Fair warning, it is a very technical tool. Their hosting is very good too, but you need to know how to manage a server. Otherwise you are better off with someone like BlueHost.

When you do that and go back to the 360 tour, the 3d floor plan doesn't show up in the bottom left...

They say it helps to show that they use the best technology to market and sell their homes, and it works. Almost all say the 3D tour on display has greatly enhanced their open houses.

Matterport Ad Hoc "Strike Force" to Take Care of Big Corporate Clients

1 yearDanSmigrod (23374): @Wingman If Matterport has a lead for you, they will send you an email that connects you to the lead. What I write about (above) is different than a lead. It's Matterport placing an order directly with you. Best, Dan

Will Matterport help create demand among home sellers?

DanSmigrod

1 yearHome3D (2347): Only when and if Matterport invests money in advertising which is DIRECTED AT HOME SELLERS - the general public. They have not done this for five years running, instead pitching mostly agents, OUR clients. You do the math. Matterport should be devoting Chris Bell's time to getting Matterport in front of the general public. This would cause sellers to ask agents for 3D tours, and this would cause agents to hire photographers to create them....

Are you a product seller or a service consultant?

1 yearbryanhscott (806): @3DVirtuallyThere Got it on the target customer. Regarding being a product seller or a service consultant, my point was not about sales tax laws and their application to labor (services) or products (widgets). It was really more about methodology and procedure. In other words, when you walk into Walmart to shop for TVs, you have to already know what you want and why, because you will likely not get any real assistance from an employee. ...

Does Realtor.com re-use MP tours?

Is it better to Target the Top Producers in your Market?

Sara_iGuide

1 yearQueen_City_3D (2632): To further my earlier reply.... DEFINITELY go after the top producers. If you get them on board you will be getting 10-20 jobs for every 1 you might get with an average agent. That said, I think there will be more willingness from the up and comers to invest in the added cost to win themselves some new business.

Do this twice a week for 50 weeks and that's $7,750 more a year. Do this four times a week, and that's $15,500. Easy money!

How to Publish Matterport 360º Snapshots to Facebook

DanSmigrod

2 yearserikolsonmba (52): I have done a few tours recently and scanned in 360 mode. However, it appears you still have to take a "snapshot" of those 360 scans in order to download them. What is purpose of taking the extra time and scanning the 360 if you have to use the snapshot tool? I have not done a GSV yet.

If we could get access to the Raw Data from the Camera, this would give us to opportunity to try it out.

You currently only show dollhouse- which is the grainiest lowest quality of matter port. Almost looks like iguide or something else. The magic of matter port is how realistic it is, especially in first person view moving from circle to circle. Show it off!

If you could add one or multiple XML feeds to a tag we're off and running. This is well within the capabilities of the wizards at Matterport.

How Matterport Should Charge for Street View

DanSmigrod

3 yearsViewing (583): We'll have to wait and see what the nominal fee is. I just can't get my thinking away from the fact that we would be paying Matterport to publish their own 3D tour to Google. Bill Google if they're going to bill anyone. Don't bill us or the client by default as it's neither ours nor the client's 3D tour to publish to Google Street View. The greatest respect as always and I do appreciate the staff commitment to making GSV happen. We shouldn't be...

It's based on the same psychology we use when teaching fire safety or mass panic situations, look for the exits that are OPPOSITE of where you came in because people will go the way they are most familiar.

If the client sends you a list of Amazon items and tells you to include their id # so they get a kick-back, then you are providing a white-glove custom integration service that requires testing and precision. I would recommend providing a free # of MatterTags with each tour. Allow -1- video and up to 5...
