Question of the Day: What does it mean that Matterport now has a new CEO?

DanSmigrod

8 hoursVTLV (1354): We get a new CEO announced in other news sources and nothing from the company in my email this week. Not feeling very hopeful about this one. What ever remarks he's made about the current tour inventory clearly support what the shareholders want back for returns. Returns they're not getting after 5 years of investing from Camera and hosting fees.

Despite that, the quality of the depth data and image capture of the Pro-2 produces a better tour! At 134 Megapixels, delivering the clarity of the Pro-2 is something that no other platform and no other camera does like Matterport. And like Dan said --

Constant alignment errors, low overlap errors, sensor error issues, and now it seems like the battery is dropping quicker than ever.

Even the floor plans I've gotten back from matterport are warped so somethings gotta be wrong.(I'll attach an example). We've had the camera...

Php 7.2 and Wordpress 5.0 what to know

GlennTremain

6 daysGlennTremain (1615): By the end of December your site has to use php 7.2. Php 5.6 and 7.0 will no longer have security updates supported. 85% of Wordpress uses will be caught off guard on Jan 1. Additionally Wordpress 5.0 is being released and many warn to backup your site before you upgrade to “Gutenberg” aka 5.0 because the editor is brand new and it is already known to conflict you some themes and plugins.

How to integrate WP3D Models with a WIX Website

DanSmigrod

6 daysDanSmigrod (16876): @Metroplex360 While I would agree with you that any Matterport Service Provider starting out should build their site on WordPress so that they can take advantage of WP3D Models, for those that already have a WIX, SquareSpace or other site, they can still add WordPress just for WP3D Models. This way, the photographer does not have to redo their entire website to get the benefits of WP3D Models. Happy holidays, Dan
