Hi All, Do you have an opportunity to shoot a Matterport digital twin of an RV Showroom and multiple RVs? 1. How do you use a Matterport Pro2 3D Camera in tight spaces of an RV? 2. How do you organize 100+ MatterTags so that potential buyers can decide which MatterTag to click on? 3. How do you integrate online merchandise shopping within an RV Store within a showroom? 4. Should you shoot the RV showroom first: and then go inside each RV to shoot it? 5. Should you charge by SQ FT? Shoot Days? Project? (And, what happens when the scope increases?) 6. Do you charge for hosting, maintenance and support or have the client get a Matterport account? 7. How do you scan with doors/sinks open and closed? 8. When you have 100+ Matterport MatterTags, how do you figure out which are broken six months from now? 9. Do you duplicate the Matterport space to create individual RV tours or shoot twice? 10. How do you place the Matterport Pro2 3D Camera on an RV seat (without the camera fallings)? 11. How long does it take to shoot a very large RV showroom? What makes it more complicated? 12. How long does the Matterport Pro2 3D Camera battery last (during this kind of usage)? 13. What kind of MatterTags should you anticipate adding to an RV space? 14. What challenges might you expect? 15. What opportunities to keep an eye out for? 16. What are the likely use cases by the client ( to help get a "done deal" )? 17. What are the challenges working with so many MatterTags? 18. Why MatterTags can take much longer than you think (important for quoting the project) 19. Why you need more than one person on-site for a project like this? 20. What do the other team Members do if only one can scan at a time? 21. Trade-offs using a Ricoh Theta Z1 or Insta360 One X2 for a tour like this?

Hi All, This course originally aired live: WGAN-TV Live at 5 on Thursday, 13 May 2021: ✓ How to DIY virtually stage a Matterport Tour using CAPTUR3D by Bellevue, Washington-based New Interior Solutions Online Interior Designer Francesca Tosolini (@ftosolini) Learn how to DIY virtually Stage a Matterport Tour using CAPTUR3D in the WGAN-TV Training U: Free WGAN-TV Training U Course: How to DIY Virtually Stage a Matterport Tour using CAPTUR3D Francesca's company - New Interior Solutions - provides these services: ✓ Interior Renders ✓ Virtual Staging ✓ 360 Virtual Staging ✓ Photography and Virtual Tours ✓ Exterior Renders ✓ Virtual Furniture Replacement ✓ 360 Virtual Remodeling ✓ 3D House Animation About Francesca Tosolini If I had to describe myself in a few words I would say that I’m an Italian attracted to innovation, jeans and sneakers, self-improvement, pizza every weekend and to the fantastic old Fiat 500 (yes, I even have a painting of an old Fiat 500 hanging in my living room). However, my true passion is, of course, interior design and more specifically spatial problem-solving. I think I got my ability to make the most of a space from my parents who have always tried to find creative and practical ways to maximize every single centimeter of our small Italian condo (800 sq ft for four, tall people) and from the fact that I have lived in Italy half of my life, where everything is smaller. I mean, seriously, even the pizza is smaller!

