    -- Are you thinking about adding STAGES by SIMLAB to your Matterport digital twins?-- Do you have a client in the AEC space that uses Matterport that wants to add STAGES?-- Would you like a deep-dive onboarding demo of Matterport + STAGES by SIMLAB?Stay tuned!On WGAN-TV Live at 5 (special time: 11 am ET and 5 pm in Poland) on Wednesday, 18 September 2024 my guest will be SIMLAB STAGES Product Owner Robert Czarlewski.TopicWGAN-TV | How to Get Started with SIMLAB STAGES: a Deep-Dive Onboarding Training DemoHighlightsWe will assume that you are already a pro with Matterport and that you have watched previous WGAN-TV Live at 5 shows about SIMLAB STAGES (www.WGAN.info/SIMLABonWGAN).Robert will show us examples of Matterport digital twin powered by SIMLAB STAGES and then show us the backend of how these SIMLAB STAGES features are added to a Matterport digital twin.Robert will show us 7 Basic Features of SIMLAB STAGES:✓ Feature 1: Creating an Organization"The first step when using Stages is to create an organization. The organization serves as your workspace, where all your projects are stored, and licenses are tied to the organization. Therefore, it’s a crucial part of the environment setup."✓ Feature 2: Creating a Project"After setting up the organization, the next step is creating a project. Each project can include various components, such as scans, notes, and other materials. I’ll show you how to create a new project step by step."✓ Feature 3: Adding Components (Matterport Scans) to a Project"Once the project is created, the next step is adding components, such as scans. This is a fundamental part of building a project in Stages, so it’s essential to know how to do it correctly."✓ Feature 4: Matterport Scan Synchronization"Scan synchronization is a critical process. In this step, it’s important to define the synchronization points in locations that are as far apart as possible and, if possible, at different heights. The first scan should be manually marked as synchronized, creating what we call a 'reference scan.' You can verify the synchronization quality using the split screen tool, and if necessary, remove and repeat the synchronization."✓ Feature 5: Adding Notes"You can add notes to each project, which allows for better documentation and team collaboration. Now, I’ll show you how to do that."✓ Feature 6: Attaching Materials to Notes"You can enhance your notes by attaching additional materials, such as images or files. This is a very useful feature that provides more information in your notes."✓ Feature 7: Sharing Projects"Lastly, we’ll cover how to share projects. You can invite other users to collaborate, assign them roles, and manage access. I’ll show you how to send invitations and manage roles within the project."Robert will also show additional features and tips and tricks:✓ Feature 8: Generating Reports"In Stages, you can generate detailed reports from each project. It’s a quick and easy way to present the results of your work."✓ Feature 9: Generating Public Links"If you need to share a project with external stakeholders, you can generate a public link. This is especially useful when you need to quickly share your project."✓ Feature 10: System Preferences"Lastly, I’ll show you how to customize the system preferences. You can change the appearance of the timeline, switch between light and dark themes, adjust the units of measurement, and modify the date format."

  • Matterport's Latest ESG Report Sets New Targets for Reducing Carbon Emissions and Moving to Renewable PackagingAnnual report highlights the company's continued success in helping customers reduce emissions with digital twinsSUNNYVALE, California, Tuesday, August 6, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Matterport, Inc. (Nasdaq: MTTR) has released its third Environmental, Social, and Governance Report which, for the first time, sets ambitious targets for the company’s top ESG priorities, including reducing emissions and fostering gender equality in the workplace.In addition to these new commitments, the new report also showcases the company’s success helping its more than one million subscribers reduce their own carbon emissions by using Matterport’s digital twins to reduce travel to the more than 12 million spaces across 178 countries that have been digitized on the Matterport digital twin platform.With respect to Matterport’s own goals, the new ESG report establishes the company’s commitment to:1. Reaching net-zero emissions by 2050;2. Transitioning to recyclable / renewable packaging for all Pro3 cameras by 20253. Reducing Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 20 percent by 2030;4. Achieving gender parity among all full-time employees by 2030.“These targets reflect our ongoing commitment to reduce our environmental impact, drive systemic change and make the world a better place for future generations,” said Matterport Chairman and CEO RJ Pittman. “With our innovative digital twin platform and products, we empower people across the world to work in smarter ways that put less strain on the planet,” Pittman added. “We are committed to leading by example. This report illustrates how our strategy translates ESG commitments into action and ensures we hold ourselves accountable for achieving even greater impact."Based on 2023 data, the new report highlights how Matterport’s digital twins continue to cut customers’ carbon footprints by minimizing or eliminating travel to real estate open houses, construction sites, retail locations, and manufacturing facilities. Since tracking began in 2022, each Matterport digital twin creator avoids an estimated average of 0.55 tCO2e (tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent) per year. On a life-cycle basis, each digital twin can prevent roughly 0.15 tCO2e emissions, equivalent to driving a personal car for about 451 miles.Matterport recently partnered with an outside carbon accounting firm to develop and launch avoided emissions reporting, which provides select enterprise-level customers with detailed insights into carbon emissions savings enabled by the use of Matterport’s platform. These reports are uniquely tailored to each customer and their facilities, quantifying emissions avoided by opting for virtual experiences and digital assessments over onsite tasks like property tours, inspections, progress monitoring, and change management. They consider factors such as the number of digital spaces created, geographic location, and the reduction in total on-site visits.These groundbreaking carbon emissions avoidance reports, powered by our digital twin platform, will be more widely available to customers in 2025 as we scale up the service.

