 Matterport Capture App Screen Grab of a Matterport scan of a furnished home Hi All, The WGAN Forum Question of the Day for Wednesday, 24 April 2019: On average, how many Matterport scans per furnished home do you do, and why does this info matter to you? Best, Dan |

| For me it varies by project. For instance today I did a project and there are 57 outdoor scans and about 120 indoor scans. It is a shame that Matterport now penalizes us for doing bigger scans(not being able to use prepaid scan allotment). However for me it is about producing the best product for my clients. | ||

| To answer this question, I think it really depends on a number of factors. 1) What segment of the market you are trying to capture? Are you looking to work with the luxury home market, the bread & butter homes, or are you looking to serve the low end market? 2) How good is good enough? If you can scan 1000 sqft with 10 scans and provide an experience that is easy to navigate and does not leave any holes in the Dollhouse view, does it make sense to take 20, 30, or even 40 scans to cover the same area? Do extra scans really enhance the final experience for the user? Are they going to notice the difference? At some point you reach the point of diminishing returns. It is up to each individual MSP to determine where that is. 3) How much time do you have? What is your time worth? What is your clients/homeowners time worth? Again, there has to be a balance where cost, quality and convenience intersect. This largely depends on the efficiency of the operator, the type of home and time available to scan a space. All that being said, for me, I chose to service the Bread & Butter market segment. On average, I can minimally stage, scan and photograph a 2500 sqft home in 1.5 hours. At the end of the session, I will have completed roughly 40 scans (both interior and exterior) and taken 35 - 40 images. If I were scanning with the purpose of generating a data rich 3D model, I would take about 100 scans. Cheers! JonJ |

| @JonJ Thank you for your thoughtful and detailed explanation and insight. This is great guidance for both those that are new and even seasoned Pros. Sounds like you log the details of all your Matterport projects including start/end time and number of scans. Best, Dan |