Hi All, What's the Future for 3D Tour technology for Real Estate Photographers? Watch (above) WGAN-TV: Imagining the Future for 3D Tour Technology for Real Estate Photographers on Wednesday, April 28, 2021 with Dr. Kelley Cours Anderson (@kcoursa), Researcher at Texas Tech University (and incoming Assistant Professor of Marketing at College of Charleston effective 14 May 2021). WGAN-TV Live at 5 Show Includes ► Imagination is a driving force in market development, growth, and market futures. ► Methodology: Qualitative, Socio-historical analysis. Including a historical review of Silicon Valley, starting from the early 1900’s and a historical review of over 8 years in the development of a 3D/VR-tour technology. ► The Silicon Valley’s technoculture provides guidance for market futures, such as 3D tour tech, but also constrains the future market. ► While developers use their imagination to launch this market, the photography customer (including those first experiencing as an end-consumer) are pivotal in expanding this media into multiple markets beyond developers’ expectations. Possible Futures: ➨ Positive: wider legitimacy, targeted marketing, convenience ➨ Negative: (tensions) – photographer customers’ creative rights and end-consumers’ privacy rights ► Ethical growth and potential legitimacy is possible through external imagination. What is the future for 3D Tour Technology for Real Estate Photographers? Find out on this WGAN-TV Live at 5 show. Plus, we discuss: ✓ why the data captured matters (and why it may be more valuable than the 3D tour) ✓ does innovation come from "Silicon Valley" or photographers or elsewhere (and why) ✓ the tension/constraint of who owns the 3D tour ✓ verticals such as museums, insurance and mortgage documentation ✓ tips for 3D Tour photographers such as diversify your portfolio (and why) It's fun to hear about the future given that many of us are focused on today, tomorrow or next week. By the way, Dr. Kelley Cours Anderson was previously my guest on WGAN-TV Live at 5: ✓ Transcript: WGAN-TV Virtual Tour Super-Heroes at Your Service Got a follow-up question for Dr. Kelley Cours Anderson (@kcoursa)? Post it here. And, thanks to @kcoursa for participating in another WGAN-TV Live at 5 show. Best, Dan P.S. It's likely that you are familiar with Dr. Kelley Cours Anderson. Her research is often quoted by Matterport regarding homes with virtual tours sell faster and at a higher price. ✓ Matterport Blog (February 25, 2020) With 3D Tours, properties sell up to 31% faster and at a higher price Listings with a Matterport 3D tour statistic examples include: - Sold 20% faster (less days on market) - For 4.8% more (higher sale price)

On WGAN-TV Live at 5 [5 pm EDT | GMT -4] on Thursday, April 22, 2021, Dave walked us though his real estate agent pitch deck: ✓ Adoption of Virtual Tours for Real Estate Marketing Examples of statistics in the statistics-packed presentation deck include, listings with 3D tours: -- sell 20 percent faster -- sell for 9 percent higher sales price -- 55% of buys would buy a property sight unseen -- 82% would switch to an agent offerings 3D tours During the show, we talked about how WGAN Forum Members can get this Dave's deck (.pptx and .pdf) at no charge.

iGUIDE PLANIX is the 3D Camera Kit Matterport Wished It Created (in Many Ways) --- Hi All, My guest for WGAN-TV iGUIDE PLANIX Camera Kit | Intro, Demo and FAQs is Chris White, Planitar (iGuide) Marketing Manager. This show aired live on WGAN-TV Live at 5 on Thursday, 18 March 2021. Topics Covered ✓ iGUIDE Platform Overview (Highlights): including iGUIDE 3D Tour, iGUIDE, Floor Plans and photos ✓ Introduction to the iGUIDE PLANIX Camera Kit ✓ iGUIDE PLANIX Camera Kit Unboxing: What's Included ✓ iGUIDE PLANIX Camera Kit: Demo ✓ iGUIDE PLANIX Camera Kit: three configurations (What's Different?) ✓ iGUIDE PLANIX Camera Kit: Pricing (Including Pre-Orders prior to 5 April 2021 shipping) ✓ iGUIDE Pricing: Two Per 3D Tour Options (iGUIDE and Premium iGUIDE): no subscription ✓ iGUIDE PLANIX Camera Kit: Features and Benefits ✓ iGUIDE PLANIX Camera Kit versus iGUIDE IMS-5 Camera (DSLR included) ✓ iGUIDE PLANIX Camera Kit: FAQs ✓ And More! As I posted to the WGAN Forum on Tuesday, 2 March 2021: ✓ iGUIDE PLANIX is the 3D Camera Kit Matterport Wished It Created (in Many Ways) If you are a real estate photographer researching Matterport 3D tours, iGUIDE 3D tours should be on your short list of other 3D/360 platforms – and other 3D/360 cameras – to consider. While Matterport will be valued at nearly $3 billion and receive $615 million in cash when Matterport is scheduled to go public by 30 June 2021, its much smaller, feisty competitor has created better camera kits and platform – in many ways. I asked Planitar Inc. (Planitar is the makers of iGUIDE) Co-Founder and CEO Alexander Likholyot (@Alex_iGuide) by email today (2 March 2021) what problems that the iGUIDE PLANIX Camera Kit - launched Monday (1 March 2021) solves versus the DSLR-based iGUIDE Camera