Hi All,Imagine shooting the same multi-million mansion with:✓ Matterport 3D Tour✓ GeoCV 3D Tour (including 3D aerial)✓ Nodalview (360º Tour)✓ Zillow 3D Home (360º Tour)✓ Cupix 3D TourGreater Los Angeles Matterport Service Provider Home3D.us (@Home3D) Kevin Dole imagined that.

What else would you like to share about your experience shooting/publishing with five platforms?Kevin will be starting new topics in the WGAN Forum around many of these questions. I could imagine that each topic will be a single subject such as:1. each camera/platform2. comparing learning curve3. comparing shooting experience4. comparing post production experience5. comparing 3D/360º Tours6. overall conclusions and recommendationsThis is an amazing labor of love for Kevin to shoot and publish with five different platforms.

Hi All,At Inman Connect NY 2019, I spoke with NRT (Coldwell Banker®) President/CEO Ryan Gorman on Virtual Tours. "Virtual Tours are terrific," says Ryan. Virtual Tours enable the get there before you go experience so that potential buyers do not need to spend as much time in the home since they have already experienced the home virtually. Agents can use Virtual Tours to differentiate themselves to get more business."Agents being able to demonstrate their value quite clearly to their consumer base helps them differentiate themselves and to ultimately generate more value and generate more customers. So, this could be - the 3D as well as individual technologies - could be one of those things that agents use ... to grow their business," says Ryan.You may want to share this brief WGAN-TV interview with your potential Coldwell Banker clients (and ask for the order).The more that Coldwell Banker uses Matterport, the more likely that their competitors will (have) to.What has been your experience with Coldwell Banker + Matterport?Best,DanAbout Ryan Gorman"Ryan Gorman was named President and Chief Executive Officer of NRT in 2018. In this capacity, he is responsible for the day-to-day operations of NRT’s company-owned brokerage operations doing business under the Coldwell Banker® brand.""Gorman most recently served as Chief Strategy and Operating Officer of NRT and as its Senior Vice President, Strategic Operations where he brought a heightened focus on service delivery, defined a comprehensive integrated growth strategy and leveraged the resources of NRT and Realogy to drive a superior experience for affiliated agents, employees and customers."Source: NRT (A Realogy Company)

Hi All,At Inman Connect NY 2019, I spoke with RE/MAX CEO Adam Contos. Adam told me he recommends RE/MAX agents and brokers use Matterport 3D Tours."Matterport is a great technology.

Using 3D Virtual Tours is a great way to engage with the ... customer; a great way to set you apart from those that are not." You may want to share this brief WGAN-TV interview with your potential RE/MAX client (and ask for the order).The more that RE/MAX uses Matterport, the more likely that their competitors will (have) to.What has been your experience with RE/MAX + Matterport?Best,Dan

Help Property Managers and Developers get more money sooner (pre-leasing)
---
Hi All,One of the ways that Matterport may make its competition irrelevant is offer 3rd party integrations on Steroids.Soon, Matterport will launch 3D Virtual Staging powered by RoOomy (presently in private beta).Imagine that you shoot Matterport of just built multi-family apartment community without furniture in the various apartment types. Now imagine that these same Matterport 3D Tours are virtually staged: not one photo virtual staged, not one 360º virtual staged, but the Matterport 3D Tour virtual staged.When you look at a Matterport 3D Tour with this virtually staged experience by RoOomy, it feels like magic. It's that amazing.In my WGAN-TV interview with RoOomy Head of Business Development Taylor Wilding (above) at Inman Connect New York 2019, Taylor talks about the Matterport strategic alliance with Matterport - first announced 18 December 2017 – and how Matterport Service Providers can make money with RoOomy.com.For Matterport Service Providers, at least three ways to make money with Matterport 3D Tours virtually staged by RoOomy:✓ Matterport 3D Tour scanning✓ Add RoOomy Virtual Staging (make the spread between what you charge and the amount that you pay RoOomy✓ RoOomy will offer a Reseller Program for Matterport Service Providers.Best prospects, according to RoOomy are:✓ multi-family (just built: various apartment or home types)✓ single family home communities (just built: various home styles)✓ developers✓ property management companiesHow to Make Money✓ Showcase every floor plan with virtual staging✓ Property Managers can show properties where tenants have not yet moved out✓ Help Property Managers and Developers get more money sooner (pre-leasing)✓ Evergreen spaces work best (renters do not remodel spaces)"The collaboration between roOomy and Matterport is due to a growing demand by customers for virtual staging of 3D spaces across industries, in particular within multifamily. Property managers, for example, will be able to use virtual staging instead of physically staging model apartments, allowing renters to easily decide on flooring and furniture upgrades and customizations for multifamily units. Interior designers can more easily work with customers to design living spaces," according to the 18 December 2017 Matterport-RoOomy media release.Your thoughts?Best,DanP.S. I will reach out to RoOomy to see if we can get some examples to share in this discussion ... I had a chance to view examples at ICNY19 and they are amazing.

How to use the Cupix SLAM App to streamline capturing 360º photos paired with a 360º 1-click camera
 
Hi All,Creating a Cupix 3D Tour will get even easier and faster with the soon-to-be-released Cupix SLAM app (iOS) to streamline capturing 360º photo spheres paired with these 360º 1-click cameras:✓ Ricoh Theta V✓ Insta360 One X (Cupix SLAM App integration in January 2018)✓ Panono (Cupix SLAM App integration in January 2018)✓ Mi Sphere✓ MADV MadventureThe Cupix SLAM App is current in beta. Contact Cupix Support to request access.While it has always been easy to capture 360º photos with a 360º 1-click camera and upload the 360º photo spheres to Cupix, the Cupix SLAM app leverages the ARKit - the powerful iOS Augmented Reality library - to automatically tracks your camera route or path during 360º photo sphere capture.
