| Robert Scoble (25 May 2020) Can Apple sell Glasses for cost? Yes, here's how it will turn LIDAR, AR, QR, and ApplePay into major profits "Well, every Starbucks will soon have a digital twin built of it. Apple has been walking employees around with expensive 360-degree cameras and other sensors capturing stores and other indoor places into a computer in a backpack. Why is it doing this? To build a new Spatial Computing map of these stores," writes Robert Scoble. "The opportunities for retailers to get new customers into their stores, and serve them much better, are endless. For Apple this further extends the Apple ecosystem and builds new shopping services that will disrupt Amazon," writes Robert Scoble. "Even my 7-Eleven (there's one at the end of my street) has sizable ApplePay signs. The power of Apple at retail is already pretty strong and it will, starting later this year, use these new QR codes, LIDARs, and, by 2023 Glasses. In fact, my friend in Israel says that at Apple there's a new urgency to get glasses on the market to enable just this kind of use case and keep Amazon from doing damage to its partners with its new contact-less transaction stores, Amazon-Go (which uses hundreds of cameras and other sensors to watch you walk around a store and automatically charges you when you take products off of the shelf. Apple's system can do the same with just a pair of glasses)," write Robert Scoble. |

| This is great. I tend to go insecure when I see these posts, like, "OMG, 'they' are going to take all the business!" But no, this opens the door to the general public's consciousness. I am planning on doing a tutorial, "Why Matterport Matters" to post on YouTube. I predict every retail store will want this sooner than later. I was inspired to create this tutorial after a realtor asked if I would shoot photos of a 1900 sq ft home and provide floor plans. I asked her if she would like me to do a Matterport tour, pull photos from that tour, provide floorpans and GIFT her the tour--for a RIDICULOUSLY low price. She shot back an email the next day saying, "Thanks, I found someone else". I realize that pulled photos from Matterport are 90-95% the quality of bracketed shots--windows are often problematic. But seriously, for a smaller home in rural Massachusetts I can't imagine anyone noticing. Now, if this was a million+ property, yes, quality of photos must be impeccable. Windows can't be overexposed as they frequently are in MP. Anyway, I am convinced more education is needed. (some) Realtors are intimidated and want the SAME thing they've been doing--30-40 pics with floor plans. Matterport still has a ways to go in making their links easily accessible to all sites. For example. The other day I was formatting a MailChimp campaign. After trying several different ways to embed I kept getting a message that MC didn't like the MP iframe. So I took a screen shot of the tour, placed the image in my email campaign and *linked* it to the tour. That worked perfectly. I felt clever for a few moments. |

| I've been doing Starbucks for about 2 years but the scans are for pre and post rennovation. | ||
