What is Matterport and how does it work?

Matterport is a 3D scanning technology that creates a complete, navigable digital model of a property. During the shoot, an Open Homes photographer moves through the home with a Matterport camera, capturing overlapping 360-degree scans in each room. Those scans are stitched together into an interactive “dollhouse” model that buyers can explore room by room on any device, at their own pace. It can also be viewed in virtual reality for a fully immersive walkthrough experience.