Kit. Alex writes, "further capture speed increase, longer measurement range, greater ease of use and lower replacement cost as workhorses get worked to the ground sometimes. PLANIX leaves [busy, professional real estate photographers] more time to deliver more value with their other services while providing a great 3D tour with accurate floor plans." Known for the iGUIDE laser-sharp focus on residential real estate, iGUIDE "PLANIX opens lots of applications in commercial real estate, including insurance and large space scanning," writes Alex. "Everybody likes the look of it, which makes us happy. It is a 3D Space Technology : )." Here are my observations ... iGUIDE PLANIX is the 3D Camera Kit Matterport Wished It Created (in Many Ways) 1. superior camera kits (iGUIDE PLANIX Camera in three configurations; and iGUIDE IMS-5 Camera) 2. superior 3D virtual tour platform (iGUIDE Tour Examples | Matterport Tour Examples) 3. superior 2D floor plans in the residential and commercial real estate space. (iGUIDE PLANIX Floor Plan Example | Matterport Floor Plan Example) iGUIDE PLANIX Camera Kit – announced Monday, 1 March 2021 – is the 3D Camera Kit (three configurations) that Matterport likely wished it created. iGUIDE PLANIX Camera Kit Versus Matterport Highlights 1. LiDAR instead of structured light 2. LiDAR “sees” up to about 130 feet versus about 50 feet for Matterport’s structured light 3. LiDAR enables most residential listings to be shot in 15-20 minutes (faster workflow) 4. LiDAR enables super-accurate 2D floor plans: .05% dimensional uncertainty versus Matterport 5. $1,999 (pre-order pricing until 4 April 2021) instead of $2,995 (Matterport Pro2 Camera sale price) 6. Option to control camera settings (versus no camera settings control) 7. Leverages a publicly available 360 camera: Ricoh Theta Z1 (future compatibility) 8. Enables 2D Floor Plans to be accurate 9. Includes a custom hard case (versus no case with Matterport) 10. In addition to iOS, already works with Android; Matterport in Android public beta 11. Ricoh Theta Z1 Camera - in the iGUIDE PLANIX Camera Kit - can be used for other platforms and without an iGUIDE subscription: Matterport Pro2 Camera can not be used with any other platform without a Matterport Cloud Subscription (and then a cumbersome workflow, at best). Cost Conscious Photographers that already have a Ricoh Theta Z1 can order the iGUIDE PLANIX Core Kit for $1,299 (pre-order pricing through 4 April 2021). Measurement Accuracy Matters Photographers that seek the ultimate in measurement accuracy within the 3D virtual tour view can order the iGUIDE PLANIX Pro Camera Kit for $2,499 (pre-order pricing through 4 April 2021) that includes Ricoh Theta Z1 lens calibration for up to 3 times better accuracy when measuring in the 3D space. (Floor plan measurements have the same level of accuracy for all iGUIDE PLANIX configurations.) Plus, the iGUIDE Platform beats Matterport on: 1. Offering Per Tour Pricing (no subscription) versus Matterport Cloud subscription 2. Ability to edit 360 images (e.g. remove the camera from a bathroom mirror; sky replacement) 3. Offline hosting is an option with iGUIDE: not Matterport 4. No confusion regarding who owns the copyright/dig

Up to 9 percent of MLS listings with a 3D tour sell at a higher price --- WGAN-TV Live at 5: Virtual Tour Super-Heroes at Your Service: How Business Communities Inspire Creativity to Mitigate Crisis with Texas Tech University Marketing PH.D. Candidate Kelley Anderson, M.S. Hi All, If you are a Matterport Service Provider, you are a Super-Hero and it's likely that your virtual tour business has increased as a result of COVID-19, concludes a survey of WGAN Forum Members conducted by Researchers Kelley Anderson, M.S., PH.D. Candidate and Ashley Hass, MBA, PH.D. Student at Texas Tech University. 71 percent of WGAN Forum Members saw their virtual tour business increase, according to the research paper. While ALL services - photography, video, drone, 360 imagery, Virtual Tours - increased - virtual tours increased the most. 90 percent of those surveyed anticipate that virtual tours will be more essential following COVID-19 too. On WGAN-TV Live at 5 on Wednesday, 18 November 2020, I will interview Researcher Kelley Anderson, M.S., PH.D. Candidate at Texas Tech University ✓ WGAN-TV Live at 5: Virtual Tour Super-Heroes at Your Service: How Business Communities Inspire Creativity to Mitigate Crisis with Texas Tech University Marketing PH.D. Candidate Kelley Anderson, M.S. WGAN Forum Members are Super-Heroes according to the Summary of the research paper titled: ✓ Super-Heroes at Your Service: How Business Communities Inspire Creativity to Mitigate Crisis "[WGAN Forum Members took on] a new identity of a ‘super-hero,’ where they assist to bring normalcy and sustain the market while keeping others safe," according to the study's authors that researched the impact of COVID-19: 1) How do [virtual tour photographers] react and modify strategies to maintain services during a crisis? 