Matterport 3D tours

Capture accessible spaces with Matterport and publish an agreed browser-based 3D record for the intended audience.

Final coverage, availability, format and delivery are confirmed in the written brief.

Useful for

  • Existing-condition surveys
  • Weekly, fortnightly or monthly progress records
  • Remote monitoring and reporting
  • Post-construction handover
  • Facilities and operations reference

Brief inputs

  • Purpose and project stage
  • Areas to include and exclude
  • Capture frequency
  • Access and privacy restrictions
  • Hosting, users and retention

Possible outputs

  • Matterport 3D tour
  • Recurring dated tours
  • Mattertags or notes when agreed
  • Share links
  • Point-cloud or add-on outputs when separately scoped

Boundary

  • ZX Capture currently uses Matterport for this service.
  • A visual digital twin supports viewing and information access; it does not automatically become an engineering-grade or survey-controlled model.

Matterport accuracy, in plain language

Published camera specification. Matterport’s current Pro3 technical specification lists raw depth accuracy of ±20 mm at 10 m. That describes a single camera measurement under stated conditions; it is not a blanket ±20 mm promise for every finished dimension, point cloud, CAD drawing or BIM model.

Relative accuracy is how well points and dimensions relate inside the captured model. Example: the measured distance from one wall to a nearby door. Scan spacing, overlap, alignment and the shape of the space can affect it.

Absolute accuracy is how well the model matches an external coordinate system or survey control. Example: whether a captured corner lands at the correct surveyed east, north and elevation coordinates. That requires a separately defined control and verification method; a Matterport tour alone should not be described as survey-controlled.

Matterport states that error can accumulate across aligned scans and does not guarantee the accuracy of generated MatterPak point-cloud or mesh files. For that reason, every scan-to-CAD/BIM brief must state the required use, tolerance, coordinate requirement and verification method.

Official Matterport references

Source links checked 30 August 2026. Matterport may revise product specifications; the current project scope should reference the applicable camera and source version.
