This suite of insight-driven capabilities and automations, including new plug-ins, updated add-ons, and more, leverages years of innovation in spatial data and artificial intelligence to unleash the power of next-generation digital twins. It automatically displays detailed property information and insights for faster, more informed decision-making, revolutionizing real estate analytics and providing an ideal solution for enhancing marketing, design, construction, and facilities management!


On February 15, 2024, Matterport released a host of groundbreaking features in its Winter 2024 release, representing the latest innovations and artificial intelligence in its digital twin platform. One such feature suite, Property Intelligence , is a suite of AI- powered capabilities that enables clients to access digital twins of their properties generated by Matterport, including automated measurement, layout, editing, and reporting. Property Intelligence combines years of advancements in spatial data, computer vision, and deep learning, leveraging Matterport's automation and AI power to unlock information and data about properties, making this information and data more readily available than ever before. These new features enhance the company's real estate marketing , design, construction , and facilities management solutions, automating key elements of property listings, construction projects, and factory operations, marking a significant milestone towards a smarter future.

“From day one, our mission has been to fundamentally change the way people understand and view the world of architecture. Our 3D digital twin technology has set the industry standard for virtual tourism, and now we are providing unprecedented information and customization capabilities for clients of any type of property around the world,” said RJ Pittman, Chairman and CEO of Matterport.

More than a decade ago, when Matterport embarked on this journey, it sought to change the world by providing ways to experience a space or place, regardless of where you live or work. Matterport's digital twin technology quickly became the industry standard for real estate marketing, enabling anyone to virtually browse real estate from anywhere in the world.


Since then, they have continuously evolved their platform to provide clients with diverse solutions throughout the entire real estate lifecycle, from design and construction to facilities management, creating tools for remote collaboration and increased efficiency in an industry that has historically relied on face-to-face communication. As Matterport advances the next generation of digital twins, they are enriching their platform with intelligent features and insights designed to help clients better understand properties and make informed decisions—whether you're listing new homes for sale, managing a construction site, or reconfiguring a factory workshop, this new Property Intelligence feature helps you achieve what you need efficiently and directly.


“Globally, Matterport delivers nearly 1 billion virtual tours annually, allowing people to visit their potential dream homes, manage chain retail stores, or remotely operate their manufacturing facilities. Our advancements in artificial intelligence, automation, and property insights save our customers valuable time, helping them make smarter business decisions and better serve their clients,” said RJ Pittman, Chairman and CEO of Matterport.

Room dimensions and labels

Instant and accurate measurement

Accurate room-by-room measurements are one of the most common and time-consuming requirements for potential homebuyers to understand whether a property suits their needs. Now, when you build a Matterport digital twin, every wall in each model (including ceiling height) is automatically measured to help you truly understand the scale of the space. Common rooms are also automatically labeled, and Property Intelligence can identify more than 20 different space types, such as kitchens, offices, bedrooms, closets, and more.



Property Layout

An easy-to-edit property layout.

Instantly view your space layout. Each room can be fully edited with simple click tools, allowing you to reimagine a space and observe the recalculation of measurements as you adjust. View your property's layout instantly. Easily switch between 2D and 3D views of your space with a single click, including labeled room names, walls , and more. Each room in the Property Layout can be fully edited with simple click tools to adjust walls, openings, and room names. Easily add or delete doors and windows, move walls, or adjust rooms – measurements are updated instantly with every change.

Property Report

MLS-ready attribute data.

Access property information that can be seamlessly printed and imported into marketing materials. All work done in Property Layout is immediately updated to Property Reports, a printable view of useful new property information, including layout and a complete analysis by room, floor, and total property value – all of which can be seamlessly imported into Multiple Listing Service (MLS) or used for marketing materials such as property listing flyers. For Matterport customers with Professional plans and later, Property Reports can be shared and exported, while customers who have purchased Matterport API access can further save time by integrating data from Property Intelligence into their daily workflows and systems, such as Multiple Listing Services, to fully utilize their property data.

For real estate marketing professionals, these enhancements offer new insights into property potential, eliminating buyers' reliance on time-consuming site visits and additional back-and-forth trips between sales agents. For agents, in-depth data helps accelerate home sales through instant, clear property overviews, while saving time entering MLS data.

For design, construction, and facilities management professionals, this information will help optimize the function of spaces , from guiding development to supporting renovation cost estimates and large-scale property assessments.

Introducing display plugins: minimap, compass, business card, and quick links.

Plugin Introduction

For the millions of visitors who visit Matterport 3D space every month,
Matterport introduces a new suite of features, the Showcase plugin, that makes connecting and navigating easier and more useful than ever before. Enable new features in your showcase to improve the user's digital twin experience.


Business cards and quick links

Add branding, contact information, and custom links to each 3D tour to connect with visitors. Real estate agents can brand virtual tours, while property and facilities managers can insert key information in the form of cards anywhere in the virtual space, including user manuals, restaurant menus, reservation pages, and more.

business card

Enhance the visitor experience by integrating scalable business cards that display key contact information. For example, this could include agent or broker details for properties for sale or lease, or a hotel reservation desk.

Quick Links

Add images and links to a corner of your digital twin for quick and easy access to content. This could be adding a menu to a restaurant, booking time for museum tickets, a donation button, and more.


Each plugin can be used individually or together, and its size and position within the space can be customized.

Compass and minimap

It helps visitors navigate large spaces intuitively through new visual cues, making it easy and precise to navigate large spaces such as golf courses and construction sites.

Minimap

Contextualize your location in large spaces for easier navigation through large areas such as construction sites, commercial buildings, or large properties. Minimaps can be customized in different sizes and shapes and can be placed in any corner of the screen.

compass

For spaces where directional context is important, the compass add-on allows viewers to navigate the digital twin more clearly, indicating which direction is north relative to their viewpoint. This is particularly useful for architecture and development, as understanding factors such as sunlight, wind, and other direction-dependent elements can further enhance a viewer's understanding of the space. Like the minimap add-on, the compass is available in various styles and sizes to suit different user preferences.


Floor plan enhancements

To better serve real estate agents and marketers, Matterport has upgraded its RICS standard schematic floor plan to improve property listings, increase revenue per job, and launch projects with a simplified layout. Previously only available in black and white, Matterport's popular and affordable 2D floor plans now offer more customization options , including color floor plans , branding, multiple languages ​​(such as English, French, German, and Spanish), and the ability to add or remove furniture.


The new floor plan is not only a simple way to attract qualified buyers who are ready to make an offer, but it also saves time on site visits by creating it directly from the 3D tour, eliminating the need for additional visits!

CAD file add-ons are now available in all categories.

A beta version of the Matterport CAD File Add-on , released in December 2023 , is now available. This add-on converts Matterport digital twin point clouds into AutoCAD-ready 2D floor plans of any space (in multiple formats, including DWG and DXF files).


The Matterport CAD File Add-in is now available for Professional Planners and above. This add-in introduces powerful CAD file export capabilities, providing users with an alternative to tedious manual documentation of as-built conditions, repeated site visits to collect missing information, and manual document tracking . It offers a seamless solution for construction and design teamssolving the traditionally labor-intensive tasks of documenting existing conditions and manually tracking documents, significantly saving time and resources. The CAD File Add-in simplifies the as-built documentation process and accelerates project progress.


Customers can choose from four different output options to meet their needs:

• Architecture • Interior Furniture • Electricity • All of the above
