Getting point-cloud data to verify as-builts and quickly map out an interior space is often a matter of balancing time and cost. But new smaller, easier-to-use scanners are coming to market that don’t require extra training or large investments to deploy on jobsites.

Building on their previous scanner, Matterport’s Pro2 offers a much-improved visual fidelity while maintaining the camera’s single-button functionality. “Our focus is making sure the equipment is low cost and the user experience is very simple,” says Bill Brown, Matterport CEO.
