... BUT there are thousands of other professions and services that could use this technology; 

• Restaurant or Pub displaying their venue 
• Homes under construction displayed in stages of completion 
• Stores that have an online shopping presence 
• Commercial Real Estate Brokers to display retail or office space. 
• Home designers to display what could be changed. 
• Insurance Companies for Claims or Verification Museums, 
• Art Galleries and other Venues 

 Matterport is a key part of the optimal “click and mortar” showroom and commerce experience. The Matterport Pro 3D Camera and Capture App for iPad automatically produces high-quality immersive 3D models in the hands of any user. As the camera gently spins, it captures the colors and contours of a space—and calculates dimensions and spatial relationships between objects. Other laser-based camera systems are cumbersome, expensive and take days to create a 3D model. Access and organize your 3D models. 

The Matterport 3D Portal is a management and distribution platform for all of your 3D models. Access and organize your scan jobs and models, collaborate with your team, share models with clients, and publish models to the general public. All of your 3D models are uploaded into the folder you designate for each user. Cloud-based creation and hosting of high-fidelity 3D models. 

The Matterport Cloud executes an extensive set of computer vision algorithms to process the photography and 3D data, creating a 3D model that combines HDR-quality imagery with dimensionally accurate geometry. In this way, geometrical data is converted into an efficient polygonal mesh, which can be easily streamed to the Matterport 3D Showcase media player. 

Be there. From anywhere. Once a Matterport 3D model is hosted in the Matterport Cloud, viewers anywhere in the world can explore these spaces from their desktop or mobile device. The result? A totally immersive experience that literally transports you. 

 This functionality is now available on Virtual Reality platforms like VR Googles. http://matterport.com/virtual-reality/ News Releases http://matterport.com/in-the-news/

When the square footage is wrong

Agent takes the square footage of the condo floor plan and rounds up!   Then ROLLS the square footage of the balcony into the square footage of the condo unit.  [balcony is a common element that is exclusive use]  Next year the agent uses that as the Square Footage.   You move in and find the unit SMALLER than advertised.

What are the rules?

5 Things to know about square footage I have received calls from buyers and real estate agents complaining about finding out that their home or condominium had less square footage than was represented on their original MLS® listing.   My immediate thought was "did the home shrink after closing?" In other words, if the square footage was really important to you, why didn't you measure it yourself before you bought the home? Here are 5 lessons to remember about square footage: 1.    When you buy from builder plans, nothing is guaranteed Some builders attach plans with square footage to their agreements, other don't. Even if the plan is attached, The Tarion Warranty Programme permits registered builders to make errors up to 2% and unfortunately, there are no penalties if the error exceeds 2%. While buyers can request a price adjustment if the error exceeds 2%, in my experience, most builders will not agree with this. In addition, there is confusion as to whether the measurements are just for interior living space or whether it goes to the exterior walls, and it may not account for pillars or other obstructions inside the unit. So even if you are relying on builder plans when figuring out the square footage, there may be errors in them. 2.    Buyers may be able to sue if the difference is substantial The case law has gone both ways as to whether a buyer can successfully sue if they find that the seller misrepresented the square footage and the difference was substantial, say over 10%. In some cases the listing brokerage was held responsible for not properly verifying the information. But it is not guaranteed. 3.    Will disclaimer clauses protect sellers and real estate salespeople A disclaimer clause will likely protect a seller from liability, unless they knew the information was false and gave it out anyways. However, a real estate salesperson is required to do their due diligence. That does not mean that you can just copy the square footage from an expired listing. If you do not do any due diligence, you may still have violated the Real Estate Council of Ontario Code of Ethics, even with a disclaimer clause. 4.    If you are acting for the buyer, ask how the seller came up with the square footage While buyer salesperson can normally rely on a listing salesperson to conduct due diligence, it is a good idea to always ask where the number for the square footage came from. Was it on plans, through MPAC or just from a prior MLS® listing when they bought in the first place? In addition, if you see a disclaimer clause, explain this to the buyer and consider having the property measured by the buyer themselves for verification. 5.    If you are not sure, just measure it yourself It is easy to be fooled when it comes to square footage. Professional home stagers are experts at making rooms appear larger than they are by the furniture that is used. If you are acting for a seller, discuss with the seller the advantages of hiring a professional to verify the square footage before putting the home on the market. If you are acting for a buyer, ask them if the square footage is important to them, and if necessary, take the time to do some of the measurements with the buyer to make sure the area is close to what is being represented. By asking the right questions both before listing and during the offer negotiations, there should be no complaints or claims about square footage after closing.If you have any stories to share about the GTA housing market or just need some advice, please contact me at mark@realestatelawyers.ca   Same rules apply when your two car garage has an interior hall closet protruding into the garage space or a staircase and landing added inside the garage to deal with the elevation [height] of the garage that renders your two car into a single car garage. The plan and elevation drawings [and municipal tax department] now indicate you have a two car garage where two cars cannot fit. Good advice from Mark Weisleder
