It also allows zoom in 3D tours. I'd stress that one should differentiate between formal megapixels used for marketing and actual level of detail and crispiness. The latter depends a lot on software, both during processing and visualization. Quote: Originally Posted by @Metroplex360 What camera is included with the subscription?

While it was designed for a smartphone + a LiDAR sensor, now - with the iPhone 12 Pro - the LiDAR sensor is built into the phone. GeoCV Co-Founder and CEO @AntonYakubenko was way ahead of all of us in anticipating that one day smartphones would include LiDAR. Perhaps Matterport and GeoCV will settle their lawsuit ... ✓ Lawsuit: Matterport, Inc. versus GeoCV, Inc. - All Legal Documents ... and Anton - and Occipital will play a role in Matterport + pro grade rotator + iPhone 12 Pro + Matterport Capture app?

Hi All,

Matterport Vice President, Product Marketing & Platform Indy Sen in the video above (starting at 39:02)

[Q]Is there a product that will rotate the iPad Pro or iPhone Pro on a tripod to capture spaces?

[A] Yeah, a fantastic question. We are evaluating right now. I think there is a bunch of third party entities that are building some of these tripods for iPhones and what not, and I think we are testing a few of them. Obviously, we haven't gotten our hands on the iPhone itself, the new one, but the iPad Pro's certainly we've been looking at some of these manufacturers who are making tripods. Our plan is to evaluate and potentially recommend the ones we feel are probably ... provide the best outcomes. We're still in that evaluation process though.

But I think if you look on for example Amazon, there's probably a couple that you can be able to find. Nothing that we have sort of endorsed or recommended yet. I think we're still figuring that out on our end.

	@DanSmigrod, I think both MP and Apple will offer a third party solution. I'd be shocked if MP created a rotator just for the iPhone. There in no rush to get the Pro3 out, I can't imagine that they'd take a second to support Apple. They use the same business model. All proprietary with relationships with a few "chosen" 3rd party peripherals. BTW, I'm an Apple devotee. I'm just making a guess.

	PS, I like to be proven wrong. I'm weird that way.

	OK, I'm not a code or app designing guy, but, I would think that with Bluetooth technology it would only be a matter of some sort of patent agreement between MP/Apple and the third party provider. Wait, I'm guessing iPhone would have to sync with this rotator device, then Capture would trigger the two synchronous devices? How does that sound? lol. Someone smarter than me please help!

	@DanSmigrod I would find it hard to think Matterport would partner with anybody. It would have been a great partnership prior to lawsuit.

	A very interesting question. On one hand, it would increase the number of creators. OTOH, it would hurt MSPs and destroy the sales of Pro2s. Plus- The barriers to entry for potential Matterport competitors just dropped considerably.
