Getting Started: Matterport Camera and iPad Setup
The process of creating 360 degree tours with Matterport is designed to be intuitive. Here's how easy it can be to get started:
Setting Up Your Matterport Camera: Matterport offers a range of cameras designed to capture spaces in incredible detail. Whether you use the Matterport Pro3 360 Camera, which delivers the highest accuracy and quality, or other models like the Matterport Axis, you can create 360 models of your space with precision. Simply place the camera in the centre of the room or space you want to capture.
Connect Your iPad: The Matterport camera seamlessly integrates with your iPad (or ours) through the Matterport Capture app. This app allows you to control the camera, start capturing scans, and manage the creation of your 360 tour in real-time.
Start Scanning: Once your camera is in place and connected, you can start scanning the room. The camera rotates 360 degrees, capturing every detail of the space from floor to ceiling. The iPad acts as your control centre, showing you each scan and helping you visualise the space in 360 as you go along.
Uploading and Processing: After capturing all the scans, the data is uploaded to Matterport’s cloud platform, where the 360 model is processed. This can then be customised, tagged, and shared with others to view in stunning clarity.
With just a Matterport camera and an iPad, you can capture entire buildings, large spaces, and intricate details, all while producing a high-quality interactive experience for your audience.
