@evittore

Thank you for asking this question. In nearly 10 years, it's the first time that it has been asked.

While I do not know the answer to your question, two thoughts:

1. Here is a workaround, just in case: Tip: (Video) How to Photoshop a 360 within a Matterport Tour for Android

2. Here is a 60,000 SQFT exhibition - shot after hours. You might "walk around" to see if you spot any monitors that are on and to see how Matterport handled it. (That said, @MatterFix shot it with a Matterport Pro3 Camera.

Jam packed Geo-Week this year!

Digital Twins have definitely arrived!

Got a chance to put my Matterport Pro3 Camera thru the pace: 60,000 SQ FT in about 1 1/2 hours!

Still had 60% battery left.

Only had to redo 3 scans due to alignment!

Here is the same space - shot with a Matterport Pro2 Camera - in 2022 by @MatterFix

Hi all,

So I'm done with the scan. It was a tough one as I had only about 1-1.5 hours for ~800 m2, early in the morning before the opening of the exhibition, and the guys were already around, preparing stuff.

But the Pro2 handled the monitors (CRT, LCD, vintage monochrome gas plasma screens!) very well (of course except when ghosting occured in-pic, but that's fine).

But no banding visible (probably because of the quite long shutter speeds). And not much monitors were on yet anyway (as it turned out later, it was full house all day, so it would have been impossible to make the scan later than the preparation phase).

(sorry for Hungarian-only captions, please note that it's a fully nonprofit exhibition so please ignore that the place is basically a school's gym

	Hello guys, I try to do a virtual tour of a retro PC exhibition, which means a lot of CRT monitors (preferred to be turned on). Does anyone have any experience how the Pro2 handles the whatever Hz flickering of the monitors? I have no CRT-s at home (actually almost anywhere I guess ) to try it in advance, and also does not have the time to check it on site (scan/upload/wait for the model - just not enough time for that).

	Hi @evittore, Looks like the scan came out the best it could. We over at Zuant recently scanned an expedition hall in Vegas for a Tradeshow Event Tech Live. The scan was shot with a Pro 2 which was perfect for this hall as it was indoors. The Pro2 handled the screens and various displays very well however we did find that the lights reflected off the floor quite sharply. This scan was shot at the end of the 1st day hence a few booths looking a little messy but there is only so much as photographers we can do!