2) How [does the We Get Around Network Forum] influence strategic changes? "76% participated in [the WGAN Forum] because of information exchange is beneficial for them and their businesses, concludes the researchers. The researchers methodology also included content analysis of the We Get Around Network Forum: "1001 total posts; 221 discussions from [WGAN Forum was] scrapped (NVivo NCapture January to June 2020)," according to the Summary Report. The 14-page Summary Report - Super-Heroes at Your Service - is available free to WGAN Forum Members. (When you join the WGAN Forum, you automatically receive a link to this Summary. Or, Private Message me - @DanSmigrod - with the Subject Line: Super-Heroes at Your Service Among the quotes from the WGAN Forum included in the 14-page Summary Report: Ambiguity and Role Conflict - I live in a state that has a stay at home order....but.... Real Estate is considered critical...Photos/VR-tours are very important right now, under the circumstances. I’m just not sure if they are legally "essential" since Realtors can, technically, do them without a professional photographer. One of my clients thinks this is the exact time that you NEED professional help. (WGAN Forum post) Creative Community-Driven New Identity Practices - feel like people in the neighborhood look at me wearing a mask and going into the house. They know that I'm a service provider, and they respect that. Some of them even wave at me. ... It's nice. And it's also respecting their community because I don't want to be the guy that brings the virus to their community where they live, where their kids are... (WGAN Member interview) Outcomes of a ‘Super-Hero’ (or Villain?) Identity - ... Before the coronavirus, VR-tours were seen predominantly as a cool gimmick that many companies could live without. But since the virus started getting out of hand, and nation-wide quarantines began, VR-tours have become essential to businesses, which gives us VR-tour makers plenty to be optimistic about. (WGAN Forum post) This virus is beyond any global research and is evolving faster than any testing against it. It is self-weaponizing. The United States is now the largest carrier and sufferer. No money nor business acumen will stop it unless people stop spreading it. Stop scanning. Stay home. Save lives. (WGAN Forum response) And, this from the Study's section titled: Implications ● This study helps to answer calls for how [virtual tour photographers] can help others cope with the crisis and support the economy (Pantano et al. 2020). ● We find specifically that online business communities [WGAN Forum] can build creativity to manage a crisis and that there is an opportunity for business [virtual tour photographers] innovation to be a positive result emerging from COVID-19. Stakeholder Implications ● [virtual tour photographers] engage in [the WGAN Forum] to gain creative inspiration to pursue productivity ● Collaborative networks - there is a more significant role beyond information-offering, including prompting creative strategies ● Policy makers - play a greater role in protecting our service ‘super-heroes’ as they protect our community and the marketplace --- It's

[Join WGAN Forum (free)] As few as one (1) virtually staged 360 panorama can be ordered, though Asteroom anticipates that WGAN Forum Members will want to order virtual staging for three 360 panoramas: ✓ Entrance ✓ Living Room ✓ Big Bed Room Asteroom Virtual Staging can be done either for: ✓ Spaces without furniture ✓ Spaces with existing furniture (Asteroom "removes" the existing furniture and then re-stages the space) Asteroom Also Announced Wednesday, 30 September 2020 ✓ The first Asteroom Pay Per Tour Bundle is free for WGAN Forum Members with promo code WGANAsteroom on this special Asteroom landing page - for a limited time - effective today (Wednesday, 30 September 2020). ✓ Additional Asteroom Pay Per Tour Bundles are now $49.99 each for WGAN Forum Members. The free and special pricing offers for WGAN Forum Members are made by WGAN Gold Member, Asteroom Co-Founder and CEO Eric Tsai. Physical staging is not a cost-effective option for many sellers, with the service’s high price bracket keeping it nearly exclusive to the high-end luxury market. The average cost for physical staging can range from $300 to $600 for an initial consultation, and upwards of $500 for each staged room each month the property is staged, often costing thousands of dollars per month. Virtual staging looks as good as real-life staging and costs much less: about 10 percent of physical staging. According to the 2019 National Association of REALTORS (NAR) Home Staging Profile report: ✓ 83% of buyers' agents noted that staging made it easier for buyers to visualize the property as a future home. ✓ 25% of buyers’ agents said that staging a home increased the offer between 1% and 5% compared to un-staged listings. ✓ 17% of sellers’ agents said that staging increased the dollar value of a home between 6% and 10%.

