Matterport creates a 3D virtual photographic environment known as a Digital Twin. Inside the virtual environment users can review physical information such as building condition, building services, fit out and period features in high definition. Designers can work collaboratively together or host meetings with clients and contractors, reducing site visits and carbon footprint. Elements can be tagged with design notes, documents, and hyperlinks enhancing project communication and benefitting preconstruction tenders.

Monitoring construction progress is critical to delivering the development without compromise and within budget. By imaging the build at key stages clients, architects and contractors can evaluate progress and overcome challenges before they impact design and cost.

Matterport also benefits Facilities Management and Planned Maintenance. Upgrades to mechanical, electrical, and plumbing services are traditionally implemented using measured survey data. The Digital Twin allows engineers to tag retrofit upgrades within the high-resolution 3D environment. This photographic communication facility speeds on site recognition, reducing installation time and cost.

Matterport is the perfect environment for wayfinding. Finding your way around large public buildings is challenging. Visits to hospitals and large academic buildings are a worrying experience without the added concern of getting lost. The Digital Twin provides a platform to explore the building in advance. Users become familiar within the space and plan routes to their destination. Many public sector organisations are using Digital Imaging to provide a realistic online wayfinding experience, improving user comfort and operational efficiency.
