Are the quality of pro1 tours getting worse?

JCHAFE

7 monthsjasondavidpage (193): In the first example you provided, those "beams" seem to remind me of when your cell phone lens has been cleaned but there are oils still on the lens. You may need to get a qtip with and alcohol pad or lens cleaning pad and do a thorough cleaning of the protective glass in front of it. On another note, I too have the first version and feel like the processing is getting worse for most scans that I do.

8 monthsMeshImages (388): Recently I have re-uploaded an old tour, which could not be processed two years ago (Pro 1). Now it could. Cloud rendering has significantly improved, too. This model is a 7.500 SQM (75.000 SQFT) "Matterport monster". https://forum.we-get-around.com/cached/2faea93f2dd8c0a0791ef92efbaf92ec.gif

11 monthsMetroplex360 (8536): @HarlanHambright While I cannot confirm this, I think that the Matterport Camera does do 5 exposures... just not sure on what the intervals are. Of course, I would suspect that the sensor is by no means comparable to a DSLR - but is quite capable in its own right. @NestorSarmiento It's one of those use-case things. For a Realtor who might not own a DSLR, the Matterport is a single device that can produce photos that are automatically HDR. ...

1 yearDanSmigrod (16753): @tomasdunbar Imagine that you have a great venue for a wedding, BUT you are not getting as many in-person visits by potential brides. Using a Matterport 3D Tour to help generate more in-person visits, may well be worth the investment. For example, my wife and I stayed at a nice hotel in Atlanta during a recent hurricane. While there, I learned that they do many Indian weddings that typically last three full days and have many out-of-town...

1 yearMetroplex360 (8536): @JCHAFE Yes, they are better. HDR on windows is still not DSLR quality. I wonder if Matterport just blindly takes each image and HDRs -- rather than spot metering ... that would be interesting if it would spot meter for the brightest and darkest areas.
