WGAN Forum Podcast

Commentary and analysis by Dan Smigrod Founder and Managing Editor We Get Around Network Forum and WGAN-TV Podcast Here are nine thoughts on the Matterport layoffs announced on Tuesday, July 11, 2023 – around 170 employees … 30 percent of the company – by the end of 2023. Matterport Service Providers – Matterport Service Providers (MSPs) are unlikely to notice a difference, including Matterport Support requests. Matterport Partners – Matterport Partners are unlikely to notice a difference (except fewer Matterport Partners recruited as a result of fewer Matterport Partner business development sales people.) Unfortunately, Matterport is likely focused on “How do we generate revenue from Matterport Partners?” rather than “How do we create value for the Matterport ecosystem to raise all boats?” Matterport Employees – Remaining Matterport employees are likely wondering why management took so long to reduce or eliminate redundancies created by the acquisition of VHT Studios [though VHT Studios employees are likely those that stay (since they have subject matter expertise in residential real estate]; and by international expansion in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) with separate fiefdoms. (My heart goes out to those let go. If you are one of those affected, keep in mind that when one door closes, other doors open and as a Matterport former employee, you will likely end up with a position that takes advantage of your expertise and you will likely be paid more.) Letting go 30 percent of its workforce may make Matterport recruiting challenging going forward. Matterport Competitors – Matterport competitors for residential real estate will continue to make inroads where “good enough” is good enough. For clarification, as I have previously discussed, Matterport’s sweet spot is spatial data at scale for enterprise. For many real estate agents, spatial data may not matter: they just want a 360 virtual tour to make that point with potential listing clients. Three-Sixty virtual tours can often be shot faster than a Matterport digital twin and thus cost less from a MSP. In the AEC space, Matterport also faces competition: either capture that can be done 20 times faster such as “walking” a construction site weekly with a 360 camera (using photogrammetry or videogrammetry to construct a 3D model); or the Level of Detail (LOD) needed exceeds what the Matterport Pro3 Camera or Leica BLK360 scanner are capable of providing. Matterport Technology – About Matterport technology, Artificial Intelligence (AI) meets spatial data continues to be THE story for Matterport. Matterport AI recent “coming soon” announcements – such as Matterport Genesis announced on June 14, 2023 and Property Intelligence (anything with counting assets) announced on April 7, 2023 and Intelligent Digital Twins – are so significant, they are reasons why enterprises considering digital twin options should seriously consider Matterport (for what is coming, rather than what is). Matterport Investors – For Matterport investors, while Matterport’s stock received an initial “sucker rally” bump when it announced the layoffs on Tuesday, July 11, 2023, I have concern about the Matterport executive team selling stock, as indicated by recent SEC filings. More than 50 percent of Matterport stockholders are individual investors according to Simply Wall Street in a post today (Monday, July 17, 2023). Matterport Headwind – I have always thought – and written about – Matterport trying to do too much at one time. It’s super-hard to innovate when you are expanding in multiple verticals, multiple countries, multiple SDK/Reseller Partners, multiple languages and adding government sales channels. Each initiative requires tech sources. Setting priorities can be challenging. In 2019, Jotform Founder and CEO Aytekin Tank succinctly summarized this as, “When a company tries to do too much too soon, they spread themselves too thin, muddling their purpose and overextending resources. They end up with a handful of okay products or features instead of one done really well.” Matterport competitors are often focused on one vertical such as residential real estate or construction of commercial spaces. As a result, Matterport competitors are often innovating at a much faster pace. Just two examples are: 1) Matterport floor plan view that should be the Matterport schematic floor plan; and 2) a mini-map view should show where the viewer is within the model. (These should be core features of Matterport: not relying on third-party platforms to offer these solutions.) Matterport Competes with Its Customers – Matterport competes with its customers - such as Matterport Service Providers with its Capture Services On Demand business and VHT Studios and with its Matterport Partner distributors (by selling direct and via Amazon). It’s unlikely the layoffs will affect Matterport continuing to compete with its customers. (Matterport is also likely using its customers’ models to train its AI, whic

