．3 Tips for Beginners
When performing 360° scanning with Matterport, choosing the correct scan positions directly impacts the quality of your customers' viewing experience. Imagine! Each fixed point of the scanner is the visitor's perspective, so before scanning, you can simulate the customer's actual walking path. Here are 3 scanning tips for beginners to quickly master:
I. Recommended Distance for Scan Points
1. Distance between scan points: 1.5 – 2.5 m
2. Distance between scanner and wall/object: 60 cm (to effectively prevent distortion and blurring)
3. Scan distance before and after a doorway: 60 – 90 cm
Scan the space before entering and after entering; it is recommended not to place the scan point in the middle of the doorway.
II. Scan Path
1. It is recommended to move along a "straight line" for fixed points to ensure a smooth viewing experience for guests.
2. When scanning a narrow corridor, the distance between the scanner and the wall/object should be at least 45 cm (to avoid alignment errors and distortion).
3. Passing the scanner through a "door"
During scanning, open every door in the space (angle at least >45°).
III. Multi-Story Scanning
When scanning multi-story buildings, it is recommended to move upwards from the "ground floor".