  • Planitar Inc. and FBS Partner to Streamline MLS Listings, Automatically Loading Property Data from iGUIDE 3D Virtual Tours and Floor PlansIntegration will enable agents to automatically populate listings on Flexmls Platform with rich media and detailed property information from iGUIDE, enhancing the accuracy and quality of MLS data.WATERLOO, Ontario, & FARGO, N.D.--Tuesday, July 23, 2024 (BUSINESS WIRE)--Planitar Inc., makers of iGUIDE, a proprietary camera and software platform for capturing and delivering 3D virtual tours and property data, and FBS, the leading innovator of Multiple Listing Service (MLS) technology and creator of the Flexmls Platform, today announced a strategic partnership and platform integration. The Flexmls Platform empowers real estate professionals from 150+ MLSs with comprehensive access to property listings, market data, and business management tools, providing flexibility and autonomy in managing their operations. This integration will connect iGUIDE’s technology to the Flexmls Platform enabling Flexmls users to seamlessly upload iGUIDE property data, including room dimensions (length and width) and labels, directly into the Flexmls platform with a single click.Previously, users manually transferred this data, making for a significantly more time consuming and error prone process. In addition to room dimensions and labels, agents will soon be able to upload rich property data including branded and unbranded iGUIDE virtual tours, precise floor plans, photos, and videos, enhancing their productivity and simplifying the listing entry workflow.iGUIDE is renowned for its precise schematic floor plans, meeting rigorous standards such as ANSI Z765-2021 and RECA RMS with an uncertainty of 1% or less in property square footage, well within the industry's 2% maximum allowable error. At the heart of iGUIDE's accuracy lies the quick-capture PLANIX Camera System, which employs a time-of-flight 2D lidar system to capture thousands of measurements with each scan.Accurate property dimensions, floor plans, and 3D virtual tours benefit not only the listing agent and seller but also potential buyers, enabling them to understand property layout and make informed decisions remotely. This streamlines the buying process and enhances overall market transparency.“FBS is the first MLS software vendor to implement the RESO Common Format (RCF) standard for auto-populating property data into the listing form. Planitar has collaborated with RESO for several years and contributed to the development of this standard, which automates the entry of various data types already available in machine-readable format. iGUIDE data is RESO-certified as RCF standard compliant and ready for integration with any MLS software that supports it,” explains Alexander Likholyot, CEO and co-founder of Planitar Inc. “This listing form autofill not only saves agents time and effort, but also greatly improves the quality of MLS data by eliminating manual transcription errors for property measurements. In addition to text and measurement data, the RCF standard supports auto-populating listing media, eliminating the need for agents to manually download and upload their images or video. This process occurs seamlessly behind the scenes, enabling agents to simply review their listing.”FBS has a long and proven track record of purposeful technology innovation and partnerships, including this partnership with iGUIDE, that simplify the user experience, ensuring the MLS remains the premier source of data and enriches the consumer experience.Michael Wurzer, FBS President and CEO: “We’re continually looking to enhance the MLS customer experience for the 330,000+ real estate professionals across the US that we represent at FBS, and this partnership does that. iGUIDE’s expertise in floor plan analysis, measurement, and immersive 3D virtual tours enriches Flexmls, setting new standards for the listing process and property data sharing. This integration offers the licensing framework necessary for incorporating rich content into our customers' MLS compilations, empowering them to uphold their status as the leading source of real estate data and media in their respective markets. Finally, it supports our mission to aggregate high-quality data and media, benefiting real estate practitioners and consumers.”Featuring customizable branding, integration of neighborhood information, and built-in lead generation connecting potential buyers directly with listing agents, iGUIDE continues to provide agents with a comprehensive marketing tool.For more information about iGUIDE, visit: www.GOiGUIDE.comAbout PlanitarFounded in 2013 in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada, Planitar Inc. is the maker of iGUIDE, a proprietary camera and software platform for capturing and delivering immersive 3D virtual tours and extensive property data. iGUIDE is the most efficient system to map interior spaces and features accurate floor plans, measurements and reliable property square footage.

