Matterport Pro2 takes higher resolution volumetric 3D 360 VR models


Matterport announced the Pro2 camera, an updated and higher resolution version of its original 3D camera.


Matterport is a true depth-sensing VR camera that produces volumetric 3D 360 models in which viewers can move around in VR, making it very useful for real estate agents.

Now Matterport has announced the launch of the new Matterport Pro2 3D camera, which offers much higher resolution compared to its original model.   In fact, the resolution is high enough that it can produce print-ready photos.



Here are the key specifications of the Pro2.
- Photo resolution: 8092 x 4552 (36mp), compared to 1280 x 720 for the original Pro.
- 360 panorama resolution: 134mp, compared to 33mp for the original Pro.
- GPS (the original Pro had no GPS).
- Price: $3,995 versus $3,395 for the original.   As with the original, there is a monthly subscription for its cloud service.

For those who bought the original within the past 6 months, there's a trade in program.  If you bought a Matterport Pro on or after December 1, 2016 from an authorized seller and you have an active Matterport account, you can trade in your Pro for a Pro2.  The actual trade-in value will depend on the age of the camera and its condition.

360dVR is a crowdfunded 5K 360 camera with 7 lenses arranged in a "dimensional" as opposed to planar configuration.  It is being crowdfunded for as low as $799.

360dVR is a 360 camera designed for professional use with 7 lenses arranged in a three-dimensional arrangement with five lenses arranged radially, one lens on top and another below.  According to its creators, this dimensional arrangement provides superior image quality to a planar arrangement.

Here are the key specifications:
- 7 lenses
- video resolution: up to 5K (5168 x 2584) @ 30fps
- up to 90 minutes continuous recording time
- built-in memory of 112GB or 224GB
- diameter: 140mm (5.5 inches).

The videos from the 360dVR are not stitched.  Instead, users can stitch the video using third party software such as Autopano Video.

The 360dVR will have an MSRP of $1399 but is available for preorder on their Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign for $799.

Here are sample videos.  Here is their official webpage.

Thank you very much to Tony Anastasi for bringing this to my attention!
