How Long for a 2,000 SQ FT (ish) home with Ricoh Theta Z1 on Matterport?

jimfelder

11 daysJonJ (1649): If the property is staged and ready to go, I would say 10-15 minutes for every 1000 sqft. Allocate additional time for setup (initial walk-through, adjusting items/blinds and turning on lights) and take down if that is something you are responsible for. The above estimate assumes that there are no distractions and does include time for additional 360 views.

My issue is when I use theta camera I can get the floor plan because there is no infrared. But I can ask 3rd party to make a floor plan. In this case, how they are calibrate the measurement?...

14 daysRichardStanton (204): This is because of your outside scanning of 3D data. The capture app and showcase are tuned for indoor environments, so it does not always know what to do with things like tree lines, etc. overlapping. You can use the trim feature to cut away what does not overlap to clean things up a bit. The splotches are just a lack of 3D data, outside small things over a larger distance = no 3d data. What you WILL get is the outside of the house....

Comparing the image quality of a tour done with the Z1 today with the same tour done three years ago with MP Pro1, the resolution of the Z1 seems superior than MP Pro1 (the dollhouse is not as clean though). Which makes me think that for regular spaces like a home, you can replace the Pro1 with the Z1 and travel much lighter.
