"Wish List" for Matterport Workshop10473

I've requested one of my spaces be duplicated.

Before I try it out on a job I'm delivering to a client I'd better make sure I've got a processed duplicate waiting on deck in case of blur disaster.

My big question about the blur tool is why is has to be a 3D tool. That's obviously a big reason it has taken so long and is still in beta. Years ago they could have spent about 5 minutes implementing a panorama blur tool and rolled it out while they worked on the 3D version. Sure, we'd have had to manually blur every panorama where an undesirable feature was visible, but on the other hand, we could have been blurring out stuff YEARS AGO.

The dollhouse mini videos. Is there any way to control where these start or end? I do a lot of companies and find the downloadable short and long videos start or finish in the kitchen. Fine if it’s a fancy house but no good for a tour that is meant to be showing off a demo room.

2) Give the clients a reason to use the tours, it's more a nice to have than a need to have.

3) We own our content period

4) Allow us the 3rd party to develop anything, and not restrict us by doing exclusive features with some MSP developers

When I used to shoot for residential luxury real estate I was often shooting estates larger than 4000 sqft interior plus exterior. 20+ rooms in total. Some of them bigger than 10.000 sqft interior space.

For these properties I have developed a special Matterport technique that I am calling ”shoot4photography” with Matterport. You shoot the regular tour slightly above door knob level and also take some extra “photography” shots in lower level at the sweet spots.

I had to work with this process because clients and realtors only provided a certain time frame between 1/2 day or maximum full day for the shooting, which made it impossible to take the extra walk with a professional Photo System Camera (DSLR). Especially not in these mega properties.

So I learned to improve the quality from the Matterport snapshots and developed this shoot4photography process slightly overshooting (shooting more points than necessary). My material even went on print and we were very very successful with these images.

I’m still offering my “shoot4photography” workflow in all time-critical virtual tour situations - even though I am not shooting single residential real estate anymore. This workflow gives great material in good quality (Pro3) and with outstanding perspectives in the virtual tour and also in the optional flythrough/video mode (play button).

This is the process we use as well. But it's a hassle to move the tripod height up and down, and to go back after processing to edit the tour to disable the low positions in the walkthrough.

What would help:
1) A motorized tripod that will raise and lower at the click of a button. These exist, but we don't have one yet.
2) Matterport updates their Capture system to include something like:
A) Automatic detection of low positions, disabled by default if we check that box in our account.
OR
B) Simple process for marking a scan during capture as "to be disabled". After processing, these low scans are disabled automatically. No need for wasted time editing the scan positions after processing.

The thing is, we don't want to edit the scan positions in Matterport tour at all after processing. The obvious time to do that is on site, when we're actually making the decision of which scans are for a better dollhouse, which are for 2D photos, and which are for the walkthrough. It's duplicated effort to go back and assess all over again the next day. (Usually this is done by a different person, not the one who captured the space. So it's easy for them to miss the nuance.)

We want to deliver the link the the client, dust our hands off, and keep moving. Imagine how much time could be saved if we didn't have to duplicate this effort with every space scanned? This seems like low hanging fruit for Matterport. It's probably lost in a sea of other feature requests.

Perfect timing to call out the ugly issue of the black hole. Based on the MP guys facial expressions. They understand our headache with this. They suggest a 3rd party to address the issue. They also mentioned vague work arounds that I feel we all know don't seem to work.

Fortunately it sounds like they are working on a solution. Fingers crossed!

Just to elaborate, I use Captur3d for my floor plans because I love the property layout they include that shows the full property layout. So, obviously I have to wait for my Matterport to finish processing before I can submit it to Capture3d. Before I submit it though, I go in and edit the property layout and properly label the rooms how I want, and add walls to separate rooms that are combined usually like the living, dining, and kitchen. Right now I have to carry my laptop with me to do this. It would be awesome if this tool was available when accessing your account on your iPad. It's the only tool I see missing for some reason. Usually it's the last icon.

Anyone know how to leave feedback to Matterport or request a feature?

The ability to retouch / enhance is a critical function for consumer-end tours, whether for real estate or commerce. To protect the interests of clients such as insurance and law enforcement, Matterport can embed a notice into any enhanced tour signifying that image changes were made. Insurance clients using collaborator scan professionals can "lock" their accounts to reject enhanced models. This is all easy to do, just takes a decision by Matterport.
