=======================================================================================

1. Early Imagination of Renovation (Particularly for Small Renovation Projects): The Matterport Pro3 Camera can be used for early design and planning purposes. It can help architects visualize the existing space and propose renovations. It can provide enough data for architects to propose renovations to their clients. [Data should not be used for construction where accuracy measurements are required.]

2. Vendor Quotations: The digital twin from the Matterport Pro3 Camera can be used to provide data for vendors to quote for paint, floor, or other installations. While the vendors will do their own measurements, the data from the camera can give them a good idea of the scope of the project.

3. Visual Tours: The Matterport Pro3 Camera is excellent at creating visual tours of a space. This can be useful for clients to understand the layout and design of a building.

4. Supplementary Data Collection: The Matterport Pro3 Camera can be used in conjunction with other tools to collect supplementary data. For example, it can be used alongside a high-end LiDAR scanner to collect high-quality imagery.

5. Repository for Additional Imagery: The digital twin from a Matterport Pro3 Camera can be used to store additional close-up imagery of specific features of a building, such as window sills or profiles.

6. Visual Documentation: The Matterport Pro3 Camera is excellent for visual documentation of a space. This can be useful for architects, engineers, and construction professionals to understand the layout and design of a building. [See SuperViz for collaboration and communication examples.]

7. Turnkey Building Documentation: The Matterport Pro3 Camera can be used to provide turnkey visual building documentation. This includes a complete view of what's in the field, delivered in a manner that's easy to understand by architects, engineers, and owners.

8. Building Documentation for Non-Technical Stakeholders: The Matterport Pro3 Camera can be used to provide building documentation for non-technical stakeholders. The visual tours and imagery can be easily understood by anyone, regardless of their technical knowledge.

9. Building Documentation for Insurance Purposes: The Matterport Pro3 Camera can be used to visually document a building for insurance purposes. This can be useful in case of a disaster or other event that damages the building.

10. Voice Notes and Written Field Notes: The Matterport Pro3 Camera tour can be used to add voice notes and written field notes to the visual tour. This can be useful for providing additional context or information about the building. [See NSPECT, SIMLAB and AETOS IMAGING for examples]