In a Matterport blog post today (Tuesday, July 11, 2023), Matterport CEO RJ Pittman announced Matterport layoffs. ==== "reduction of approximately 170 roles, or 30% of its workforce", according to the Matterport 8-K filed with the SEC today. ==== Also today, We Get Around Network Forum Founder and Managing Editor Dan Smigrod announced that Matterport employees that have been let go are welcome to post to the WGAN Forum - at no charge - that they are seeking their next full-time employment opportunity, where they are located and include a link to their LinkedIn profile. The following is the verbatim text of the Matterport blog posted on Tuesday, July 11, 2023 by Matterport Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors RJ Pittman. Accelerating Toward a Data-Driven Future Navigating the challenges of disruptive innovation by RJ Pittman. July 11, 2023 Today we’re making some significant changes at Matterport to help us achieve our strategic priorities faster and more efficiently. As part of our ongoing effort to optimize our global workforce and improve operating efficiency, we are reorganizing to streamline business operations. As a result, we have made the difficult decision to eliminate certain roles across the company, and start the process to evaluate possible redundancies in EMEA. We are saying goodbye to world-class professionals who will go on to do incredible things in their careers, and we will support them in the best way we can. I send my heartfelt thanks and gratitude to each and every Matterpeep that has helped shape the very special, industry-leading company we are today. --- The text continues in the We Get Around Network Forum (www.WeGetAroundNetworkForum.com): https://www.wegetaroundnetwork.com/topic/18861/page/1/layoffs-announced-by-matterport-ceo-rj-pittman--11-july-2023/

Commentary and analysis by Dan Smigrod Founder and Managing Editor We Get Around Network Forum and WGAN-TV Podcast Hi All, Imagine OpenAI's GPT-4 meets Matterport digital twin. Magical! Stunning! Amazing! Unbelievable! Extraordinary! There are not enough adjectives in the English language to adequately describe the significance of the announcement today (14 June 2023) of Matterport Genesis AI meets Matterport digital twins. While Matterport’s sweet spot has always been spatial data at scale for enterprise, Matterport generative AI - magic - has the potential to make competitors irrelevant. As Matterport illustrates in its Matterport Genesis video, imagine typing in a Matterport digital twin of a house (or commercial office space) and hitting, "Generate" ... 1. Can you defurnish my house? 2. Use a mix of my existing furniture and some new furniture. 3. What if my house had a rustic look? 4. Optimize for natural lighting and not blocking the windows. 5. Actually, let’s see what it looks like using Mid-Century Modern furniture. 6. How many people could I fit on this floor with an open floor plan? 7. Add more collaboration space. While Matterport Genesis generative AI shows how a 3D digital twin (spatial data) easily makes a 360 tour irrelevant for anything beyond a simple walkthrough experience, Matterport competitors that offer true 3D digital twins - without generative AI - may be irrelevant as 3D digital twin customers recognize what is possible with Matterport Genesis AI. Quoting from the Matterport media release, here are five (5) use cases: --- Commentary by Dan Smigrod continues in the We Get Around Network Forum (www.WGANForum.com) https://www.wegetaroundnetwork.com/topic/18777/page/1/matterport-genesis-generative-ai-magicwill-it-make-competitors-irrelevant/

(Nasdaq: MTTR) (“Matterport” or the “Company”), the leading spatial data company driving the digital transformation of the built world, today announced financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. “We are off to a great start in 2023, with first quarter revenue of $38 million; $2 million above the high end of our guidance range, along with strong outperformance on the bottom line with a Non-GAAP net loss per share of $0.07, as we accelerate our path to profitability,” said RJ Pittman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Matterport. “We set new records across our key metrics with Spaces Under Management reaching 9.9 million by the end of the quarter, more than double the number of spaces we managed at the start of 2021, and we just crossed the 10 million spaces milestone last month,” Pittman added. --- Matterport media release continues in the We Get Around Network (WGAN) Forum (www.WeGetAroundNetworkForum.com).

