Giraffe360 empowers photographers to close that gap. ✓ New business model: Giraffe360 positions real estate photographers as strategic partners—like interior designers—not just vendors. ✓ End-to-end solution: With the Giraffe PRO Camera and Giraffe360 Content Studio, creators can capture stills, floor plans, 3D tours, and cinematic + drone-style videos—all from one scan, one visit. ✓ Gaussian Splatting for real estate: Ainars introduces breakthrough photorealistic 3D modeling using Gaussian Splatting, enabling “virtual drone” and cinematic videos generated post-scan—no drone pilot, lighting crew, or insurance required. ✓ Deep dive into Content Studio: Fully AI-powered editing workflow includes HDR photo processing, object removal, blur control, sky replacement, and camera removal—plus multi-language support and customizable presets. ✓ New video formats: Giraffe360 now supports cinematic walkthroughs and virtual drone-style fly-throughs generated automatically.

Key takeaways from the episode: ✓ Speed + Quality: the Fotello edits are agent-ready fast — making urgent listings possible in under 30 minutes. ✓ Customization Options: Post-edit controls inside Fotello allow fine-tuning like contrast, exposure, and image style presets (e.g., Airy, Natural, Deep). ✓ Human vs AI quirks: Bruno points out subtle issues like inconsistent wall color rendering (white versus peach) and missed cable removal — but he also notes that the Fotello revision request feature makes corrections easy. ✓ AI tools evolving fast: New features include adding realistic fireplace flames and screen images to blank TVs — previously requiring Photoshop. ✓ Cost efficiency: For high-volume shooters, Fotello can cut editing expenses by hundreds per month — and Fotello will price match your current editor. Bruno emphasizes that while he sometimes uses Photoshop for fine details (like removing cords or furniture imprints), Fotello saves time and delivers impressive results — especially for agents and photographers with tight deadlines.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedIn this WGAN-TV Podcast, guest host Tom Sparks, Founder and CEO of Scan Your Space (a Division of Sparks Media Group), field-tests the Giraffe360 GO Camera in a real-world warehouse environment — walking through the scanning process, testing still photos, and reviewing the final deliverables. Tom captures multiple scan points inside a large warehouse on Mare Island, California, using the Giraffe360 GO Camera. Scans take around 58 seconds each, and the camera’s SLAM-like behavior allows it to record measurement data while being carried — enabling floor plan generation with minimal scan points. Tom uploads the project to the cloud later that day and receives the completed 3D tour, floor plan, and still photo by the following morning. --- The Giraffe360 GO Camera is designed for real estate agents who want an easy-to-use, all-in-one camera for creating professional-looking property tours without needing extra devices. In contrast, the Giraffe PRO Camera is built with the advanced features and control that real estate photographers expect — making it ideal for high-volume professionals seeking refined results and maximum image quality. --- Tom's final verdict? The Giraffe360 GO delivers a fast, user-friendly workflow without needing a tablet or phone. He finds the 12MP still photo useable, the ANSI 765–compliant floor plan impressive, and the 3D tour polished. However, he suggests slower transitions and Ken Burns-style effects in the auto-generated video for better viewer experience.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedWGAN-TV: Matterport Pro3 Camera-Understanding the Three T-Mount Adapters Summary for Matterport Service Providers Using a Pro3 Camera In this episode of the WGAN-TV Podcast, Matterport Pro3 expert Mike Vorce of MatterFix.io breaks down the key differences among the three known versions of the Matterport Pro3 T-Mount tripod adapters. He identifies two official versions—both with stainless steel pins—with the latest version distinguished by a flat section near the clasp. These are considered safe for regular use. However, Mike issues a strong warning about a third, unofficial version featuring a brass pin and internal screw prone to failure. This version, believed to be a beta unit that escaped destruction and is now circulating via sites like eBay, can jam inside the camera and potentially damage the mount or camera internals. Mike also provides practical guidance on identifying T-Mount issues in the field, including what to do if your mount is stuck or you encounter an “unstable” error during scanning. He explains how to assess mount tension, alignment, and grab-arm function, and even offers a basic adjustment tutorial using a T15 Torx tool. Importantly, he emphasizes proper seating of the mount to avoid scan errors or hardware damage. If problems persist, Mike recommends swapping out the T-Mount or tripod to isolate the issue—or reaching out to MatterFix.io for expert repair. For techs using or buying secondhand gear, this video is a must-watch to avoid costly downtime caused by a defective tripod adapter. --- Transcript in the We Get Around Network Forum: www.WeGetAroundNetworkForum.com…