I'm Dan Smigrod, Founder of the We Get Around Network Forum. Today is Thursday, June 20, 2020. And, you're watching WGAN-TV Live at 5. Hey, I'm Dan Smigrod, Founder of the We Get Around Network Forum, our guest today is Chris Fraser. Chris is the Founder of MatterVids, he's located just out of Bristol, Tennessee. Hey, Chris, good to see you. - Hey, Dan, good to see you, thanks for having me on the show again. - Oh, and Chris, thank you for being on the show again, we just love having you, you always have great things to share with us, and I'm super-excited about today's show. MatterVids: buttery-smooth videos created from Matterport Highlights Reel. And I'm just going to almost cut to the chase and say for less than $20 and in quantity, for less than $12. So I suppose you could say let's end the show here, but actually, I think we have so much to talk about on exactly what this MatterVid is. Why don't we start just with what is a MatterVid? - Okay, yeah, that's a great place to start. A MatterVid is really just a high definition video file of your Matterport tour Highlight Reel. So basically, whatever you have set for the Highlight Reel, we take it, we capture it, because a lot of people struggle with capturing it. We capture it as clean as it can be captured and it's almost a perfect clone, then we enhance it and we send it back to you in a video file that you can put up on YouTube or really wherever you want to. - Chris, you're so understated, you have this awesome video solution. Let's take a look at some MatterVids so that our audience can actually see what this is. - Sure. Let's see, let me get one up on here and share my screen. - And there's many iterations of MatterVids, so we'll start out with a MatterVid no audio, created from a Highlight Reel, a Matterport Highlight Reel, and I think Chris will provide some commentary while he's playing that video. - Sure, and it's actually telling me that the host has disabled screen sharing. - Oh, forgive me. We do this by Zoom and Zoom has changed some privacy settings, so let me see if I can change the setting here. - Okay. - Okay. Good, okay, Chris, you're all set. - Okay, cool, let me pull this up here and then I'm going to go share. - And even while you're setting up to share screen, I should say, when I say buttery-smooth, the video, the MatterVids are buttery-smooth. There's likely to be some latency because of how we broadcast using the Zoom platform to YouTube. But that said, it really is quite amazing. Chris, we can see full screen, we're on your, we're on your showcase example screen. - Perfect, okay, cool. And you can still hear my audio? Oh. - Yes. - Okay, perfect, okay. Okay, so this is the video example page. And one thing I want to address ... before I show this. We're all about privacy and white-labeling. So if anybody sees this and says hey, wait a minute, I want to, I want to do this but I don't want you showing the world that you did my video, that's one of the options when you order. People that have made these have given us permission to share them. So let's see here. One without, let's start with this one. Let's see if this, okay, yup. Hold on. That one. Fun times. Here we go, okay. This is, let's go to the sample first. This is a sample that is available for download if you decide you want to promote it and show people, this is one that we embedded on our website and you can actually get the download link, we'll get into it later about how we deliver. But this is the perfect example of the Walkthrough. This is how it, when you set up your Highlight Reel, if you choose Walkt

"And so we help them with their documentation. Usually when the walls go up, and right before rough-in, that we come in and document, and what they've noticed is a change in the work orders of the change orders of what's happening, 'cause they're able to catch problems quicker."

