Hi All,I had a chance to preview a new CUPIX solution for the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) space this week.In one word, I describe it as "Magical" ... ✓ 3D Tour with integrated, interactive floor plan✓ Ability to compare 3D Tours in a split panel at two different points in time✓ Ability to compare 3D Tour vs Revit 3D BIM model in a split panel.Learn more on WGAN-TV Live at 5 (5 pm ET | GMT -4) on Thursday, 19 April 2018[/b]. with CUPIX Director of Sales Scott Anderson (@scott_cupix) - whom has appeared on WGAN-TV twice before (see above videos) - and CUPIX Head of Product Strategy Paul Collart (@pcollart) whom together will demo and discuss this unique new - "Magical" - CUPIX solution.This is a "must watch" WGAN-TV show for:1. Matterport Service Providers – seeking additional ways to leverage your expertise in 3D Tour capture2. Google Street View Pros – seeking additional ways to leverage your expertise in 3D Tour capture3. AEC Executives – seeking solutions to making money, saving money, time and improving workflow4. Anyone thinking about buying a Matterport Camera specifically for AEC opportunities"In order to showcase the new feature, we've collected 360 photos over 6 weeks at a construction site to create virtual tours which can be compared against each other and against the 3D BIM (Revit) model," said Scott in an email to me this week offering the preview.I could imagine that when CUPIX presents this solution at the 2018 SPAR3D Expo & Conference (June 5-7, 2018 in Anaheim, CA) that CUPIX will WOW the AEC audience (whom will immediately want to find 3D Tour photographersthat can deliver this solution).If you are in the AEC space - Join the Virtual Studio Audience – to join the discussion and ask Scott questions.Thanks for tuning in.Best,DanP.S.
