[Surround Scan] Virtual Imaging Showdown: Pro2 vs. Pro3, Find Your Perfect Spatial Scanner!
Since the official launch of the new Matterport Pro3 3D surround view scanner, users will have more options for virtual space modeling! However, compared with the previous generation Pro2 , apart from resolution and some feature updates, most enterprise users are not fully aware of the benefits of this new technology and often make decisions based solely on price. Let us provide you with more reference points to find the surround view scanner that best suits your needs.
The Pro2 is indeed the industry's first all-around surround view scanner, combining scanning capabilities with online demonstrations. Customers in over 100 countries worldwide rely on it to create 3D virtual reality images of various buildings. The Matterport Pro2 boasts features such as 4K high-definition image quality, 99% accuracy, and a single scan time of only 20 seconds; it can be considered a leader in indoor spatial imaging. The Matterport Pro2 has become an indispensable tool in many industries, with applications categorized as follows:
Residential and real estate industry
The Pro2 uses infrared sensing technology to perceive the environment in real time and create a stereoscopic image. Through a 4K camera and computational analysis, it creates a lifelike 3D virtual space, providing an immersive experience when viewed online. This allows users to experience the charm of interior design and space without physically visiting the property, making it a convenient online property viewing tool that saves real estate developers time and manpower. At the same time, consumers viewing properties online can also use the Matterport Pro2 's features to understand the dimensions of the space, which is helpful for pre-planning applications in hotel accommodations and interior design.

Industrial manufacturing
In industrial applications, in addition to 3D imaging, the Pro2 camera can also record details in the scene with 4K resolution, making it easy to record factory safety facilities or conduct remote inspections; it can even be used to record the configuration of equipment or production lines. Before new employees join the company, this data can not only help employees get up to speed quickly, but can also be used for education and training in conjunction with remote training.

Construction Engineering
Matterport has helped many architects and project managers advance building timelines in recent years. On construction sites, the Pro2 camera simplifies and speeds up remote recording, online discussions, and project management. From bare concrete to finished finishes and even final inspections, Matterport can document everything. Wherever you are, Matterport can easily recreate the construction site and even review past construction progress, helping both parties complete the project successfully.

Property Insurance
For property insurance, documentation is a crucial element, ensuring that everything from the initial situation of an accident and on-site damage assessment to the final restoration work or compensation is traceable. Matterport 's 3D scanning technology can easily import scan data into the Xactimate system and use the specific details on the map as a benchmark for compensation estimation.
So what exactly are the differences between Matterport Pro2 and Pro3? We can understand some of the key performance differences by referring to the table:
The Pro2 creates immersive, realistic, and highly accurate 3D replica spaces, boasting up to 8 hours of battery life. It is a commercial tool suitable for professionals, providing an ideal choice for various industries that combines quality, speed, and cost-effectiveness.
The Pro3 Surround Scanner takes 3D imaging to new heights, utilizing advanced digital twin technology. Beyond its superior speed, fidelity, and the convenience of a replaceable battery, it can create 3D replicas of any size and complexity. Unlike the infrared sensing used in the Pro 2, the Pro3 employs a LiDAR sensor for 3D scanning, significantly increasing the range of a single scan and enabling its use in outdoor landscapes and natural environments while minimizing the impact of lighting conditions. Commercial environments such as large resorts, hotels, campuses, factories, airport terminals, and large shopping malls can all benefit from the Pro3's new technology, allowing for the recording of digital spaces with both impressive scale and precision.
In the past, the Pro2 was priced at only half that of the Pro3 and led the industry for many years, capturing 3D images that surpassed any other camera on the market; until Matterport surpassed itself with the Pro3. This truly groundbreaking 3D surround view device is currently unmatched by any other competitor, and no flat-panel camera can reach the level of the Pro3.