Unlike Matterport, the Metareal Stage 3D virtual tour can be shot with nearly any 360º camera and because of how Metareal creates the 3D virtual tour, the tour can be shot much, much faster. ✓ Metrareal Stage offers both automatic tour and floor plan creation service or DIY tour creation (to save money) ✓ Compared to Matterport, Metareal offers a more cost-effective 3D virtual tour solution ✓ free publishing to Google Street View ✓ Metareal Stage is a serious contender for Service Providers to offer to real estate agents I look forward to our next WGAN-TV Live at 5 show (date TBD) when you will do a deeper dive demo and discussion of: ✓ Metareal Stage plug-in for Autodesk Revit ✓ Metareal Stage SDK

Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) as applied to Matterport Digital Twins --- WGAN-TV How and Why to Create ADA Compliant Matterport and Other 3D/360 Virtual Tours Hi All, ✓ What is the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)? ✓ How does the ADA apply to Matterport and other3D/360 Virtual Tours? ✓ How do you create ADA compliant Matterport and other 3D/360 Virtual Tours? ✓ What should every Matterport Service Provider and other 3D/360 Virtual Tour Service Providers know about ADA? My guest on WGAN-TV Live at 5 (5 pm ET Thursday, 19 March 2020 is Barnes Creative Studios Founder Steve Barnes (@BarnesCreative). Barnes Creative Studios has created an exclusive ADA compliant player to make Matterport and other 3D/360 Virtual Tours - accessible to Americans with disabilities. The WGAN-TV Live at 5 topic is: How and Why to Create ADA Compliant Matterport and Other Virtual Tours If you have enterprise clients or prospects, it's likely that you will be asked about how to make the Matterport Digital Twins ADA compliant. Over time, it's also likely that other existing or potential clients of your Matterport Tours will ask about ADA compliance. “Under the current law, there is an incentive for plaintiff’s lawyers to file ADA access lawsuits: hotels may be required to pay a disabled person’s attorney fees even if the hotel agrees to correct any problems right away," says FindLaw. Even if you do not have enterprise clients such as a major hotel brand or cruise line brand, this is a "must watch" WGAN-TV Live at 5 show. Here are questions that I anticipate asking Steve: 1. What is the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)? 2. How does ADA apply to Matterport 3D Tours? 3. What is the Web Content Accessibilities Guidelines (WCAG)? 4. How does the Website Content Accessibilities Guidelines apply to Matterport 3D Tours? 5. Why should I care about making Matterport 3D Tours ADA compliant? Enterprise clients and prospects? 6. Can you speak about this from a disabled person's perspective? 7. Can you speak about this from a lawsuit perspective? 8. How and why did you decide to build an ADA compliant virtual tour player 9. Please demo your ADA compliant, custom-built embedded virtual tour player 10. Please demo the Video Guided Tour Button 11. Please demo the Audio Description Button (Screen Reader) 12. Please demo the Read Transcription Button 13. Please demo how to return to the standard virtual tour Button 14. What does "level double A" compliant mean? Other levels? 15. Does ADA compliant virtual tours super-charge SEO? How so? 16. How does the Barnes Creative Studios ADA compliant player address issues about disabilities related to: visual audio speech cognitive language learning neurological 17. [I will explain the exclusive free offer for WGAN Forum Members and how to receive.] 18. Barnes Creative Studios Pricing for ADA client Matterport Digital Twins 19. I understand that you are no longer a Matterport Service Provider. Why does that matter? 20. Your website to reach out to you? (www.BarnesCareativeStudios.com) 21. What questions have I not asked you that I should ask? 22. Anything else? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [The following is reprinted with permission of Barnes Creative Studios (BCS) from this BCS blog post.] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Barnes Creative Studios ADA Compliant Matterport - and other 3D/360 – Virtual Tours for Hospitality Barnes Creative Studios (BCS) has developed a solution to make ADA compliant virtual tours. ADA (The Americans with Disabilities Act) compliance means making your service or product accessible to people with disabilities and it was amended to include websites in 2008. Hotels are increasingly aware that non-compliant websites make them potentially liable for lawsuits and fines, and many have implemented standards to comply. Up until now, there was not a streamlined solution to make virtual tours compliant. BCS has created a solution. Introducing an embedded player which not only provides AA compliant virtual tours, but also can be used for older virtual tours you already have in your catalog. Also, as an added bonus your search engine optimization will be amplified. See a list of past and current lawsuits on the ADA website that includes many hotels and resorts. BCS Has an Exclusive Player that Adheres to Accessibility Guidelines BCS exclusively provides our custom ADA compliant virtual tours that adhere to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). WCAG define how to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities. Accessibility involves a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, language, learning and neurological. BCS offers a solution which directly adheres to the “WCAG 2.0 guidelines 1.2 for time-based media: providing alternatives for time-based media”. This includes

