Hi All,

What's on your 'Wish List' for Matterport SDK?


@Metroplex360 sent me his list. Seems like a great list to kick off this ...

Wish List: Matterport SDK

Best,

Dan

Matterport Co-Founder Matt Bell's Vision

"We plan to build on top of [the Matterport] platform, so that not only will people have easy access to 3D spaces, but they’ll be able to use apps that run on top of that platform to enable a whole new level of utility.

For example, if you wanted to auto-generate a floor plan, or virtually shop for furniture, those will be tools that you’ll be able to invoke on our online or mobile platform. Or what if for fun, you wanted your house re-rendered and turned into a videogame as a post-apocalyptic dwelling with zombies running around?

Some of those tools will be built internally, but we’re also going to bring in an ecosystem of third party app developers to add additional functionality to Matterport in a wide variety of ways."
