| Hi All, The WGAN Forum Question of the Day for Sunday, 19 April 2020: Do you like the term "Matterport Capture Technician™ "? (That's Matterport's new, trademark term for a Matterport Service Provider, as announced in the Matterport Capture Services Webinar on Thursday, 16 April 2020.) I will start it off. I prefer the term: Chief Photographer Dan |

| How about "delivery boy"? That's what they want us to be, and how they want to pay us, so let's be honest here. | ||

| No, don't like it. I don't feel like a technician... I was, I am and I will always be a photographer. In this case a 3D photographer. Or Matterport PRO... | ||

| @JanHamorsky - we all have to face the music. Going forward, if we shoot Matterport, we're now "capture technicians." The company's message will never change. "Anyone with a MP camera can to it. Our technicians are all the same." I'll make you a bet. It's only a matter of time until Matterport releases an app like Uber - click the nearest, or quickest "capture technician" who will rush to your property. Anyone want to bet against me? |

Quote:Originally Posted by Home3D @Home3D This app is not necessarily bad, but should NOT be from Matterport. In my upcoming Matterport Capture Services: Dan Smigrod Recommendations | Part 3 - I will write about how Matterport should have handled enterprise companies seeking an "easy button" to order from Matterport Service Providers. Plus, I will address why the app you described (above) should NOT come from Matterport. Patience please. Matterport Capture Services: Dan Smigrod Recommendations | Part 2 will be published in the WGAN Forum the week of 20 April 2020. Here is Matterport Capture Services: Dan Smigrod Recommendations | Part 2. Dan |

| My point is that if ANYONE provides an app like this, it’s the end of professionalism in Matterport services. Because price will be the only driver. Doesn’t matter whether the app is from Matterport or someone else. In any city today you can still call a taxi if you wish rather than Uber, but who does? Dan, I’m intrigued to hear your analysis. You’re better informed than me. |

| Over 4 years of dedicated Technical Services, I have yet to be invited to a F|%*{!<% party. I might go on strike or something. | ||

| On a serious note, I am looking to buy a 360 camera that offers something close to MP. I think i’d like to offer clients a menu of service level alternatives. Any thoughts? | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Home3D I don't want to bet against you  I partially agree with you, I also think the app like this will come sooner or later. For me, Matterport is an additional service to DSLR photo and video, so I will continue to call myself a real estate photographer  until Matterport eats the whole market here and I get jobless ... But it takes time: according to their announcements, they will start their new capture service in only five European countries and Slovakia is not among them... so I am a lucky man  |

| For the last 4 years, I have labelled myself with my business "Chief Photography Officer", This year I changed my title to "Chief Immersive Officer". I'm slowly dropping Matterports naming on all my material. | ||