Matterport to Announce Subscription Prices Changes on Tuesday, May 16, 2023 According to We Get Around Network (WGAN) sources, Matterport will: 1. announce Matterport subscription price changes on Tuesday, May 16 2023 in an email and blog post 2. also announce additional Matterport subscription price plans 3. brief its channel partners on its subscription price changes on Monday, May 15, 2023 at 11 am ET Also according to WGAN sources, the Matterport briefing of its resellers had originally been scheduled for 11 am ET today (Tuesday, 9 May 2023: same day as the Matterport first quarter 2023 financial results. WGAN sources did not comment on if price changes will affect Matterport classic pricing customers, as first reported in the We Get Around Network email newsletter and then in this WGAN Forum discussion: => Matterport to Add Recurring Hosting Charge for Archive Models? Since Matterport did not brief its resellers today - as originally planned - I could imagine that Matterport will not announce any pricing changes during the Matterport first quarter 2023 financial results at 4:30 pm ET today (Tuesday, 9 May 2023). WGAN-TV Live at 5 will hold a live Town Hall on New Matterport Pricing in 2023 - via Zoom - at 5 pm ET on Wednesday, May 17, 2023 for Matterport Service Providers to share and discuss how the new Matterport pricing affects them.

Commentary and Analysis by: Dan Smigrod Founder and Managing Editor We Get Around Network and WGAN-TV Podcast Matterport will likely brief Matterport Channel Partners on Tuesday, May 9, 2023 on new Matterport pricing in 2023 – that includes a hosting charge for Matterport archived spaces, according to sources. If true, a charge for cloud hosting for archived Matterport spaces could potentially generate millions of dollars in new annual recurring revenue for Matterport (and reduce Matterport’s expense for Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud storage. Tuesday, May 9, 2023 is also the day Matterport announces first quarter 2023 fiscal results during a live webcast with financial analysts. Given that Matterport stock (NASDAQ: MTTR) is down 92 percent from its all time high ($27.86 per share) and closed Friday, April 28, 2023 at $2.33: $0.02 above its all time low of $2.31 per share, I imagine that Matterport will also announce this potential multi-million dollar annual recurring revenue stream during this live webcast ( that anyone can listen to. The dial-in number at 4:30 pm ET will be 412-902-4209, conference ID: 10176795 ). Matterport did a scheduled Matterport Cloud maintenance on Saturday, April 15, 2023 that included the Matterport Shopping Cart; Matterport Purchases and Matterport Model Processing. This may be further evidence of potential hosting charges for Matterport spaces. I am just speculating here that Matterport could conceivably generate $108 million in new annual recurring revenue if it charged $1 per month per space in hosting 9 million Matterport spaces. I imagine that potential new cloud hosting charges for archived models do not apply to Matterport Classic Pricing that already includes cloud hosting charges. Matterport does not break-out subscription revenue by Classic Pricing, New Pricing and Enterprise Pricing. And, I imagine that cloud hosting charges would not apply to Enterprise contracts until if/when renegotiated). Matterport has 9.2 million spaces under management as of December 31, 2022,” according to the 2023 Matterport 10-K Form filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on 27 April 2023. I imagine new charges for hosting would be effective 30 days after the Matterport customers’ current monthly billing; or effective with the annual billing renewal. Suggestion: upgrade to a Matterport annual contract prior to Tuesday, 9 May 2023. This may delay the potential new hosting charge – or other potential pricing changes – for 12 months. I could imagine that Matterport will also announce that it will start enforcing gaming Matterport Classic Pricing and Matterport New Pricing as I described in the WGAN Forum four years ago (See: How to game the new Matterport Pricing) which enable Matterport Classic pricing customers to “transfer spaces from “New” to “Classic” plans for free: something that Matterport announced it would stop effective 31 January 2021, according to a Matterport eBlast of 31 January 2021, but may not have. --- Commentary and Analysis continues in the We Get Around Network Forum (www.WGANForum.com).

