Study Notes

Creating a Matterport Tour

  • Matterport tours are a standard feature in most real estate packages
  • For this exercise, we're using the Insta360 X3 camera, which has a higher resolution than the X1 camera
  • A monopod (e.g., Digiant monopod) and a pole from the Insta360 are also required

Setting Up the Equipment

  • The camera should be set up at about 6 feet (eye level with someone around 5'10") to ensure consistent height throughout the tour
  • The camera should be level and securely attached to the monopod to prevent it from falling
  • Download the Matterport app onto an iPad and open it to start the tour

Shooting the Tour

  • Start at the door and follow a natural navigation through the home
  • Take a shot every 4-6 feet to ensure comprehensive coverage
  • Keep the camera in visual line of sight from its previous position to ensure a seamless tour
  • If shooting a corner, take shots from multiple angles to capture the entire area
  • Close the door and connect the camera to Matterport, then click "New Job" and "Scan"
  • When the scan is complete, move the camera to the next location and repeat the process

Tips and Best Practices

  • Learn to be fast and efficient with the process to maximize profitability
  • Shoot in the gap between walls to ensure a smooth transition between areas
  • Move the camera quickly after each scan to prevent the iPad from becoming overwhelmed
  • Avoid moving more than 9 feet from the previous position to maintain alignment
  • Mark all windows and mirrors in the app to reduce reflection and improve the tour
  • Ensure the direction of mirrors is correct in the app
  • Double-check all markings to ensure accuracy

Uploading the Tour

  • Upload the completed tour to Matterport (requires internet connection)
  • The entire process should take around an hour for a 16,700 sq. ft. home
  • This exercise has demonstrated how to create a comprehensive and efficient Matterport tour.
