What is the best camera/system for producing a 360 tour of a college campus

HunsletRiviera

9 daysHunsletRiviera (4): Hello WGAN I'm looking for some advice, I am the proud owner and operator of a Matterport Pro 2, and have recently received an enquiry about creating a virtual tour of a college campus here in the UK. The campus is rather large, sparse grounds with many different faculty buildings. I know that Matterport struggles to cope over a certain amount of scans, and I 100% believe that this campus is too large for Matterport to handle in a single...

Seems like while it may be possible to scan an open commercial space at the rate of 5,000 SQ FT in an hour, I wonder if this is the exception rather than the norm: particularly for the space that Matterport shows when they make the claim of 5,000 SQ FT an hour. I wish Matterport would provide a real-time video of 5,000 SQ FT shot in an hour using a Pro2 so that we can see the...

Ricoh Theta Z1 versus Matterport Pro2 3D Camera for Outdoor scans?

Paulo

2 monthsWingman (1425): I cannot comment on using a Z1 with Matterport. I have just never seen any reason to do it since I have a Pro2. As for using it to capture a 360 I believe the further you are from objects the more chance you have to make a 360 without any stitching errors. It is better to stay at least 50cm away from any object and that distance applies to a Pro2 as well.

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.

But of course it's done during further processing, so in 100% cases final model would look better and more aligned then the one you see on the phone. Of course it doesn't mean you don't need to check it time to time, not to miss some serious...

2 yearssbl110 (283): Hi Marcia, In the "Lights off" model, I only used the Bell & Howell light bar. Note, the room was pitch black, so there was no additional light source (even covered up the window) that might pollute the scan. In the "Lights on" model, I did not use the light bar, just the ceiling lights that were available in the basement. Thanks for the question. Scott

Usually resolved with an honest and frank conversation with my client and a return trip rescheduled. Sometimes they want/need to proceed as-is. Use these opportunities to build and strengthen the relationship with your clients, they value our experience and expertise, this is one of those times to make it shine.

5 yearsDanSmigrod (22889): @falconshakka I recall capturing for 12 hours on one charge, so I never bought the inverter car charger cable for the Matterport camera. Matterport Car Charger Inverter Cable (USA) http://support.matterport.com/support/solutions/articles/1000090717-additional-matterport-camera-chargers-and-charging-in-a-car Because the iPad will not go 12 hours on one charge, I always charge the iPad Air via a battery in my pocket. iPad batteries...

5 yearsjessetutt (67): Hi David. It sure is. As mentioned there is a lot of cleanup needed, but it is possible. The challenge is that there is ~$500.00 CAD of work (the newest MP update that fills the holes likely will reduce this) to thicken the walls, strip the furniture that won't print (E.g. 4 x chair legs can't support the weight of the plastic of the top of the chair). Printing via sculpteo or Shapeways is ~$75.00 CAD. Tour:...

5 yearsCarlosFHdz (604): Yes, trimming is done while scanning, on the iPad. You can trim once the scan is completed too, from the iPad. Here's a video MP published on how to Scan a space. LINK You can add tags or name to a room using the workshop view function; however, measurements and tags are only viewable using the work shop view.

A New Scan Question

6 yearsGarySnyder (1822): Just got back from a job but I'm still using the old app until Matterport give the all clear. Rpetersn, welcome on board. Once I know that the new app is working without a hitch then I'll try as Charlie and you suggest not marking the windows or just trimming them to see how they look.
