What is Matterport?
Matterport is a technology and cloud platform that transforms any physical space — from hotel lobbies to factory floors, showrooms to school campuses — into a true-to-scale, navigable 3D digital twin. Founded in 2011, Matterport is today the leading digital twin solution used in more than 170 countries worldwide.
The most advanced Matterport cameras scan the environment by stopping at multiple points throughout the space. This data is uploaded to the Matterport cloud and processed completely automatically: a 3D model, floor plan, 4K photos and an interactive virtual tour link are ready within minutes.
How Does Matterport Work?
The process consists of three stages:
- Scanning: The most advanced Matterport cameras are positioned at specific points throughout the space to capture 360° imagery and depth data covering every corner.
- Processing: Collected data is uploaded to the Matterport cloud. AI and photogrammetry algorithms merge all scan points into a seamless 3D model.
- Publishing: The model is instantly shareable via a link or embed code — on websites, social media or WhatsApp.
What Does Matterport Produce?
360° Virtual Tour
Navigate the space in first-person; full control via mouse or touch.
Dollhouse View
Inspect the space as a 3D isometric dollhouse from outside — rotate and zoom freely.
Floor Plan
A schematic bird's-eye floor plan is generated automatically with real dimensions.
4K Photos
4K print-quality panoramic and standard photos are captured during the scan.
OBJ / Point Cloud
OBJ and XYZ point cloud files exportable to CAD, BIM and architectural software.
Measurement Tool
Precisely measure the distance between any two points within the model.
Which Sectors Use Matterport?
Matterport technology creates value for every business, regardless of space size or industry. The most common use cases:
- Hospitality: Hotels, resorts and boutique properties — guests exploring rooms and common areas before booking directly increases conversion rates.
- Real Estate: For-sale and rental homes and offices — buyers experience the space fully without a physical visit.
- Industry & Manufacturing: Factories and warehouses — remote facility tours, equipment documentation and client/vendor presentations.
- Education: Universities and schools — campus presentations and remote student/parent orientation.
- Showroom & Gallery: 360° display of products and artworks; virtual trade show experience for international buyers.
- Events & Congress: Digital presentation of exhibition, congress and event venues; capacity planning for organizers.
Matterport vs Traditional 360° Virtual Tour
Traditional 360° tours consist of panoramic images shot from fixed points — you cannot truly "walk" inside, and no real 3D model is produced. Matterport, on the other hand, collects real depth data to create a full 3D spatial model: users can step in any direction, take measurements, and view the space as a 3D dollhouse from outside.