  • Six Reasons Why Matterport Will Launch Project Genesis Monday (3 June 2024)Commentary and analysis byDan SmigrodFounder and Managing EditorWe Get Around Network Forum and WGAN-TV PodcastHi All,Matterport will likely announce on Monday, 3 June 2024 that Project Genesis is now commercially available to all.If that's true, what I wrote about a year ago (and reprinted below for your convenience), becomes relevant and timely:✓ Matterport Genesis Generative AI Magic: Will it Make Competitors Irrelevant?"Project Genesis" was first announced 14 June 2023 that it was in development, would include these super-powerful features:✓ decluttering of Matterport digital twins (residential and commercial spaces)✓ remove objects✓ virtual staging of Matterport spaces using AI (easy prompts) (resident and commercial spaces)✓ space planning of commercial spaces "How many people can fit in an open floor plan design?"(Project Genesis likely contributed to CoStar's plans to acquire Matterport by the end of 2024).Matterport CEO RJ Pittman in this video released on 14 February 2024 said:And when it comes to remodeling, we are especially excited to talk about the future. Matterport has become synonymous with digitizing and documenting physical spaces exactly as they exist today. But later in 2024, Matterport will enable you to reimagine what any space could become.We call it Project Genesis, and it incorporates Matterport's decade of machine learning and AI experience with breakthrough generative AI to bring new design and furnishing ideas to life at the click of a button.First, just imagine being able to instantly defurnish an existing space to see it as a blank canvas with all the dimensions and spatial data in place, a photorealistic 3D as-built digital twin. Or maybe you'd like to be more selective and remove unwanted objects individually, perhaps to clear out the clutter.Ultimately, spatial visualization is Matterport's greatest strength, which is why we're so focused on creating breakthrough tools to let you visualize your space with different interior design styles and furnishings automatically in true 3D.With our 2024 Winter Release, we're thrilled to unveil the next generation of digital twins, packed with fresh insights, automations, integrations and plugins, with more on the way in our next release coming in the second half of the year [2024].Here are the six (6) "tea leaves" that I am reading to make this prediction:1. Shopping Cart: Matterport is updating its shopping cart now (noon- 3 pm ET) today (Sunday, 2 June 2024). Many major announcements by Matterport have been preceded by "Scheduled Maintenance)2. Quarterly Release Cycle: Matterport signaled that it wanted to be on a quarterly release cycle, when it announced its Winter 2024 Release on 15 February 2024. Four months from then will be June 15, 2024: just 12 days from today. (Matterport in this 15 February 2024 video says "first in a series" ... "New features coming to market" ... "more in our next release coming in the second half of 2024."3. No Matterport News Since 15 May 2024: Matterport tends to issue a media release weekly (whether it truly has news or rehashes in a media release something that was previously announced (in YouTube videos, blog post, case study, etc.) Almost every time that Matterport has announced something big, there have been no other media releases in the previous two weeks. I could imagine that Matterport has its marketing communications team focused on the news announcement for at least two weeks leading up to major announcements.4. Matterport Blog Post Cadence Slowed: In recent weeks, Matterport blog posts have almost been weekly. The last Matterport Blog post featuring news was on 24 May 2024. Almost every time that Matterport has announced something big, there was no Matterport blog post in the preceding week. Again, I could imagine that Matterport has its marketing communications team focused on creating a blog post for the big news.5.