► Redfin Media Release: https://wgan.info/Redfin1 ► Synthesia AI Avatars: https://wgan.info/Synthesia ► We Get Around Network Forum https://www.WGANForum.com --- The demand for vacation homes has decreased by a staggering 52% from pre-pandemic levels, according to a recent report by Redfin, the technology-powered real estate brokerage. Mortgage-rate locks for second homes hit their lowest point since 2016 in February, with March not far behind. During the pandemic, second-home demand skyrocketed, with mortgage-rate locks peaking at 89% above pre-pandemic levels in August 2020. This boom was fueled by affluent Americans seeking vacation properties due to low mortgage rates, remote work opportunities, and travel restrictions. However, six factors have contributed to the sharp decline in second-home demand: 1. The high cost of vacation homes, with the average second home valued at $465,000 compared to $375,000 for primary homes. Additionally, the federal government increased loan fees for second homes in April 2022. 2. Second homes being a luxury rather than a necessity, leading buyers to pull back from the market. 3. The gradual return to office work, reducing the appeal of second homes. 4. The decreasing attractiveness of buying vacation homes for rental purposes, due to a saturated short-term rental market and cooling long-term rental market. 5. Shrinking bank accounts as stock markets decline, reducing available funds for down payments and monthly payments. 6. Many potential second-home buyers having already made their purchases during the 2020 and 2021 pandemic homebuying boom. Redfin Deputy Chief Economist Taylor Marr explains that the current challenging financial climate, including high housing payments, inflation, and uncertainty in financial markets, has made it difficult for most Americans to consider purchasing a vacation home. Despite the downturn, affluent cash buyers are still seeking vacation properties in popular destinations. Phoenix Redfin agent Van Welborn notes that these buyers are motivated by the potential to purchase vacation homes below asking price, although interest in short-term rental properties has waned due to market saturation. --- Source: Redfin | Monday, 10 April 2023 | Summarized by ChatGPT Plus

In a bid to transform the traditionally complex and costly site review processes in the construction sector, Matterport, Inc. (Nasdaq: MTTR) has announced an integration with Autodesk Construction Cloud. The collaboration aims to streamline the "Request for Information" (RFI) process in Autodesk Build by utilizing Matterport's digital twin technology. Construction projects often face challenges due to project inaccuracies or misunderstandings between stakeholders, leading to costly delays and rework. The typical RFI process, which involves construction and design teams labeling issues directly onto documents or images, can be time-consuming and often results in inaccuracies. In fact, according to research, inaccurate or incomplete documentation is responsible for an estimated 48% of rework in the US construction industry. --- Matterport media release continues in the We Get Around Network Forum here: https://www.wegetaroundnetwork.com/topic/18412/page/1/matterportautodesk-construction-cloud-complexcostly-site-review-process/

Matterport Expands Platform Integrations with Autodesk Construction Cloud to Transform Complex and Costly Site Review Processes For Construction Sector Matterport digital twins provide precise, photorealistic 3D views of job sites to reduce errors and speed the RFI process in Autodesk Construction Cloud SUNNYVALE, California, Tuesday, March 14, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Matterport, Inc. (Nasdaq: MTTR), today announced a new integration with Autodesk Construction Cloud– a portfolio of software and services that combines advanced technology, a builders network and predictive insights for construction teams –making it easier for project teams using Matterport and Autodesk Build ® to collaborate within critical project management workflows. This new integration allows project stakeholders to enhance the “Request for Information” (RFI) process in Autodesk Build, moving from traditional methods of communication to immersive digital twin technology, powered by Matterport. Construction projects involve hundreds of stakeholders, many of whom rely on documents and images to coordinate the construction lifecycle from design to to operations. While project management tools can ease the burden of organizing various materials, the current process of relying on complex 2D and 3D files often results in project inaccuracies or misunderstandings between stakeholders, leading to rework or costly delays. To address information gaps on a project, construction professionals submit an RFI. The typical RFI process involves queries by construction and design teams. Teams label issues directly onto the documents or images, with each project stakeholder responsible for updating the documentation with new information to clarify incomplete data or references. This process can be tedious and time-consuming, as documentation typically spans multiple formats that constantly evolve as stakeholders weigh in, making it difficult for teams to track the latest information. According to a Navigant Construction Forum survey, the average construction project will result in more than 800 RFIs, averaging more than 50 RFI’s submitted per week. Each request consumes an average of eight hours of administrative labor to receive, log, review and respond to the RFI1. Inaccurate or incomplete documentation is responsible for an estimated 48% of the rework that occurs in the construction industry in the United States, according to the research paper, Construction Disconnected, conducted by Thomas et al., 2018(2).