1 382. Matterport + SIMLAB STAGES + Procore for Construction Communication 7:50
7:50 Play Later Play Later Lists Like Liked7:50
Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedHi there, I am the digital twin of Dan Smigrod, Founder and Managing Editor of the We Get Around Network Forum and host of WGAN-TV Podcast. Procore plays a pivotal role in enhancing the functionality of Matterport digital twins -- integrated with SIMLAB STAGES -- by transforming construction coordination and communication with punch list items, for example, mapped exactly where they exist in a digital twin. Let's dive into one of the biggest challenges in construction management—coordination. Whether it's tracking issues or just keeping everyone on the same page, it's a lot. Now, imagine this: you've got your Procore data—Punch Items, RFIs, project documents — all embedded right in either a Matterport or a NavVis digital twin. That's exactly what SIMLAB STAGES does. Instead of jumping between platforms and scrolling through endless lists, you're seeing these issues in real time, within the actual space they affect. For instance, let's say there's a Punch Item tied to a specific room in a building. With SIMLAB STAGES, that item isn't just a line in a spreadsheet. It's mapped to its precise location, visually, in the Matterport (or NavVis) model. You click. You see instantly. You know what's going on without guessing or piecing it together manually. This kind of spatial understanding—it's huge. It takes something that could be abstract or buried in documents and makes it clear, tangible. And that's not all. Procore documents—images, reports, supporting files — are pulled straight into SIMLAB STAGES. No switching apps. No downloading or loading files. It's right there. This seamless integration doesn't just save time. It builds a much stronger connection between team members. When everyone's looking at the exact same data, at the same time, in the same context, decision-making becomes so much faster, and more reliable. There's less back and forth. Fewer errors. The whole workflow just clicks. And that's really the game-changer here. SIMLAB STAGES isn't just tacking on Procore. It's making it an intuitive, interactive part of the way you work. Now, let's talk about how this 3D digital twin visualization capability and real-time syncing actually redefine issue tracking. It's one thing to have a list of Punch Items or RFIs — great, a list—but it's another to see those listed items mapped exactly where they exist in a digital twin. That's what SIMLAB STAGES offers. It's issue tracking on Steroids. Think about this: instead of someone reading a description and guessing, "Okay, I think this issue is in the third-floor hallway, with SIMLAB STAGES, you're literally seeing it in a 3D space. The issue isn't hypothetical anymore. It's there — visually represented: down to its precise location. And that means less confusion, fewer follow-ups, and way more efficiency. What's even cooler? When you update something in SIMLAB STAGES—let's say you resolve an RFI or assign it: boom, it's automatically synced back into Procore. And it works the other way too. That's bi-directional syncing, and it's a game-changer. Everything stays aligned. No lag. No redundant updates. No manual cross-checking. The result? Real-time communication that pulls everyone — whether they're on-site or remote — onto the same page. Whether it's your subcontractors, your project managers, or your clients, everyone's collaborating off the same, up-to-the-minute info in the exact same context. It's real-time alignment at its best. And this visibility does more than just save time; it eliminates the missteps that happen when teams are stuck trying to interpret disconnected data. You can make decisions faster because, well, everything you need is right there in front of you — clearly. No communication gaps to slow things down. So, by embedding Procore's robust data into a Matterport or NavVis interactive 3D space, SIMLAB STAGES takes issue tracking from being reactive to being proactive — which is a seismic shift in how construction teams collaborate and deliver their projects. Now, let's dig into how centralizing project documentation in SIMLAB STAGES doesn't just make your life easier — it actually helps reduce errors in a big way. Here's the thing. When you've got everything — Punch Items, RFIs, documents — all mapped visually into a 3D environment, you're removing a ton of the guesswork. You're making sure everyone's on the same page, not just metaphorically but literally. It's there in front of them, tied to the exact location in the project to help avoid confusion. The impact of this? It's not theoretical. Construction teams can cut down rework by a massive percentage. Why? Because the documentation is accurate from the start. Punch Items are not sitting in some disconnected spreadsheet; they are right there in the Matterport digital twin or in a NavVis digital twin. So, there isn't a need for back-and-forth, trying to figure out, "Wait, which wall was this issue on, again?" By embedding this process into SIMLAB STAGES and syncing it with Procore, every move can be made with well-informed and spatially precise info. No double-checking, no fixing errors caused by miscommunication. You can just look, decide, and act—all in one sweep. That's powerful. And for today's construction teams, tools like SIMLAB STAGES are becoming less of a "nice-to-have" and more of a need. It's tackling inefficiencies that have been treated as just part of the business for far too long.

