Hi DanSmigrod!! I'm a matterport service provider based in India. Could you please help me differentiate matterport from http://walkinto.in/ of course apart from the floor plan and dollhouse view. Finding it really difficult on closing this client. Would really appreciate help from anyone in the forum.

Thanks & Regards,
Tejas Mithapelli

Hi Tejas

I can provide some answers to you questions regarding Walkinto which is nothing more then Google Business View (BV) as I've shot for them in the past.

First and foremost BV is not a free form type of virtual tour (VT) you have to stick with the arrows so you can't just roam around.

Secondly, you very rarely find a BV tour that covers a vast area as it's very difficult to orientate the links within Google pano editor. This is a major advantage in shooting a VT with Matterport.

Again I stress that MP is a true immersive free form VT you can walk up the stairs move freely throughout the property.

Try asking a Trusted Google Photographer to shoot a 200 pano shoot. They'll look at with with glossed over eyes as it's next to impossible to do that. Even a shoot of 20 pano's can be a pain if there not all in a straight lines.

BV is the poor mans VT and Matterport is the professional solutions in producing VT's.

I hope this has been helpful. If you need anymore advice please don't hesitate to ask.

Best of luck
Gary

Hi Gary!! Thanks a lot, I really appreciate your help. Now I'm more confident than before. But what about the integrated analytics that they are offering and also the other features like adding labels, audio, etc.?

I still think matterport is ahead of the game and if it keeps improving software also will be able to use 3rd party cameras.

Another good look is at is Google buying Metaio (speculation).

Moreover guys any thoughts / comments on latest news:

- GoPro buying Kolor
- GoPro announcing a 360° camera rig for pro's http://venturebeat.com/2015/05/27/gopro-announces-a-3000-spherical-camera-rig-for-capturing-vr-video/
- Google teaming with GoPro for a 16 camera rig to shoot virtual reality with software kit JUMP https://www.google.com/get/cardboard/jump/

Now, I do think MP is still the solution for shooting interiors 3d tours for real estate:

- their camera measures depths
- point, shoot, upload and get a fully functional model in no time.
- a community (Dan's amazing work)
- an api
- so many more reasons...

I am looking forward to your thoughts on this.

I was at a camera store the other day and the clerk suggested the Ricoh Theta 360 cam thats only 500 bucks. He said alot of agents were opting for this since its so simple to use,you can mount it anywhere and pictures came together in a snap. Any thoughts on this product?

I bought one of the first Gen Ricoh Theta cameras and yes...it is very easy to use. The idea/concept behind the design is awesome.

Unfortunately, IMO, the photo quality leaves something to be desired. The produced images are relatively "grainy" given the amount of light typically available to indoor spaces. I've heard the 2nd Gen version of the camera is better in lower light situations...but still nothing great.

I still use our Theta for outdoor shots and I think it has significant value when creating quick Google Photospheres, custom "Street Views" and custom grouped "constellations".

Links:
https://maps.google.com/maps/about/contribute/photosphere/
https://support.google.com/maps/answer/3203091?hl=en&rd=1

Unfortunately, I think the old saying of "you get what you pay for" holds true when it comes to the Theta.

Dear Dan,

Do you have any Idea when google tango will be released commercially to the public. If it releases then what is the impact for matter port business users. Real estate agents can create Apartment walk through their 3D enabled phone ( current test phone price 500$). Then they will no be any demand for matter port professional.
