit of a renaissance. I love whats been done with the interior finishes here, probably my favorite common areas of any of our buildings. The way the walls and floor have been done really makes the spaces pop. Take a look […]