Techs want to know what is included in the SuperViz SDK and related resources. Stay-tuned! On WGAN-TV Live at 5 (5 pm ET) on Thursday, 9 March 2023, my guests are: 1. SuperViz Co-Founder and CEO Russ Rive and 2. SuperViz Vice President of Engineering Tommy Lindestrøm WGAN-TV | Leverage the SuperViz SDK for Matterport and 3D Models to Super-Charge Collaboration Russ and Tommy will do a deep-dive in to the SuperViz SDK, including: 1. SuperViz features that can be added to Matterport tours and 3D Models 2. SuperViz SDK demo SuperViz SDK in Brief 1. The SuperViz SDK turns any 3D or digital twin web application into an immersive experience for guided tours, interactive presentations and real-time collaboration. 2. Ready-to-go plugins for Matterport and three.js make it easy to integrate with just a few lines of code. The SuperViz SDK transforms single-user experiences into multi-user, including full video conferencing functionality, support for avatars, shared mouse positions and a powerful sync engine. 3. SuperViz helps bring people together with a sense of presence whether they work with 3D models, reality capture, digital twins, 360º imagery or any other spatial content. According to SuperViz The SuperViz SDK release opens access for anyone with a web viewer in their platform to add immersive collaborative experiences to Matterport or other digital twin 3D Models web applications. Easily transform single-user experiences into multi-user, including: 1. Immersive Meetings: Full-function video conferencing layer for up to 16 participants, including chat, grid view and screen share. (face-to-face synchronous collaboration, full video conferencing functionality, Guided Tours) 2. Broadcast: Broadcast mode for up to 230 people. With this mode you can allow audience participants to follow live meetings with chat access. 3. Avatars: Flexible avatar support for glb and GLTF models. Add your own models for meeting participants. (interactive among users) 4. Real-Time Data Properties: Add an extra layer of collaboration by synchronizing your app properties in real-time between meeting participants using a powerful sync engine including: 3D models, 2D content, States, Selections, Objects and anything else needed (shared mouse positions) 5. Dashboard: Developer dashboard with detailed usage statistics and management. 6. 3D Viewer Plugins: Automatic Multiplayer enabled integration with avatars, pointers and controls directly inside your favorite 3D viewer. The SuperViz Matterport and Three.js plugins make it quick and easy to integrate. “The biggest request we got from our own web app customers was for us to make the concept work as an embedded feature inside other platforms,” shares Russ Rive, SuperViz CEO and Co-Founder. “It turns out the idea of immersive collaboration in 3D space is a very distributed problem, and so we developed the SuperViz SDK as a way to solve that need," says Rive. “With options like SuperViz, the whole visualization engine is loaded natively inside of everyone’s location. So each person is loading and rendering their own version of the browser of the 3D space, leading to perfect quality. It’s a huge jump in the quality of the experience and the quality of the visual,” says Rive. Designed to save development time and resources, it's easy to begin building with the Superviz SDK. Utilizing real-time synchronization means customers can access more efficient collaboration workflows while staying on your platform, eliminating slow-downs and poor performance: 1. Screen share from a video conference sends only one point of view. There’s no sense of the other person being with you. 2. Inferior image quality is frequent with screen sharing. Resolution is low and you get pixelation, especially if anyone has a choppy internet connection. 3. The need to screen share is an extra step that leads to customers juggling multiple tools. Syncing in real time provides a streamlined solution in a single platform. “What’s really exciting about this is that it’s more than just adding collaboration. It sounds sci-fi, but you’re building a virtual teleportation machine. Your web app becomes a space, a location, a place where people go and hang out, where they discuss projects as if they were there together,” Rive says. The SuperViz SDK pricing structure provides m

