Hear about a Matterport Service Provider alternative to Airbnb, VRBO and other major players

@ArtisticConcept Writes
So, in my region, one of the biggest segments of the hospitality industry is Cabin Rentals. One of the biggest problems that I encounter when I scan a rental cabin is that despite having an amazing 3D Matterport Tour with social sharing urls and embed codes the property owner is often met with a cold shoulder from their listing site.While some of the key players in the hospitality industry are flirting with the idea of allowing Matterport into their ecosystem, many see how powerful 3D tours are in booking more stays and they are fearful of guests bypassing their system to book directly with the owner or another one of their agents.I’ve heard it said “If you can’t beat ‘em, Join ‘em” well, we’ve been trying to “Join ‘em” too long! I say, “If you can’t join ‘em, beat ‘em!”An idea hatched in my mind after my first cabin scan. The client went from occasionally being booked to being booked solid for three months when they promoted their cabin with our TriReality Matterport Tour solely through Facebook. That got me to thinking. What if there was a site that was known for having 3D Tours of Rental Cabins and people would know that that’s the place you go when you want to see your vacation spot in “Real Life” before you even book it?I’ve just launched my first Kickstarter campaign for 3DCabinTours.com

Thinking about buying Matterport? Here's the journey for a Matterport Newbie

Attached to your iPhone and shoot 360ºs - My initial thoughts

If you look at a GeoCV created 3D Tour, on first glance, you might think it is Matterport. It's a David versus Golith Story.

Hi All,If you look at a GeoCV created 3D Tour, on first glance, you might be thinking that you are looking at a Matterport Spaces 3D Tour:✓ Dollhouse View✓ Floor Plan View (with measurements)✓ Walk Around View✓ Photos✓ Floor PlansAnd, this tour was shot using an (extra smart) 3D-enabled smartphone.On WGAN-TV Live at 5 (5 pm EST GMT -5) on Wednesday, 17 January 2018, CEO and Co-Founder @AntonYakubenko, PhD will demo and discuss GeoCV; including Matterport Versus GeoCV.You can Join the Virtual Studio Audience to ask Anton questions directly.Anton is one of the speakers at Inman Connect NYC 2018 (22-26 January 2018). He is on a panel: Visual Revolution: Breakthroughs in Virtual Reality 3D and Video. [Matterport CEO Bill Brown is on the same panel.)I could imagine that Anton might give us a sneak peak of what he will announce at Inman Connect. So, why have you not heard about GeoCV? They have been focused on New York City while they have been refining their technology, value-proposition and marketing strategy. I could imagine that Inman Connect, Anton will announce that GeoCV is now available across the United States (and potentially, around the globe).Here are We Get Around Network Forum discussions tagged: GeoCVSome additional backstory from Anton's LinkedIn Profile:"GeoCV is a venture capital backed 3D capturing VR / AR company.

Hi All,Did you know that you can create awesome 360ºs with your smartphone with a rotator and wide-angle lens for under $100?On WGAN-TV Live at 5 this Thursday (19 July 2018), my guest is Dermandar (theVRkit) Founder Elie Gregoire Khoury (@egkhoury).In addition to a demo and a discussion, Elie will give us some (exciting) news.Even if you use a DSLR and a fish-eye lens to create 360ºs - you may not always be able to travel with your DSLR, fish-eye lens, tripod, etc. So, as the saying goes, the best camera is the camera that is always with you (and that would be your smartphone).Or, you may may be thinking about putting your toe in the 3D Tour water for less than a $100.Plus, you can use the 360ºs created with theVRkit with:✓ CUPIX 3D Tours (and also publish to Google Street View)✓ ThreeSixty Tours✓ Panoskin (to Google Street View)✓ iStagingI've know Elie for 5+ years. I look forward to visiting with him again and sharing theVRkit story.Thanks for joining the Virtual Studio Audience - or just tuning in.Best,DanP.S.

Hi All,
Most Matterport Pros charge by the SQ FT (or SQ Meter). How else might your charge for Matterport 3D Tours?
Plus, a restaurant (on-going) is way different that a house for sale. So, how might you charge differently?

Dan