I mean, over thirty top speakers, covering everything from digital twins to AI-powered photogrammetry? It's kind of mind-blowing. Dan Smigrod Absolutely. This is, without a doubt, one of the most intensive conferences for professionals in our field. Digital twins, for example, are going far beyond architecture now. They're being used in urban planning, industrial plants, even entertainment. It's—it's fascinating how the technology keeps expanding its reach. Eric Marquette Right. And I love the phrase 'information tsunami' they used to describe the event. Like, think about that session on "A.I. and Photogrammetry." That intersection is where things are getting super innovative. Dan Smigrod A.I.'s application to photogrammetry, it’s really remarkable. Just imagine the speed and detail improvement in processing 3D models. We're talking tasks that used to take days, or weeks, now done in hours. And these models aren’t just static—A.I. allows them to be predictive. Eric Marquette That's it. Predictive modeling! And, people always think of this stuff as being only for massive projects. But it’s trickling down. Even smaller firms can now afford—and actually benefit from—A.I.-powered tools. Dan Smigrod Exactly. And this leads us to the keynote on digital twins—another massive shift. What’s amazing about digital twins is their versatility. In factories, they simulate production; in retail, they’re creating virtual tours of spaces. It’s this blending of physical and digital worlds. Eric Marquette Like, how cool is that? You can take a space or system and make the virtual version so detailed that you’re basically predicting the future. I mean, airports, theme parks, entire cities—they’re building these twins and saying, "Here’s how we optimize this." It's wild stuff. Dan Smigrod This is shaping up to be one of the must-attend conferences of the year. From deep-dives like "Reality Capture and GIS" to big-picture panels about collaboration. Eric Marquette It's a glimpse into the future of how we design, create, and connect through 3D innovation. Dan Smigrod The 3DISE Conference 2025 ... is Thursday, April 24th and Friday, April 25th in Prague. Save 30 percent with code: WGAN30REG at 3DISE.com. That's 3-D-I-S-E dot com.

And with our new model Merge and smart tagging features, scanning combining multiple sections of a property is seamless—capturing large spaces has never been faster or easier.” Next-Level Productivity: What’s Inside the Winter Release ✓ Matterport Marketing Cloud makes listing a property faster and easier than ever. For the first time, real estate agents can schedule a property to be digitized and receive a complete, ready-to-use digital marketing package within approximately 1 to 2 business days in most major metros. Each package includes a stunning 3D virtual tour, high-resolution images, a polished, social-media-ready video, AI-generated property descriptions, and detailed floor plans with precise room measurements—all powered by Matterport’s Property Intelligence .

New enhancements to Matterport’s tagging functionality help designers, architects, contractors, and property managers work more efficiently. Users can now copy annotations (tags) from one digital twin to another or import/export tags using CSV files—eliminating the need to recreate them manually. This is especially valuable for long-term projects where maintaining consistent documentation across multiple scans is critical. Plus, teams can now add field tags in real time while scanning, ensuring observations are recorded instantly and included in the final digital twin. These upgrades reduce the need for extra site visits, saving time and money. ✓ Faster collaboration with new multi-user scanning. The new Merge functionality allows multiple users to scan a property at the same time and combine their work—up to 2,000 scan points—into a single digital twin. For large or complex properties, this dramatically reduces turnaround time, enabling teams to capture spaces faster and work more efficiently. Whether scanning office buildings, multi-unit developments, or expansive retail spaces, teams can now collaborate in real-time to get the job done in a fraction of the time. ✓ Declutter any space instantly with Matterport’s defurnish tool. Home sellers and agents can now remove clutter, excess furniture, or personal items from a space with a single click—making it easier for buyers to see a property’s full potential. Users can also set the defurnished version of a 3D tour or still image as the default viewing experience. Coming soon, they will also be able to create highlight reels that showcase both furnished and defurnished views. Originally introduced in the Matterport 2024 Fall Release , defurnish is now fully available, giving real estate professionals a powerful way to present listings in their best light.

By integrating predictive analytics, DFW can foresee potential failures in critical systems like HVACs and boarding bridges before they happen, optimizing resources and reducing costs. Environmental Sustainability & Efficiency Gains A standout segment focuses on how DFW is leveraging digital tools, including Matterport, to enhance sustainability: Reducing aircraft fuel consumption: By optimizing gate docking procedures, ensuring proper ground connections, and minimizing auxiliary power use, American Airlines alone is projected to save up to $15 million annually in fuel costs. Stormwater management: Matterport scans help track stormwater outflows, ensuring contaminant-free water sources and integrating real-time IoT monitoring to prevent environmental damage. Optimizing landscape management: The scans provide a visual framework for monitoring airport surroundings, enabling proactive environmental protection. Looking Ahead: The Future of Digital Twins at DFW Dan and Eric discuss how DFW’s integration of Matterport, GIS, and predictive analytics sets a precedent for airports worldwide. With potential advancements like SIMLAB SIM-ON and wearable mobile mapping (NavVis VLX 3), DFW is pushing the boundaries of infrastructure management. Final Thoughts & Call-to-Action DFW’s approach demonstrates that digital transformation isn’t just about convenience—it’s about solving real-world challenges at scale.
