Maximum scans for GSV

Matterport is not the right solution for 250,000 SQ FT (large) scans.

Buy a 360º 1-click camera with interval shooting and use CUPIX publishing to Google Street View.

You will be able to scan the space in less than a day!

Some 360º 1-click cameras to look at:

✓ Versus: Theta V-Mi Sphere-Fusion-Insta360 One

✓ Helmet Cam for Google Street View: Helmet + Adhesive Mount + Ricoh Theta V
✓ Matterport Versus CUPIX Image Quality: Which 360º Camera for CUPIX?

Here are all 360º 1-click cameras to be considered ...

If you need a high-end 360º 1-click camera, look at the Insta360 Pro (the Pro 2 has been announced, but not yet shipping.)

Also, it's likely that you will want to moderate your Google Street View Tour. Consider:

✓ MP2SV White-Glove Service
✓ Panoskin Pro (moderate Google Street View Tours)

	Respectfully, I disagree with @Metroplex360 that Matterport is a good solution for scanning 250,000 – even if it is multiple falls. While you might succeed – with the help of MP2SV white glove Google Street View Publishing Service powered by @Metroplex360 – Matterport is simply the wrong tool/platform for a project this size. 1. Matterport website says the following: Models larger than 200 scans are not supported* and are prone to: ✓ iPad running out of memory when capturing ✓ long processing times ✓ potential processing errors ✓ possible failure to process ✓ long loading times and hardware slowdown when viewing If you run into trouble, Matterport will likely site this we-told-you-son webpage. 2. With CUPIX, you can connect multiple floors before publishing to Google Street View Video: How to edit sections with CUPIX (move, combine, connect) \| Video Courtesy of CUPIX YouTube Channel You might find these WGAN Forum discussions helpful: ✓ Matterport Versus CUPIX: Publishing a 3D Tour to Google Street View Two more huge challenges for Matterport to Google Street View Publishing: 1. Matterport does face blurring at the Matterport Capture app level while CUPIX does it in Workspace (The equivalent of Matterport Workshop). With Matterport, what happens when a face does not get blurred property or your kind asks for some blurring on non-faces? With CUPIX, you have total control over blurring. I write extensively about this here in the WGAN Forum: ✓ Matterport Face Blurring (Beta) versus CUPIX Blurring: Which do you prefer? 2. You might ask Matterport – If I hide scans, will the hidden scans be published to Google Street View? – My understanding is yes. This will make the walk around experience a mess. (e.g. walking through walls). You would need to either engage MP2SV to fix this for you or use a Google Street View moderator tool such as Panoskin Pro to fix the "constellation" - the walk around experience. I could imagine that you would need to scan for 15 very-long days with Matterport to complete this project, and that's being optimistic that you could scan 17,000 SQ FT a day. With CUPIX, it's likely that you could complete the project in 1 to 3 days at most. Since labor is the single biggest cost to scanning, you can make this project affordable for the Client and receive a big payment using CUPIX. If you quote with Matterport, the $$$$$ may be so large that the client either decides not to go forward or seeks quotes from others. Your additional thoughts or questions? Best, Dan

	I've been asked to quote a 250,000 sqft hospital to be published to GSV. Anyone have any experience with a project that size, and any thoughts they could share for the process? I know it would have to be several separate models, which raises the question of how many models can be published to a single location? TIA

	If the hospital has multiple floors, Matterport is an excellent solution. The iStar Pulsar is not really intended for interior GSV.

	Thanks for the feedback Dan & Chris. The hospital does have three floors. That was one of my concerns in my query to Matterport. Here is the Q&A I received; 1) Can multiple models be published to GSV with the same address? Yes this can happen. Usually they won't be connected though. 2) Are there any concerns about publishing models with different floors? You can publish models with multiple floors. If you publish each floor separately there isn't a way to tell google what floor of a building you are publishing to. 3) If the primary objective is GSV, does it matter how many scans there are for a single business? You will still need able to create one model and be able to open it up to use workshop so you do still have size limitations for scanning with Matterport. #1 surprised me a little. I was under the impression if there were GSV photospheres in the near vicinity they would connect. Apparently not? #2 I've only published single level so I wasn't sure. Now I am curious how multiple levels are handled.

	Great information Dan. Don't know how I missed the posts from last week, but I did. I will be researching further. Thank you very much!
