Modern 3D tour and virtual reality technologies are opening up new opportunities for businesses, and 360° Space has been successfully bringing them to market for several years. Matterport cameras are a key tool for creating professional 3D tours. In this article, we compare two main camera models, the Matterport Pro3 and Matterport Pro2, to help you make an informed decision when requesting a 3D tour for your business.
An introduction to Matterport cameras
Matterport cameras are designed to create high-quality 3D models of real-world spaces. This is particularly useful for businesses in property, hospitality, retail and other sectors where visualising a space matters. These cameras use laser scanning technology to create accurate 3D models that allow users to take virtual walkthroughs of a space.
Matterport Pro2 specifications
The Matterport Pro2 is an earlier camera model with a proven track record in creating 3D tours. It is equipped with a laser scanner capable of producing highly detailed 3D models with an accuracy of 1-2 cm. The Matterport Pro2 can scan properties of up to 10 000 square metres, making it suitable for most commercial and residential properties.
Matterport Pro3 specifications
The Matterport Pro3 is a new, improved model offering even higher scan quality and expanded capabilities. Compared with the Pro2, the Pro3 scans faster, significantly reducing the time needed to create a 3D model. The Matterport Pro3 also features a new lighting system that improves scan quality in low-light conditions.
Comparing the Matterport Pro3 and Pro2
When choosing between the Matterport Pro3 and Pro2, consider factors such as the size of the property, the scan quality required and your project budget. The Matterport Pro3 offers higher quality and faster scanning, which may make it more suitable for large or complex properties. The Matterport Pro2 remains a good choice for smaller projects or tighter budgets.
Here are some key differences in figures:
- Scanning speed: the Matterport Pro3 is up to 10 times faster than the Pro2.
- Scan resolution: the Matterport Pro3 offers higher resolution, producing a more detailed 3D model.
- Scanning coverage: both models can scan properties of up to 10 000 square metres, but the Pro3 can handle more complex spaces.
Conclusion and recommendations
The choice between the Matterport Pro3 and Pro2 depends on your project's specific needs. If you want high scan quality and fast scanning, and are ready to invest in the best option, the Matterport Pro3 is the better choice. For smaller projects, or when budget is the main consideration, the Matterport Pro2 remains a good option.
