Matterport Pro3 Plus Package: $1,995 With a 24-Month Plan TomSparks 10 2 daysVREAgent (19): A fork is plausible: keep the Pro2/Pro3 line and the hosted Spaces for the installed base, and launch the splat camera as a separate product. The camera is the easy part, XGRIDS already ships one at $5K. The question is whether the new product arrives with new account terms or the old ones. Two practical questions for anyone who has read the Plus plan terms: can a Pro3 bought outright be deactivated for non-payment, or only units sold under...
What's New In Proptech: October 2, 2026 TomSparks 1 9 daysTomSparks (2018): https://ninja-post-cdn.s3.amazonaws.com/photos/af409c71d60ba90ba5f612f73822daa2.jpg New research says more than 90 percent of AI-altered listing photos on the major US portals carry no disclosure at all - and the single most common alteration is sky replacement, which describes a routine step in most of our workflows. That is the story of the week, and it lands squarely on this community rather than on the portals. Elsewhere, CubiCasa and...
What's New In Proptech: September 25, 2026 TomSparks 1 16 daysTomSparks (2018): https://ninja-post-cdn.s3.amazonaws.com/photos/d2087d786375a573b71b5d5b1db24196.jpg After six weeks of waiting, Insta360 has set a US launch date for Spatial Capture: Monday, September 28. Gaussian splatting from a 360 video, generated in a phone app, working on the X5 and X4 Air as well as the X6 - and Insta360 is including four free scene generations per month. That is the most accessible 3DGS workflow this industry has seen, and most of...
Giraffe360: Drone Capture for 3D Gaussian Splats TomSparks 4 18 daysAmy (105): Adding a shameless promotion here! 👋 We built Kitchen so people like the WGAN community can help shape the features that move the industry forward. It’s completely free to join, and you don’t need to be a Giraffe user to try it. All we ask for in return is your honest feedback. So if you like getting your hands on new features early, testing new tech and having the companies building it actually listen to what you think, give Kitchen a...
You scan, I review: $8,000. Does your price list look like this? TomSparks 2 20 daysMeidansha (1278): "Rescue jobs"? (lol). I have had three in the last 12 months. I am so glad that these platforms always say "it's easy" when they sell a pricy 12 month subscription to my new clients (haha). Seriously, it is easy if you have ever used the old technology so know what its limitations are. Selling a doctor a new machine with that line works because he spent six years studying medicine. My rescue jobs earnt me a whole heap...
What's New In Proptech: September 18, 2026 TomSparks 3 23 daysTomSparks (2018): Thanks @daviddemilo The future is 3DGS... there's some scanners out that are affordable... i've been eyeing the Pocket 3D Take a peek at it. I think Costar/Zillow are still at a standoff unfortunately. I haven't heard anything new since their last round of fighting. Yeah, here in CA we have AB723 that passed. Sounds similar to your MLS rules in Idaho.
Which SLAM Scanner Are You Buying or Watching? TomSparks 1 26 daysTomSparks (2018): https://ninja-post-cdn.s3.amazonaws.com/photos/9749d449777035f2680091f4d03c5d27.jpg I have been watching the SLAM scanner category get crowded fast, and I want a read on where this community actually sits right now. A few years ago the conversation was basically Leica BLK2GO versus NavVis, and the price of entry kept most of us on the sidelines. That is no longer the case. Buying guides now put the handheld range at roughly 15K on the...

New WGAN Membership Tiers Start October 1, 2026 TomSparks 1 1 monthTomSparks (2018): When I took over We Get Around Network from Dan Smigrod at the start of this year, one of the first things I looked at was the membership structure. It had grown over the years into a mix of plan names that no longer described what anyone actually got. Basic, Standard, Premium, Fan Club, International Fan Club, etc. If you had to explain the difference to a new member, you would struggle, and I did struggle, more than once. So on October 1,...

Insta360's Spatial Capture, the Gaussian splatting feature we covered three weeks ago, has been confirmed unavailable in the US. Zillow and Redfin settled with the FTC hours before their antitrust trial was set to begin. And a Compass...
Realsee Galois P4: 8,000 Sq Ft Commercial Test Scan TomSparks 1 1 monthTomSparks (2018): Realsee is a We Get Around Network Marketing Partner https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iptevrjbBqo I brought the Realsee Galois P4 to an 8,000 square foot commercial building in Berkeley, California and handed it to someone who had never touched a Realsee camera before. Emily Olman of Hopscotch Interactive has been scanning the built environment for years, so this is a first impressions test on a working commercial space instead of...

Gear Check: What's the One Purchase You Regret? TomSparks 8 2 monthsWingman (4831): BLK360 G1 for AU$15000. However I am not regretting buying it as a good tool in general, I am regretting buying a product from Leica which I now consider is an company operating through extortion from their own users. I bet they could never explain why G2 users can capture and get their data out of their proprietary format without paying anything to Leica while G1 users have to pay $1000s monthly just for it. If anybody ever goes against Leica...
What Virtual Tours Don't Show Buyers — WGAN in Redfin TomSparks 2 2 monthsDataventurer (645): You asked for opinions - and I got some! First, I question Redfin's two-thirds stat about offers made without an in-person visit. Not in my world! I see the object of digital media as creating enough interest for a potential buyer to add the home to their short-list for a visit in person. Secondly, I think you are putting a lot of the "heavy lifting" on the virtual tour. A full digital media suite of photos, video...

DJI answered a day later with the Osmo 360 II at roughly $460,...

What's New In Proptech: July 31, 2026 TomSparks 2 2 monthsOrangeHill (103): Re: My 2 cents on SJM Tech I agree with everything said under “Why this Matters…” because, yes, the workflow for capturing and reconstructing 3DGS assets is becoming increasingly democratized, and hosting and navigating them remains a challenge to universal adoption. My quibble with SJM’s paid marketing content posing as a press release because they are not really saying anything to new and SJM provided links to SuperSplat.ai with very...

One Thing You Wish You Knew When You Started TomSparks 6 3 monthsChemistrydoc (2022): Had NDA / Noncompete - from same lawyer who wrote the cease and decist letters. What my point really was (probably didn't express it well) is that I needed to vett more carefully and systematically. Could have prevented that situation (and others!). Live and learn. KF
