| @MeshImages GREAT! Hi All, Other reasons that Matterport should grandfather in existing Matterport owners as it moves forward with charging? Or, keep OBJ free and offer a higher quality OBJ in the bundle? best, Dan |

| Matterport won't be grandfathering anyone. A la carte pricing for the OBJ was on the table, it's now off. It's my hope that slow adoption of MatterPak would inspire a conversation about reintroducing the OBJ as a low price single download option. Seems that it would generate more revenue. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by DanSmigrod In our case, we had an agreement with a customer with 53 spaces, that now will have to pay 2597$ to get his OBJ. Because this was not in our contract, this will be removed from our earnings. So we worked for 3 months almost for free. Consider also that we are European, and this behaviour is illegal in Europe. A Newsletter is not considered legal to communicate contractual changes between a company and it's customers. I am not American so I don't follow Matterport as you do. I have a few questions: - isn't Matterport quoted at the stock exchange? did this bad decision influence their value? it should ... - did some of you thought of organizing a class action against this ? - did some of you thought of buying a few % of Matterport at the stock exchange to try to influence their decisions ? |

| @ELAN42, Matterport is still working in start-up mode and it is not listed in any stock exchange. Precisely, the reason Matterport is doing all kind of weird "strategic" movements is to improve their position when and if they go to the market with an IPO. Of course they think that their move is the right one....I don´t Purchasing Matterport stock? No thanks! These guys knnow a lot about technology but I am not so sure they are as good when it comes to business strategy. |

Actually we was very concise with a public post, and our opinion is negative too: |

| Hi All, Here's what Matterport had to say on this topic on 17 January 2018. I could imagine if we keep this topic active, Matterport will Make the .obj free again. Otherwise, potential camera buyers reading this discussion will have second thoughts about buying a Matterport Camera. I have proposed a solution - which I feel is fair. Grandfather in all all existing Matterport clients to free. Especially, since the .obj has been free since I bought our Matterport Camera in July 2014 - and there was never any discussion by Matterport that at some point it would charge for the .obj. Matterport, reward your early adopters. Return us into raving fans! Best, Dan   |

| Hi All I just bought our first $49-bundle. I need the pointcloud xyz. Not happy, but since I got the xyz with the obj I saved myself that conversion at veriscian as I did before. Coincidentally it was an update of a construction site I had scanned and converted twice before. And while the first two scans, converted by veriscian, matched quite fine it seeems the pointcloud matterpak provides is not accurate, say it was about 6% to big on the x-scale and about 3% on the y-scale. Anybody made an similar experience? Best from Switzerland Maire |

| Sorry, it crosschecked, It's the scan that was not precise at all, not the conversion. | ||

| Hi All, Perhaps Matterport announced Matterport Ecosystem so that we would forget about the $49 charge for MatterPak that includes something that was free since the beginning of time (with no indication that Matterport would ever charge for it). Dan |

| No, I will not forget. Many unforeseen changes on terms and conditions in the last weeks. Matterport is still a great product. But after all these unforeseen changes it is hard to build a solid business on the Matterport platform. What comes next? | ||

| @DanSmigrod Hey Dan.. Is something new that wasn't disclosed before today? I thought the bundled assets & pricing was something we were already informed about. Am I missing anything? | ||
