How the process works:
01
PLANNING & SITE ASSESSMENT
Our Team will reach out to you to get a better understanding of your project's requirements, capture areas & access arrangements.
A site survey may be arranged to assess the space's layout & technical considerations for the
scan.
02
ON-SITE 3D
SCANNING
A on-site scan will be planned to capture the physical environment using Matterport's Pro-series cameras.
03
POST
PRODUCTION & PROCESSING
The captured scans and data are then processed into an interactive, photorealistic 3D digital twin & hosted securely on Matterport's
cloud-hosted platform.
04
CUSTOMISATION & ENHANCEMENTS
Asset tags, multimedia, navigation features and spatial data exports can be incorporated (optional/add-on).
05
HANDOVER &
ACCESS
Delivery of a shareable digital twin with agreed hosting (hosted by PTS for 3 months or more / own account), access permissions and support (optional add-ons such as training & planned scans).