Transcript: Pilot One is a Contender for Real Estate Photographers Transcript (video above) - Hi all, I'm Dan Smigrod, Founder of the We Get Around Network Forum. Today is Monday February 10, 2020 and you're watching WGAN-TV Live at 5. Our topic tonight; my review, my beta testing of the Labpano Pilot One. What's my conclusion the Labpano Pilot One 360 one click camera is a contender for real estate photographers that want to offer 360 Virtual Tours and do Google Street View map updates for storefronts. Those two things. My recommendation is based on loaner of a Pilot One camera, it's a kind of a beta hardware and software but I been loaned a Pilot One camera Labpano sent it to me, it arrived on Thursday January 23, 2020. And my recommendation is also based on a discussion that I had with some super successful Google Street View subject matter expert photographers at the 2019 Google Street View Summit in London. These are power users of the Labpano Pilot Era: and that's the big brother of the the Pilot One. Labpano is presently accepting Pilot One pre-orders through the first week of March 2020 and I have a link for you that you can get a free GPS module that's valued at $129. So free with the link WGAN.info/Pilot One. PILOT One, excuse me, P-I-L-O-T O-N-E, Pilot One. WGAN.info/pilotone With the Labpano had previously announced that the Pilot One would begin shipping in late February 2020, it has since updated the shipping schedule to March 2020 and that's at the soonest as a result of the CoronaVirus affecting staffing at its China based manufacturing facility. Okay so, what did I hope to do? There were three reasons that I accepted LabPano's invite to beta test and review the Pilot One. First, I was super excited about creating Google Street View map updates and creating new Google Street View "blue lines" ... Essentially Google Street View where there is presently no Google Street View, that's the first thing that I was super-excited about testing. Second, is to create a PilotTour using the Labpano new Virtual Tour platform in the cloud, featuring auto creation of tours, that's using a process called V-SLAM. Super-excited to see how Labpano new Virtual Tour platform in the cloud would automatically create Virtual Tours without a photographer having to create a constellation or organize the 360s into the tour. So I really wanted to create PilotTours with the Pilot One camera. And the third reason that I wanted to accept the Labpano's invite to beta test and review the Pilot One was to create EyeSpy360 virtual tours using the 360 panorama shots from the Pilot One. Unfortunately or fortunately Labpano is having so much success with pre-sales, I have not received the GPS module and their recommended backpack as of [10 Feb 2020] in order to create Google Street View with Pilot One. And, also unfortunately PilotTour is still in very early development and I'll talk more about my PilotTour testing and recommendations later in my review. I did successfully shoot 360 HDR panoramas with the Pilot One to create multiple EyeSpy360 virtual tours. If you'd like to see examples of my EyeSpy360 tours, come to the We Get Around Network Forum, WGANforum.com and just use the search box, search for EyeSpy360 or search for Pilot One, either way you're going to end up seeing examples of EyeSpy360 tours that I created using the Pilot One, 360 degrees spherical panoramas. In particular I think, two of the tours, two are the We Get Around Network Forum discussions to look at that include examples, one is titled; My Third EyeSpy360 Tour Workflow for furnished Apartment in Atlanta and the other is entitled My EyeSpy360 tour Example Of a Senior Living Apartment: Easy, Fast and Affordable Tour Creation. So my initial thoughts from using the Pilot One as an Apple fanboy, the highest recommendation, the highest compliment that I can make for the Pilot One is that the is that the user experience strives to be Mac-like. And while the user experience is not there yet, I can imagine that the that the Labpano team will achieve a great Mac-like user experience with firmware updates. Well, I have not taken 50 plus 360 cameras for spin, literally there are that many 3D and 360 cameras today 50 plus cameras. That said, I can't imagine that the Pilot One, 2.2 inch touchscreen with logical menus ... I can imagine that the Pilot One 2.2 inch touchscreen with the logical menus is a huge differentiator particularly when it comes to overriding the automatic modes to change camera settings. So it's very easy using the menus to change exposure compensation, the EV value or the WB; the white balance value or focus distance. So not things that you have to remember and press a button and it's a mystery that literally having a touchscreen with menus, it's super-easy to change settings. So that makes a lot of sense for me. I shot with enough 360 cameras to say, it would be really hard for me to go back to using any other 360 camera that does not have a touc
