If Matterport does not specify a fixed character tittle length, then automatically shrink font size

Enable multiple lines of centered text (so that text can be displayed nicely. (I spend a lot of time to get the line breaks to look nice)

If you can not make the entire screen active for launching the 3D Showcase, consider moving the 3D Showcase bar to the top of text instead of the bottom. This will make the 3D Showcase blue bar always visible on a smartphone or tablet (when using responsive iFrame ebed code)

Full-screen icon -- presently in the top right of 3D Showcase -- needs to be obvious and easier.

Thanks @ben for this 3D Showcase display idea ...

Hide the address bar while interacting with a model on an iPad.

Thanks @jamie for this 3D Showcase idea

Have the 3D Showcase blue bar appear above the name. It's below the border on a mobile device if you have a long name (unless you put it in portrait mode)

Thanks @alx3D for this idea...

When using your mouse you can right click and rotate the model. (It is so counter intuitive, I wish LEFT click was rotate and Right click was pan)

Make the Full dollhouse the default. See this Forum thread.

Should be a "?" icon or something on the Showcase to trigger the instructions for navigating the 3D Showcase.

Responsive Design embed code AND account for especially long titles.

This is a screen grab of an iPhone 6 with an especially long title.

Perhaps limit the title length + responsive iFrame embed code design.

Now that we can set the default image in Workshop, I usually like to use a Dollhouse view because it is so unique and clickable. But then when users click the "Inside View" icon, it jumps to some seemingly random inside location. I'd like to also be able to set a default Inside view postion/angle so clicking on that icon would go to a spot specified by me.

Trim ceiling (mirrors, skylights) suggested by @alx3D

I think there are really only two major areas that we all should wish for. Everything else is for our own convenience.

(1) Photo Quality: Let's be honest, when you put a Matterport Virtual Tour next to a beautifully photoshopped 360 degree tour with saturated colors, hdr, and lots of contrast, there's no comparison. I'm really hoping that quality will improve. Along with photo quality, I would love to see the software clean up all the artifacts and shapes made by bookshelves, ceiling beams, windows, and so on. Because frankly, as cool as the dollhouse feature is, to many people it looks extremely messy.

(2) Speed: I think the loading time needs to be cut in half before people stop noticing the time it takes for WebGL to load. 10-30 seconds needs to be cut down to 3-10 seconds.

I don't want to come across as negative because I'm blown away by this technology and the devs at Matterport are doing incredible work but this is my take on what needs to be improved for more widespread acceptance.

There is a company that allowed this tool to its 360° tours - www.prestigevision.com - it opens a pop-up when clicking.
I believe that this would bring a high potentiality to Matterport and I wrote a request to support department to add this feature to showcases.
What do you think? Any suggestion?
Thanks

In those 10-15 seconds of loading, there's so much potential!

More instructions, a much more developed animation sequence that keeps your attention, or a slideshow of exterior photos!

Plus, the blue status bar should move more evenly across the bottom giving the user the impression that it's coming soon.

I throughly dislike how the "scoll funton" works with my mouse. I have a MacBook Magic Mouse that I think is very common but any slight touch will cause me to run around in the model. Just remove it. Click to go. Simple. I have to use the built in laptop mouse to look at the showcase on my computer because it is unusable with this scroll feature.

Would like to see a keyboard shortcut to jump between floors. Lots of keyboard controls for everything else but jumping floors would be good.

Ok wishlist for the new showcase.

1 Matterport Branding is getting more and more obtusive. Nothing, then 1/3 of the load time, now full load time in color. Hard for us to get business when matterport is cannibalizing this network.

2. Why get rid of the icons for floor plan and dollhouse? I hate the word dollhouse because it is a subconscious (or conscious) deterrent for most a large portion of male viewers. Do you like playing with dolls? I mean do you like the dollhouse? It is emasculating. Keep the icon, loose the text or change it so something like "3D overview" or "DH view" even..

I've no doubt that MatterTags will be a hit. I hope that beyond tagging objects, we'll also be able to do the following:

- Search by tag (e.g. find this artifact)
- Filter by tag (e.g. find all artifacts made in China)
- Thumbnails (e.g. here is what this artifact looks like)
- Navigate to tag (e.g. jump to artifact in walkthrough mode)
- Wayfinding (e.g. Show me on a floormap where this artifact is located based on where I’m now)
- iFrame support (e.g. I can show an image, video, PDF, or multimedia presentation about the artifact)
- Storytelling mode (e.g. playlist of artifacts with narrations that automatically advance)

New to version 2.0, after transitioning from dollhouse into initial starting view there is about 1.5 seconds while the camera rotates and pans to the starting point. During this time if you try to go anywhere or open up dollhouse view the 3D Showcase is unresponsive.

Also when playing the guided tour when you click play or next the showcase is unresponsive during the slow travel and pan time.

If you click on something it should override (or at least accelerate). For instance if you click the "next slide" thing and then click again as it slowly takes you from a to b it should speed it up.

don't know if this has been put already (I presume yes) but we should have a way to blur some sections for privacy, it's a seller brake to my point of you to not have this option.
