Fields of Application

The versatility of the Matterport Pro3 makes it suitable for a variety of industries, including:

  • Architecture and Engineering: for creating detailed 3D models of buildings and infrastructure.

  • Real Estate: for creating immersive virtual tours of properties for sale or rent.

  • Construction: for progress monitoring and as-built documentation.

  • Insurance: for accurate damage assessment and claims management.

  • Cultural sector: for digitization and preservation of cultural and historical heritage.

Phases of the Work Process

  1. Planning: defining the area to be scanned and preparing the site.

  2. Placement: installation of the Pro3 on a stable tripod at the starting point.

  3. Capture: start scanning via the Matterport Capture app on compatible mobile devices; each scan takes less than 20 seconds.

  4. Displacement: relocation of the camera to new locations to cover the entire area, ensuring adequate overlap between scans for accurate alignment.

  5. Processing: uploading the data to the Matterport cloud, where it is processed to generate the digital twin.

  6. Visualization and sharing: access to the 3D model via the Matterport platform, with the ability to share it with stakeholders and customers.

Pros and Cons of the Matterport Pro3

Let us try to analyze below the merits and demerits of this versatile and professionally unique machine.

Matterport Pro3 pros:

  • High accuracy: LiDAR technology ensures accurate measurements, essential for professional applications.

  • Acquisition speed: rapid scans in less than 20 seconds reduce field operation time.

  • Versatility: suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, even in changing lighting conditions.

  • Ease of use: intuitive interface and integration with mobile devices simplify the scanning process.

Cons of the Matterport Pro3:

  • Cost: the initial investment for the purchase can be high; however, the quality and efficiency offered are so high that you cannot give up its use.
    That is why with Us, you can get the result you are looking for thanks to the accompaniment of one of our professionals who will perform the entire processing without You having to buy the tool or learn how to use it.

  • Size and weight: although portable, it still requires a tripod and some care in carrying; Obviously with modern instruments, you still haven’t managed to miniaturize everything, but even that you won’t have to worry about.

  • Battery dependence: although the range is high, additional batteries may be needed in extended projects; the ability to replace the battery allows for extended work sessions without interruption.
    For this reason, our Technician always has more than one battery with him, which allows for continuity of surveying by using the batteries cyclically. In addition, the recharging of the batteries is really fast, so the problem is really small.
