Matterport AprilTags for empty or repetitive5733

So on the subject of April Tags... this integration really surprises me as Matterport has chosen to integrate an industry recognized method for tagging at the expense of having QR codes hanging in a tour. It's kinda quirky!

I absolutely LOVE options and that Matterport has served a niche market (CRE / Industrial) by adding this OPTIONAL FEATURE.

It's only RARELY necessary to use this, but when an MSP decides that this is the right choice, they can create AprilTag sheets and hang them on walls -- perhaps framing them rather than just taping to a wall.

With the introduction of AprilTags comes a new reason to dream of Matterport giving us the ability to edit our images to remove them in post.

Multiple Accounts in Capture - FANTASTIC! I've been advocating for this and am happy to see it!

Well -- I'm certain that this is true, but would love to mention a few of the things I've been requesting and that others have been requesting.

#1) White labelled tours (international users)
#2) Extraction of Panos in full quality
#3) Ability to edit and reupload panos to remove reflections and ... AprilTags
#4) 'Return to Inside View' button front and center on 360 Views and perhaps MatterTags for 360 Views.
