| A Forum Member writes: "Dan quick question. I'm an iPhone user would the Samsung work with an iPhone? The other options look very cheap and not very professional from what I’ve seen, example, cardboard viewer." [redacted] --- I replied: For viewing Matterport Spaces in VR, the iPhone only works with Google Cardboard. The Samsung Gear VR only works with Samsung smartphones. If you are looking for an upscale Google Cardboard, try: ✓ Merge VR Viewer ✓ Homido1 VR Viewer ✓ View-Master Deluxe VR Viewer Other recommendations for "upscale" Google Cardboard 2.0? Best, Dan |

| The Forum Member replied: "Thanks Dan ill give these a look…. Do you know if the quality is as good? I guess the quality would be from the phone really? I could be wrong as Ive never used one before. Last thing, do we as 3D Matterport people do we have to do anything different on our end to scan a home? Ive seen the VR at the bottom of my Matterport but dont have anything to view it with." [redacted] -- My reply ... The viewing experience is the screen + how light is blocked out so that you feel immersed. For less than $50, buy one of these three! For Matterport CoreVR - when you scan - think about "which scans" you would want to view from in VR. It's likely that you do not need to do anything differently when scanning for Matterport CoreVR. That said, it is likely that you could optimize the Matterport CoreVR viewing experience by being very selective about using only some of the scans for VR. Okay? Dan |

| The Forum Member writes: "Perfect! I thought the goggle were more expensive then that… As this would be more for a selling point to the realtor for me as I dont normally see the home owner until its time to shoot." --- For clarification, ✓ Merge VR Viewer is about $60 ✓ Homido1 VR Viewer is about $35 ✓ View-Master Deluxe VR Viewer is about $32 I did this Matterport VR 101 because I do get asked many questions like this. So, please do post your question or PM me and I will answer it here. Thanks, Dan |

| @jward If I was buying a smartphone today to demo Matterport Spaces in CoreVR Virtual Reality, I would get: ✓ Samsung phone to show on Samsung GearVR and Google Cardboard ✓ Google Pixel phone to demo on Google Daydream and Google Cardboard ✓ Apple iPhone to demo on Google Cardboard I could imagine that LG, Huawei or Xiaomi would work find with Matterport webVR. Before buying a LG, Huawei or Xiaomi smartphone, I recommend that you ask Matterport Support. (Please do share what you learn as well.) Have fun in China, Dan |

| This was a big help and saved me a ton of time, thank you for your input Dan. I have an iPhone so I ended up purchasing a Homido V2 for the purposes of demoing to prospective clients. One thing I had overlooked is the foam backing. How can I make it sanitary for everyone trying it? Is there some sort of disposable film I can purchase? |
