Matterport Reality Capture Sees Gains on Larger Projects
Design firm Corgan has used Matterport on 28 airport projects, says David Huor, Corgan senior associate. “We use it to scan existing conditions. It provides efficiencies to the team; no going back and forth. Exporting point clouds helps us verify that our model is correct. Punch lists can be developed from scans.”
According to Matterport’s website, the technology allowed Corgan to complete 50 scans in about an hour at Los Angeles International Airport of a 575-ft-long, 18,000-sq-ft utility tunnel, and has reduced that time by 50% since then using Matterport’s fast capture capability.
On one project, walking through the 3D scans answered questions without requiring going back to the site. “At some point there was a questioning of quantities. We walked through the space and confirmed the count without someone having to go back out to the airport,” says Huor.
