How do you feel about Matterport licensing "your" data?

Hi All,

The WGAN Forum Question of the Day for Thursday, 1 July 2021:

How do you feel about Matterport licensing "your" data?

==>Matterport/Facebook AI Research Collaborate>3D Spaces for Academic Research

(While the license described here is free for academic research, I could imagine that this media release is an advertisement for commercial companies to pay for a license to "your" data.)

Seems like:

=> Should be an option for Matterport data "owners" to opt-in (and the very least, opt-out)
=> Some amount of compensation for the use of "our" data

How would your clients feel if "their" space was used in unexpected ways?

Your thoughts?

Best,

Dan

It makes me want to leave their platform! They have so much going for them yet they constantly make poor decisions. It's like a love hate relationship.

Good question! Matterport used to be different in the good old days, when most of us started.

Most of my clients do not know and I am happy with that. And I am also happy, that Matterport is not actively publishing the tours.

Waiting for a Theta Z2 camera with iGuide.

I believe I received an email that was about opting in for this? It was specific about one of my models being used for the AI research. As it was only one model and they asked I was happy for them to have it. Has anyone else been sent the same email? Or have there been instances of models being used without permission granted?

That would be excellent news.

If possible, can you locate the email?

Thanks for sharing.

That's great. Matterport did ask your permission before using.

That said, it's unclear if this permission is also for just this one project or commercial use of licensing the data.

I have got two similar emails from them. In one the mention one of my 3D tours created for a local property builder and in the other they mention 16 tours. I have not gone through all 16 to check what they are but I have checked 3 out of 16 and it seems they are going to use property 3D tours.
