Matterport brings 3D capture to iPhone
Matterport released Matterport for iPhone, a way to create, to edit, and to share high-fidelity 3D digital twins of any physical space. With the Matterport Capture app, iPhone owners capture a 3D environment; personalize it with embedded notes, links, labels or videos; and share it with a click. Visitors can explore the spaces in immersive 3D and digitally measure the space. iPads are also supported by the Matterport Capture app, available today in the Apple App Store.
“With billions of square feet captured in more than 80 countries, Matterport has created the standard for 3D capture to digitize the built world. Today marks our first step to empower billions of smartphone users to try Matterport for themselves,” says RJ Pittman, CEO of Matterport, stated. “Matterport for iPhone introduces the world to our advanced spatial data capture and Cortex AI technologies in an easy-to-use app that enables anyone to capture and share 3D spaces with friends, family or colleagues.”
The Matterport Capture app can be used for the following:
- Real estate agents can scan property to create and to publish an accurate 3D digital twin of a property listing
- Homeowners can share a digital twin of their kitchen to get a quote for a remodel or scan damage to send to their insurance company.
- iPhone users can freely share their digital twins with friends and colleagues.
- Interior designers can capture space and take it with them to make sure furnishings fit.
- Contractors can efficiently document stages of progression during the construction or renovation process.
- Property owners can create an immersive virtual tour of their spaces to improve their booking rate on rental sites.
- And anyone can capture and share places that are important to them — whether it’s a special room in their home, a favorite spot they frequent, or an incredible space they experienced on vacation.
“We have been hard at work advancing the capability of the Matterport platform to support 3D capture from a range of new digital capture devices over the past two years,” said Japjit Tulsi, CTO of Matterport. “Matterport for iPhone marks an important milestone in our capability to create stunning 3D digital twins of any space using the phone in your pocket.”
Matterport for iPhone is powered by Cortex, the company’s AI platform and deep-learning neural network. Cortex generates photo galleries and shareable videos from within the digital twin, along with measurements and dimensions of entire spaces; and automatic face blurring for privacy.
