Matterport & Insta360 OneR integration makes virtual modeling easier!

Industry insider states Matterport to announce integration with Insta360 OneR camera and capture application.  Matterport offers numerous 360 camera integrations, but the OneR has been widely anticipated.

Matterport, the leading virtual tour and interactive modeling software, is rumored to offer Insta360 OneR integration with the Capture app.  The leak has been confirmed that Matterport will announce this integration with a new firmware update in the coming weeks.

What is so exciting about Matterport Integrating with the Insta360 OneR Camera?  In the wake of Coronavirus, the Insta360 OneX has sold out almost everywhere. It is easy to assume Insta360 has curtailed production of this camera to launch the new camera.

While the Insta360 OneR was released to the public in January, there hasn’t been integration with Matterport to this day.  With no budget camera to purchase online, numerous entrepreneurs have been anticipating the launch of the integration with the Insta360 OneR.

Currently, the Insta360 OneR will connect to the capture application.  Unfortunately there are numerous glitches when using the camera. We expect the official integration to be announced in the next week or two.  With the integration launch, we expect the glitches to be addressed. Witnessing the OneR connect to the Capture app, and be recognized is a positive piece of evidence that Matterport will soon offer integration.

Virtual Tours or Interactive Modeling Now Easier

Matterport has been the industry leader for virtual tour creation in Real Estate.  With the prevalence of the remote working environment, more businesses are using virtual tours to entice new customers.  Businesses can even use the maps to plan for social distancing procedures.  While matterport has made virtual tours easy to produce, the same models can be used to create virtual storefronts.  This new interactive modeling has mixed virtual tours with organization assets to make remote teamwork and inspections easy!

Interactive modeling has offered drone pilots a nuanced opportunity to create virtual environments of event centers, film sets, and even construction sites. Drone pilots typically can offer additional deliverables to simple virtual tours by offering EXTERIOR models of spaces.

Experienced drone mappers can aggregate and organize multiple models on one large 3d map.  Drone mappers add more productivity and efficiency for remote teams and organizations.  Check out this map of a large hotel resort. We’ve connected matterport models of the event center and individual rooms.  The map has location based links that allow guests to have a better understanding of the amenities.

Frankly the Insta360 OneR will make virtual tours and interactive modeling much easier to help businesses bring business in the door.