On WGAN-TV Live at 5 (5 pm ET) on Tuesday, 28 February 2023: WGAN-TV: Tom Sparks (Sparks Media Group): "I Paid $299 for a Matterport Digital Pro Package for a Real Estate Listing: What Every Matterport Service Provider Should Know" To help you decide if Matterport Digital Pro is a threat to Matterport Service Providers (or an opportunity or no impact at all), I reached out to Scan Your Space (a Division of Sparks Media Group) Founder and CEO Tom Sparks offering for We Get Around Network to pay a Matterport Digital Pro package ($299) in exchange for Tom documenting the experience for the WGAN Forum community (and publishing the digital assets in the WGAN Forum). I could imagine understanding the Matterport Digital Pro experience -- from an actual shoot -- would provide insight regarding if Matterport Digital Pro services powered by VHT Studios (a division of Matterport) is a threat or opportunity. Backstory Eight months after Matterport announced it acquired VHT Studios (7 July 2022), Matterport launched its Matterport Digital Pro "all-in-one" solution for real estate agents powered by VHT Studios. Matterport Digital Pro offers the following package for $299 (with optional add ons): 1. Matterport Tour 2. 25+ Photos 3. Schematic Floor Plan (B&W) 4. Teaser Video I could imagine that $299 is less than what the majority of Matterport Service Providers charge for (what might sound like) a similar package. When Matterport made this announcement on Wednesday, 15 February 2023, two different WGAN Forum discussions were started about, is Matterport Digital Pro a competitor to Matterport Service Providers? Specifically: 1. Matterport Digital Pro - your direct competition 2. Video: Matterport launches all in one solution, should you be worried? Tom is uniquely qualified since he has documented shooting the same house with five Matterport capture solutions: 1. Matterport Pro3 Camera 2. Matterport Pro2 Camera 3. Matterport AXIS Kit [Motorized Mount (smartphone rotator)] 4. Ricoh THETA Z1 5. Insta360 One RS 1" How about the same house done with Matterport Digital Pro Package to be able to compare apples-to-apples, I asked Tom. Among the questions that I will ask Tom on WGAN-TV Live at 5 are: 1. What was the Matterport Digital Pro ordering experience like? 2. How long from ordering until the photographer showed up and how long to deliver the assets? 3. What was the Matterport Digital Pro scanning experience like (including which camera)? 4. What's the deliverable process like? 5. Your thoughts about how Matterport Digital Pro compares with a MSP (like you) shooting with a Pro2 or Pro3? 6. How does the job delivered by Matterport Digital Pro Package compare to your services? 7. Will you outsource large Matterport scans to Matterport Digital Pro since they say same price regardless of SQFT? 7. Other thoughts?

Matterport Missing Two Mobile Mapping Scanning Solutions in the AEC Space Commentary and Analysis by Dan Smigrod Founder and Managing Editor We Get Around Network Forum and WGAN-TV Podcast While the Matterport Pro3 Camera scans faster than a Matterport Pro2 Camera and Leica BLK360 scanner, Matterport still needs to add two mobile mapping solutions in the AEC Space. For example, at Geo Week 2023 in Denver earlier this month, at least two mobile mapping scanning solutions were displayed in the the Geo Week expo space that Matterport is missing: 1. Cupix Mobile Mapping Solution - Cupix uses an Insta360 ONE X2 360 camera - to create a video where the camera captures every two seconds paired with videogrammetry to create a 3D model. 2. NavVis VLX 2nd Generation Mobile Solution - The NavVis VLX 2nd generation captures both LiDAR scan data and 360 photography to create a 3D model. The single largest expense in scanning is labor. I could imagine that these two mobile mapping solutions (above) can capture a space 20 times faster (than moving a tripod from point-to-point (even with a dolly). Scanning 20 times faster enables: 1. Daily, weekly or monthly construction documentation 2. Super-large spaces such as a shopping center (including the parking lot) 3. More AEC scanning opportunities Because Matterport is building out its platform for many verticals, in multiple countries and in multiple languages, my impression is that it innovates slower than other scanning solutions. In the AEC space, Matterport is competing with companies that are solely focused on the AEC space and, thus, can innovate faster when focused on only one vertical. If you are a Matterport Service Provider thinking that you like getting paid at the pace that you presently scan, I could imagine that competing solutions -- that take one-twentieth of the time to scan -- will make you irrelevant. To "catch up" in the AEC space, Matterport needs to either: 1. Develop a low and high-end mobile mapping scanning solution 2. Acquire companies that already offer mobile mapping scanning solutions 3. Be acquired by a company that can "roll-up" competitive companies 4. License mobile mapping scanning solutions 5. Partner with mobile mapping scanning solutions to integrate Matterport as a "publish to" solution What are your thoughts about Matterport and mobile mapping solutions? --- Join the WGAN Forum discussion (www.WGANForum.com) here: https://www.wegetaroundnetwork.com/topic/18334/page/1/matterport-missing-two-mobile-mapping-scanning-solutions-in-the-aec-space/

