Spatial data capture company Matterport has launched interactive 3D measurements.
Matterport’s Measurement Mode will be available within the company’s web-based platform for exploring 3D spaces. The new functionality will give users with the ability to share measurements taken in a Matterport digital twin with anyone.
The company is taking Measurement Mode further in 2020, eliminating the need for customers to take manual measurements. Cortex, Matterport’s AI, will automatically identify and measure landmark features such as doorways, windows and ceiling heights, saving customers a significant amount of time.
RJ Pittman, CEO at Matterport, said: “Measurement Mode is an important step in our strategy to turn buildings into data and actionable insights. This new capability gives customers an invaluable tool for sharing vital information of spaces or objects within a Matterport digital twin. The potential for smarter space planning, utilisation and collaboration for the built world is enormous.”
Andrew Knight, international data standards director at the RICS, said: “Technologies such as Matterport are becoming increasingly important in providing transparency and reliable data for the built environment. Data and technology are having a profound impact within the real estate world, as tech and industry professionals work in balance to ensure that as an industry we are working in the public interest. The ability for technology to accurately measure, provide accurate information, and be used in a simple way has been game changing for a number of professions operating across the built environment. We look forward to seeing how much further the marriage of technology and people can go and how it can provide the right tools to enhance practices such as measurement.”
