Not every Matterport job is a simple walk-through of a house. Large, complex sites—campuses, multi-floor facilities and operational buildings—need a different approach. The biggest challenge is rarely camera quality; it’s time, access, and maintaining a clean capture workflow while the site stays live. Plan zones before you capture For large buildings, capture planning should be [...]
When deadlines tighten—end-of-year listings, staging, and last-minute viewings—speed matters. A Matterport virtual tour gives agents and homeowners a fast way to present a property clearly, while giving buyers something simple: the ability to understand layout before they book a visit. We regularly see demand across Central London and commuter areas such as Brentwood, where properties [...]
December in London can produce stunning property marketing—yet winter capture conditions often create the biggest challenges for a Matterport scan. Low sun angles, fast-changing daylight and reflective finishes (glass, mirrors, polished stone and glossy cabinetry) can all reduce the “clean” feel of a 3D virtual tour if you don’t plan for them. The quickest win [...]
I wanted to share some photos from a recent capture that I carried out at the Screen on the Green in Islington, London. The scan was carried out on behalf of Matterport, the photos were taken on my iPhone and are not reflective of either the scan or the 4k photos that one can take [...]
Office buildings don’t stand still. Layouts evolve, facilities are upgraded, and areas get reconfigured as projects move through phases. The real challenge isn’t capturing a space once—it’s keeping a digital twin accurate after changes happen, without re-scanning everything from scratch. In October we carried out a complicated revisit Matterport scan for Capgemini London at 95 Queen Victoria Street, EC4V 4HN, near [...]
The biggest value in a multi-site project is consistency. If each store is captured differently (different scan route, different coverage, different level of detail), the digital twins become harder to compare and less useful as a standard reference. For this batch, the goal was a repeatable approach that works whether the unit is 1,600 sq [...]
August is peak season for hospitality spaces in London. Restaurants and hotels are busy, teams are stretched, and any project that adds disruption quickly becomes a problem. That’s exactly why Matterport capture works so well for hospitality: you can create a high-quality digital twin that supports marketing, planning and operations—without dragging stakeholders into repeated site [...]
Commercial projects move fast: fit-outs accelerate, trades overlap, and stakeholders need to make decisions quickly—often without everyone being on site. That’s exactly where a Matterport digital twin becomes more than a “virtual tour.” For commercial property, it’s a practical documentation tool: a time-stamped, navigable record that helps teams coordinate, track progress, and reduce the number [...]
In March 2025 we began a large, multi-level Matterport capture for Capgemini London at 95 Queen Victoria Street, City of London, EC4V 4HN. From the outset, this was stitched-by-design: the size and complexity of the building meant the final deliverable would be created by combining multiple captures into one coherent digital twin. Matterport refers to this as Stitching—the manual combination [...]
Is it possible to use portable lighting in 3d scans? The answer is yes, but it really depends on what the scan is designed to do. You can use portable lighting in 3D scans before by adding a light on top of the Matterport camera and allowing it to spin. The light stays on the [...]