Matterport to Add Super-Powerful Search/Navigation Features Powered by AI/ML/AR Commentary by Dan Smigrod Founder and Managing Editor We Get Around Network Forum and WGAN-TV Podcast Matterport will upgrade Matterport Showcase player to include native wayfinding and search powered by machine learning, according to a rumor at Geo Week in Denver Tuesday (14 February 2023). By the end of 2Q23, I anticipate that Matterport will launch a drop down search bar in Matterport Showcase player that lists items and locations identified in the space by machine learning and then - via an augmented reality wayfinding experience - enable the viewer to "walk" from their existing destination to the dropdown menu selection location. Initially, the items and spaces identified will focus on real estate spaces and by the end of 2023 include spaces that are unique to the AEC (Architects, Engineers and Construction) related spaces. The introduction of these super-powerful search and navigation features will add huge value to Matterport and help Matterport differentiate its platform from 200 other 3D/360 virtual tour platforms/software. For clarification, as of today (15 February 2023), Matterport has not announced the additions of native wayfinding and pull down menu search via a pre-define list of objects or spaces identified by AI powered by a machine learning training set. --- Commentary continues in the We Get Around Network Forum (www.WGANForum.com) here: https://www.wegetaroundnetwork.com/topic/18280/page/1/matterport-to-add-powerful-searchnavigation-features-powered-by-aimlar/

"I went from shooting no videos to shooting 5 a day in less than a year (and now have three full-time photographers," says Andrew. "I added over $10,000 extra revenue every month by adding real estate videos to my services and I had no knowledge at all on how to shoot the videos or how to edit them." "I will show you how to shoot real estate video just like myself and my photographers do, and give you access to the exact same platform and editing service I use, and you too can add between $5,000 and $10,000 extra profit or more every month," says Andrew. About Andrew Lampman -- I've owned a Real Estate Photography business for over 12 years. A few years back, when HDR photo and Cinematic Video Walk-throughs became popular with Realtors, I began to lose clients to local photographers because they were able to offer better services to my clients. I didn't have the skills to compete, nor the desire to shoot all day and edit photos and videos all night. Around this time, Greg, the owner of MyVisualListings contacted me. He informed me that they would be launching an in-house video and photo editing service. I knew that I needed to add quality real estate videos to our services, in order to be a front-runner in the industry. I began looking into updating my skills so that I could train my photographers to go out and shoot professional videos that would sell. 1. I now offer the Highest Quality Photography in my area. 2. All of my Media is presented on a beautiful Single Property Website. 3. Our Real Estate videos have taken our area by storm. 4, We have gained back our clientele and in addition, I get 10+ calls from new Realtors every month. 5.

The following article first appeared on the Robotic Imaging Blog on 18 March 2022. It is reprinted with the permission of Robotic Imaging. Robotic Imaging: LODs in BIM Explained What is LOD? LOD or Level of Development is a defined industry standard that helps project leaders, architects, engineers, and other project leaders describe the state and completion of different design phases. Essentially, it is a standardized way of understanding what information the BIM model should have during the completion of each phase of a project. The levels, as created by the American Institute of Architects, include: 1. LOD 100: Concept Design 2. LOD 200: Approximate Geometry 3. LOD 300: Precise Geometry 4. LOD 350: Greater Detail and Construction Documentation 5. LOD 400: Fabrication and Assembly 6. LOD 500: As-Built Model Level of Development vs. Level of Detail Both Level of Development and Level of Detail use the abbreviation LOD, but both mean different things. Level of Development shows the level of thought put into a project’s geometry, specifications and other information. It also shows the levels of dependence team members currently have on the information in the model. On the other hand, the Level of Detail is how much of that data is currently within the model element. Essentially, the Level of Development is the reliability of the output, and the Level of Detail is the comprehensiveness of the input of information. Suggested reading: If you want to learn more about BIM terminology, check out: Robotic Imaging Blog Levels of Development The American Institute of Architects created LOD in 2009 to set universal design expectations. Universal expectations are necessary, so collaborators understand the level of detail needed to move on to the project’s next phase. There are 6 different Levels of Development, as defined by the American Institute of Architects. They are: LOD 100: Concept Design At LOD 100, the project, deliverable, or element model still consists of 2D properties. This is the most basic of all development levels. Sometimes, LOD 100 consists of a handmade sketch. However, it is ideal to keep in mind that data will have to be transferred to a BIM design tool in the future. --- Robotic Imaging post continues in the We Get Around Network Forum (www.WGANForum.com).
