Cameras

Are you wondering how to:✓ How many days did it take to create a Matterport digital twin of the 400,000 SQ FT Kobe Convention Center?✓ What was the pricing strategy for such a super-large space?✓ In addition to Matterport, what other platforms, cameras and software were used for the Kobe Convention Center?Stay tuned!On WGAN-TV Live at 5 at 5 pm ET on Wednesday, 18 December 2024, our guest is:✓ Meidansha Inc. President Daniel BrownOur topic is:✓ How to Create a Matterport Digital Twin of a 400,000 SQ FT Convention CenterDaniel will guide us through the complexities of documenting the Kobe Convention Center — a project that involved four large buildings, requiring unique problem-solving, multiple technologies, and strategic planning. He’ll demonstrate a deeper dive into the tour (than our previous WGAN-TV Live at 5 show), and share insights on the challenges and solutions involved in creating such a large-scale digital twin.Kobe Convention Center Tours by Meidansha Inc.

Project Origin: How did this project come about?✓ How did you connect with the tourism board for this project?✓ Did they approach you or did you reach out to them?✓ How did you first understand the scale and scope of the project?2. Quoting and Pricing: How did you approach pricing for such a large project?✓ What was your pricing strategy for a project of this scale?✓ Did you charge a fixed fee, bill by the day, charge by the SQ FT?✓ How did you estimate the number of days or resources required for the project?3. Understanding the Client's Needs: What were the use cases for the digital twin?✓ How did the tourism board plan to use the digital twin of the Kobe Convention Center?✓ Was the goal primarily marketing, or were there operational uses as well?✓ Were there specific features they wanted to highlight in the tour?4. Tools and Technology: What software and hardware were used to create the digital twin?✓ Which cameras did you use? (e.g., Matterport Pro2, Leica BLK360, DSLR, 360 camera)✓ What software platforms did you use?✓ How did you decide which tools were best for the project’s requirements?5. Problem Solving: What challenges did you encounter with such a large space?✓ What were the unique challenges with scanning a 400,000 square foot space?✓ How did you manage large open spaces that may not have many visual reference points?✓ Were there any lighting challenges in different parts of the convention center?✓ How did you overcome GPS or connectivity issues while scanning?6. Workflow and Execution: How did you organize the workflow for this large-scale project?✓ How many scanning days did this project require?✓ How did you ensure continuity when scanning different sections of the building over time?✓ What was your approach for balancing speed and quality in such a large project?7. Managing Multiple Technologies: How did you integrate various tools and platforms?✓ How did you manage the use of multiple platforms (Matterport, 3DVista, MPEmbed, Google Earth)?✓ Did you use different tools for different sections of the building?✓ How did you maintain consistency between different types of media (3D scans, photos, 360 panoramas)?8. Deliverables: What was delivered to the client and in what format?✓ What were the final deliverables for the project?✓ How did you package the tour for easy use by the client?✓ Did you provide training or support on how to use and share the digital twin?9. Client Feedback and Results: What was the client’s response to the final product?✓ How did the client react to the completed tour?✓ Were there any follow-up requests or additional features they wanted?✓ How has the tourism board been using the digital twin since its delivery?10. Lessons Learned: What would you do differently if you could start the project again?✓ Were there any surprises during the project that you didn’t anticipate?✓ Looking back, is there anything you would change about how you approached the project?✓ What advice would you give to someone taking on a project of this scale for the first time?Why This Matters for Real Estate PhotographersFor real estate photographers used to documenting homes of 3,500 square feet, tackling a 400,000 square foot project introduces entirely new challenges and complexities. From dealing with large open spaces to managing multiple technologies, Daniel’s experience can offer invaluable lessons for anyone looking to expand their business into larger commercial projects.

WGAN-TV on Location at Geo Week 2024 | Pitch the Press EventMosaic Co-Founder Jeffrey Martin at Geo Week 2024 Shows Mobile Mapping CameraTranscript- How's it going? My name's Jeffrey Martin. I'm the Co-Founder and CEO of Mosaic.We are a mobile-mapping camera company.Our general thesis is that as computing improves and various algorithms improve, it becomes less and less important to use high-end LiDAR, which is extremely expensive, cumbersome, and hard to use. Companies such as Trimble, Hexagon, and others are stuck in an innovator's dilemma.And we are coming after you because we don't need these extremely expensive lasers anymore.You can achieve even better results in a fraction of the time of data collection using photogrammetry. And in many cases, you can get even more detailed 3D model using photogrammetry. So while we do use LiDAR as well, we take a camera-first point of view.So both with the devices that go on the cars as well as the device on my back, we have extremely high-resolution cameras with very high image quality with a very high level of synchronization and a very good calibration of the optical properties of the cameras that allow users to derive measurements and create 3D models, point clouds, and textured meshes with ease.

In this episode of WGAN-TV, recorded on location at Geo Week 2024 in Denver, WGAN-TV Managing Editor and Host Dan Smigrod talks with Cupix Vice President of Product Marketing Chuck Pfeffer. Chuck talks about the Cupix 3D technology platforms, CupixWorks and CupixVista, exploring their applications in construction management, project monitoring, and beyond.Key Points DiscussedCupixWorks: A cloud-based collaborative platform designed primarily for construction management.

This platform supports frequent data capture, integrates various data types (including laser scans and drone data), and facilitates clash detection and issue management through BIM coordination.CupixVista: A forthcoming pay-per-scan solution that simplifies the process of converting 360-degree camera footage into 3D point clouds and textured meshes. This tool is geared towards DIY scanning for a variety of applications, from surveying to facility management, offering a cost-effective alternative to traditional laser scanning methods.Technology and Cameras: Discussion on the use of advanced photogrammetry, SLAM algorithms, and AI to create detailed point clouds and textured meshes from 360 video. Cupix primarily utilizes cameras like the Ricoh THETA X and Insta360 models, emphasizing their affordability and accessibility for users.Market Applications: Insights into the "sweet spots" for Cupix's technology, including construction project management, facility renovations, and documentation for insurance purposes. The versatility of Cupix's platforms opens up opportunities for real estate photographers, service providers, and AEC professionals to enhance their workflows and decision-making processes.Future Directions: Chuck shares his vision for the future of data collection and analysis, emphasizing the ease and accuracy of Cupix's solutions. The conversation also touches on the potential expansion into crime scene documentation and insurance claim support, showcasing the wide-ranging applications of 3D technology.ConclusionChuck Pfeffer's insights offer a glimpse into the innovative world of 3D technology and its transformative impact on construction management, documentation, and a host of other industries. With Cupix's user-friendly platforms, professionals across various fields can harness the power of 3D data to streamline their operations, enhance accuracy, and drive decision-making.Thank You to Our GuestA special thank you to Chuck Pfeffer for joining us at Geo Week 2024 and sharing the exciting developments at Cupix.
