The Matterport 3D floor plan is an innovative way to showcase properties, allowing potential buyers to experience a virtual tour of a home or commercial space. In this essay, we will discuss the process of creating a 3D floor plan using the Theta Z One camera, as well as the benefits and limitations of this camera in comparison to the official Matterport cameras.
Firstly, it is important to note that while Lister Pros media specialists use official Matterport cameras, the Theta Z One camera can be purchased for around $1,000 and is a more affordable alternative. However, it does not have the same depth sensing capabilities as the Matterport cameras, meaning that it cannot produce a 2D schematic floorplan. Despite this limitation, the Theta Z One camera is still capable of producing high-quality images and is faster to use than the Matterport cameras.
To begin the process, the property must be prepped, including turning on all lights and making sure doors are open for all spaces to be captured. In addition, garages can be an issue due to auto-close, so a doorstop or similar object may need to be used to hold the door open for capturing. Once the property is prepped, the Theta Z One camera can be set up, with the height set at around five feet for a natural perspective. Starting at the front door, the camera can be moved around the property to capture different areas.
One benefit of the Theta Z One camera is its speed compared to the Matterport cameras. The camera can capture eight to 10 feet per scan and produces an audible noise to indicate when the picture has been taken, even if the app may still be showing that it is still scanning. However, it is important to make sure that the camera is capturing spaces where people have options to navigate, providing a good flow for contact points.
While the Theta Z One camera can produce high-quality images, it is important to note its limitations, including its battery life. The camera drains batteries faster than the Matterport cameras, which can complete four to five models with a single charge. The Theta Z One camera may also experience alignment issues and artifacting if windows and mirrors are not marked correctly during the capture process.
In conclusion, the Theta Z One camera is a more affordable alternative to the official Matterport cameras, capable of producing high-quality images and faster to use. However, it is important to note its limitations, including its inability to produce a 2D schematic floorplan and its shorter battery life compared to the Matterport cameras. Proper prepping and marking of windows and mirrors during the capture process can help to reduce alignment issues and artifacting. Overall, the Matterport 3D floor plan is a valuable tool for showcasing properties and can provide potential buyers with a virtual tour of a home or commercial space.
