| I really do not know the answer to this, but someone shared with me that MATTERPORT Cortex was built with what they called our copyrighted scans? Is that true are we getting paid for that? If this is true, where in the terms of Service did we give out permission for that. If we protest this will be be terminated according to section 9 of the Terms of USE? @Jwbuckl |

| Not sure what you mean by "built by" previous scans. In Matterport's own words, "We use our unique Cortex AI (artificial intelligence) technology to approximate 3D depth from 2D cameras that don’t have 3D depth sensors. Cortex understands objects, rooms, and the detailed characteristics of a space. It is a machine learning algorithm that is trained on billions of individual 3D images and data points from Matterport's large, worldwide library of 3D spaces." [SOURCE] ... I personally find it a stretch to equate training an algorithm on previous scans to being built by previous scans. After all, I'm sure they could have built the system without your particular models or mine for that matter... and aren't we happy with Cortex's ability to get rid of the black light spots on models??! |

| Does it matter honestly? 1. Would you prefer that the technology from which you are making money does not progress? 2. They are not breaching any privacy laws. 3. Your copyrighted images are not being displayed or sold. While posting... One of the first examples of face recognition that I saw was probably 20 years ago from Fujifilm and it worked well. They had access to millions of photos which, in those days, were scanned from negatives as one step in the print process. However, face recognition is now being used by Facebook and others in a way that definitely breaches privacy. |

| I think Matterport most probably has some cameras of their own that they can use. I would be honored if they used my footage to create this awesome tool, I have seen the concrete benefits from it. | ||

| Again I do not know about this I am asking a TECH question. I was told by someone that to build CORTEX a massive amount of scans would have to be used and that the "Data Base" of scans (which would be our copyrighted scans) were used for this purpose. The comparison that was used was your friend used your car without permission. Maybe you get upset maybe you just let it go. What I am asking is how did it happen. Was the data bank used? The next step would be if Matterport did this want more will they do with that data bank? Does Delete mean delete? |

| So in the traditional sense you do not have copyright as if you took the picture with any other camera, say a Nikon, Canon or Sony, so why call it a camera? Interesting. Heck why call it a copyright? Think if your client insisted on having the copyright to the image can you really agree? Almost like you have to be an attorney to figure this out, right? | ||
