I was pretty lucky to grow up with computers, I think my first computer my father purchased when I was about 7 yrs old and I’ve since grow up with Nintendo, Playstations, Xboxs and now smart devices, so I feel I can handle most applications (or Apps as my son says).
However sometimes technology can become overwhelming and many people just give up if applications are too hard to use, however thankfully the matterport camera and software system is fairly intuitive and straight forward in its use.
To help navigate through the use of the tours, I’ve included a handy cheat sheet below.
The guide below is if you are using your PC to view a Matterport 3D tour. The mouse is your friend and ideally a 3 button mouse will be the best to use to get the most out of the tour.
When you are using a smart device, your fingers replace a mouse and you simply use your finger to move around the space, sometimes holding down one finger, then dragging another will allow you to zoom, the pinch action of your fingers works best for zooming for an image, seen in the images below.
Once inside the 3D tour there are some handy icons in the bottom left side of the screen, which allow you to do a lot more with your tour.
In fact I believe these functions set our 3D camera system apart from other systems out there in the market.
Doll house view for me is the number 1 most powerful tool for the 3D tour, it just gives you that grand perspective on the layout of the home. I often find it difficult to build a mental picture of the house to see if the layout will work and flow for you family needs. Sometimes you can get overwhelmed in the WOW factor of the home and its hard in the short few minutes you get to inspect a home how it will work for you and your family.
The Dolls house view, seen above is the most powerful tool for to help build a digital twin of your future family home and see how it can work for you.
Another powerful tool is the measurement guide, which can be accessed again by the icons in the bottom left of the screen.
From there you can use the + symbol to click and measure any space in the room! How great is that, will my new lounge fit into the room, well click and measure away! Or more importantly can I even it fit the fridge through the front door!
