No you have to turn it on and agree to the terms before you risk using it

We just tell People to Remove any personal
Pictures rather than relying on face blurring

See below email from Matterport
You are receiving this communication as a customer who has currently enabled face blurring in your Matterport space(s). We’re always on the lookout to improve our products and have decided to re-evaluate our approach to face blurring technology due to a recent instance where the technology failed to perform to our standards. While we are working on a longer term improvement, we have decided to take immediate action by changing how face blurring functionality is presented in the Matterport Capture App.

Starting Tuesday, July 21st, we will remove the face blurring feature from the Capture App to ensure that it is only used as an opt-in by customers aware of its capabilities and limitations. In order to add it back, you will need to go to your Matterport Cloud account settings under Manage > Product Settings and enable Automatic Face Blurring. After this step, the face blurring feature will be added back in the Capture App. Please note that you will only need to change this setting once in your product settings, and it will remain toggled for all future scans (see below screenshot for reference).

It sounds like this is going to be the same mediocre face blurring in effect today. I will opt to leave it off as it is mediocre at best as to what it does or does not blur.

Hi All,

Seems like Matterport should study the Cupix implementation of face blur in Workshop (post production) rather than in Capture. Cupix gives you complete control over blurring (size and location).

Here is a WGAN Forum discussion on this topic from two years ago:

Matterport Face Blurring (Beta) versus CUPIX Blurring: Which do you prefer?

From this discussion:

If I was Matterport product development, I would look at how CUPIX implemented this feature and do the same. I'm not sure even how collectively, we could make the CUPIX implementation better.

If we can have Mattertags I don't see why we can't have "blur tags". It seems to me that there should be an option from each scan point to add a blur spot that could be re-sized large or small. Even if it's only fixed to that one scan point and I have to re-do the work from every scan point that can see the space, that would be a workable solution for me.
