Stay tuned! On WGAN-TV Live at 5 (special time: 11 am ET and 5 pm in Poland) on Wednesday, 18 September 2024 my guest will be SIMLAB STAGES Product Owner Robert Czarlewski. Topic WGAN-TV | How to Get Started with SIMLAB STAGES: a Deep-Dive Onboarding Training Demo Highlights We will assume that you are already a pro with Matterport and that you have watched previous WGAN-TV Live at 5 shows about SIMLAB STAGES (www.WGAN.info/SIMLABonWGAN). Robert will show us examples of Matterport digital twin powered by SIMLAB STAGES and then show us the backend of how these SIMLAB STAGES features are added to a Matterport digital twin. Robert will show us 7 Basic Features of SIMLAB STAGES: ✓ Feature 1: Creating an Organization "The first step when using Stages is to create an organization. The organization serves as your workspace, where all your projects are stored, and licenses are tied to the organization. Therefore, it’s a crucial part of the environment setup." ✓ Feature 2: Creating a Project "After setting up the organization, the next step is creating a project. Each project can include various components, such as scans, notes, and other materials. I’ll show you how to create a new project step by step." ✓ Feature 3: Adding Components (Matterport Scans) to a Project "Once the project is created, the next step is adding components, such as scans. This is a fundamental part of building a project in Stages, so it’s essential to know how to do it correctly." ✓ Feature 4: Matterport Scan Synchronization "Scan synchronization is a critical process. In this step, it’s important to define the synchronization points in locations that are as far apart as possible and, if possible, at different heights. The first scan should be manually marked as synchronized, creating what we call a 'reference scan.' You can verify the synchronization quality using the split screen tool, and if necessary, remove and repeat the synchronization." ✓ Feature 5: Adding Notes "You can add notes to each project, which allows for better documentation and team collaboration. Now, I’ll show you how to do that." ✓ Feature 6: Attaching Materials to Notes "You can enhance your notes by attaching additional materials, such as images or files. This is a very useful feature that provides more information in your notes." ✓ Feature 7: Sharing Projects "Lastly, we’ll cover how to share projects. You can invite other users to collaborate, assign them roles, and manage access. I’ll show you how to send invitations and manage roles within the project." Robert will also show additional features and tips and tricks: ✓ Feature 8: Generating Reports "In Stages, you can generate detailed reports from each project. It’s a quick and easy way to present the results of your work." ✓ Feature 9: Generating Public Links "If you need to share a project with external stakeholders, you can generate a public link. This is especially useful when you need to quickly share your project." ✓ Feature 10: System Preferences "Lastly, I’ll show you how to customize the system preferences. You can change the appearance of the timeline, switch between light and dark themes, adjust the units of measurement, and modify the date format."

Your contributions, your willingness to help one another, and your shared passion have built the world's largest knowledge base of its kind. It's your giving and getting of help that have made the WGAN Forum the best PropTech community for Matterport and related digital twin creators and providers. To our marketing partners: Your support has been instrumental in allowing this platform to remain free for nearly everyone. By embracing our community, you've enabled us to continue growing, innovating, and making a real impact. We're incredibly grateful for your ongoing partnership. As we look to the future, I want to acknowledge the role of AI in our continued evolution. We see the potential of AI to transform how we create, share, and experience digital twins. The WGAN community will continue to explore and push the boundaries of what's possible. In closing, I want to say this: you matter. These two words have guided our community from the very beginning, and they will continue to do so as we move forward.

Ep 310265-WGAN-TV | Mosaic Co-Founder Jeffrey Martin at Geo Week 2024 Shows Mobile Mapping Camera

WGAN-TV on Location at Geo Week 2024 | Pitch the Press Event Mosaic Co-Founder Jeffrey Martin at Geo Week 2024 Shows Mobile Mapping Camera Transcript - How's it going? My name's Jeffrey Martin. I'm the Co-Founder and CEO of Mosaic. We are a mobile-mapping camera company. Our general thesis is that as computing improves and various algorithms improve, it becomes less and less important to use high-end LiDAR, which is extremely expensive, cumbersome, and hard to use. Companies such as Trimble, Hexagon, and others are stuck in an innovator's dilemma. And we are coming after you because we don't need these extremely expensive lasers anymore. You can achieve even better results in a fraction of the time of data collection using photogrammetry. And in many cases, you can get even more detailed 3D model using photogrammetry. So while we do use LiDAR as well, we take a camera-first point of view. So both with the devices that go on the cars as well as the device on my back, we have extremely high-resolution cameras with very high image quality with a very high level of synchronization and a very good calibration of the optical properties of the cameras that allow users to derive measurements and create 3D models, point clouds, and textured meshes with ease.
