1-WGAN-TV | Matterport 3D Tours for Vacation Cabin Rentals via 3DCabinTours

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

Matterport Syndication: a Blessing or a Curse?

WGAN Founder Dan Smigrod Discusses His Concerns for Matterport Syndication (Content Distribution)
 
Hi All,As I understand it - and correct me if I am wrong - Matterport presently syndicates "our" Matterport Spaces 3D Tours to:✓ Realtor.com (see press release 30 March 2017)✓ The New York Times Real Estate Section (see press release 3 April 2017) [NY area only]And, Matterport has announced that more syndication alliances are in the works.While on the face of it, this seems like a blessing for Matterport Service Providers ...✓ more views✓ happier clients (more opportunities to help client success)... I have the following concerns:✓ Matterport Service Providers do not share in the revenue stream when "our" Matterport Spaces are licensed to 3rd parties✓ Matterport has not asked us for our permission to use "our" Matterport Spaces✓ Not all We Get Around Atlanta residential clients want their Matterport Spaces distributed (e.g. pocket listings)✓ We would like to up-sell this distribution opportunityWhile we have stopped including the address in our models within Matterport to help stop this use of our content without our permission, I wonder if the Pro2 GPS is a trojan horse: meaning, even if I do not specify the address, Matterport knows where the property was scanned.I recommend that Matterport take the following steps:1. Give Pros the option to opt-in to syndication by: 1) All models 2) model-by-model 3) by folder2. Revenue share with Matterport Service Providers Pro CommunityOne of the reasons that Matterport will explode (in a good way), is syndication. I could imagine that we when scan a restaurant, for example, Matterport will syndicate - license - "our" content to 3rd party platforms that:✓ book restaurants ✓ book meeting spaces✓ book event spaces✓ book film/TV production locations✓ book group dining locationsAdd to syndication, derivative works such as:✓ VR✓ 2D schematic floor plans✓ video✓ GIF✓ SQ FT And, you get the idea.Plus, there are - and likely will be - 3rd party platforms that we would love to license "our" Matterport Spaces 3D Tours and derivative works. So, we pay Matterport for our Camera and hosting and they make money licensing "our" Matterport Spaces 3D Tours.Fair?I could imagine that the next syndication announcement will be with Google Street View. I  Google Street View. Enabling us to publish to Google Street View is amazing and exciting and increases the value of the Matterport Camera to us 10 fold, BUT I don't want "our" models published to Google Street View unless We Get Around gives permission.I  Matterport. Sometimes Matterport makes it hard to  ...If Matterport fails to enable Matterport Service Providers to opt-in/opt-out and share in revenue for the use of "our" Matterport Spaces - and derivative works - this will create an opportunity for other Camera/Platform companies in the 3D-VR-360º space to win-over the Pro Community. Their pitch? Revenue Share!What are your thoughts about Matterport syndication?Best,DanMatterBaby-in-ChiefP.S.

Are you looking for a Matterport alternative? How CUPIX Compares to Matterport
--
Hi All,Are you looking for a Matterport alternative? How does CUPIX compare to Matterport?CUPIX enables you to create 3D Tours with any 360º Camera and processing the images using computer vision technology to create a 3D walking experience like a Matterport 3D Tour.It's free while it is in Beta.On WGAN-TV Live at 5 (5 pm EST | GMT -5) today, Tuesday, 21 November 2017, CUPIX Director of Sales Scott Anderson will demo and discuss CUPIX for Newbies (and share some new features). Plus, I will ask Scott how CUPIX compares Matterport.I anticipate that Scott will use the 360º photos that I shot at a hotel on Friday with an Insta360 One Camera to show and tell how to create a tour with CUPIX.CUPIX will be targeting these markets:✓ Real Estate Marketing✓ Construction SitesThe CUPIX Marketing Video says:✓ 20x Cheaper to start [than using a 3D scanner [like Matterport]✓ 10x faster to captureFeatures include:✓ overlays (annotation such as measurements)✓ viewers of the model can make their own measurementsHow CUPIX Works (from the CUPIX website):Shoot 360º Photos – Take photos of the interior of a building with [any] off-the-shelf 360-degree camera. It only takes about 2~10 seconds at each location.Upload – Upload 360-degree photos to our cloud server, and then you are done capturing the scene. It sorts out camera locations and computes the 3D geometry.Customize – Finalize the 3D virtual tour to make it best serve your business using our Online Editor. You can custom brand the Web Player with your company logo.Share – Share the 3D virtual tour with collaborators and publish it to the world instantly. Allow viewers to measure actual dimensions in the Web Player.In addition to asking Scott – CUPIX versus Matterport – what else should I ask @scott_cupix ...?Best,DanP.S.
