Matterport to street-level collection for Google Street View17825

Hey guys,

I have the opportunity to shoot a virtual tour of a town center closeby. I am planning to use Matterport for this tour and will be shooting with a Pro2 taking a picture roughly every 5-10 metres.

My question is whether and how it is possible to implement this tour into Google Street View in order to explore the towns' roads etc. on Google Maps (basically the same way that the pictures taken by the Google Street View Car are used on Google Maps).

Is it possible to do this with Matterports GSV add on? I am unsure about this as I am specifically looking for a way to implement the roads of the city, not the shops.

Thank you very much in advance,

Jamal

As a Google Trusted Pro for 6 years, my Google Streetview tours are processed through Matterport in the Add-On tab under model management. However, keep in mind Google has requirements for adding streets, and here's a link to that here. https://partnerdash.google.com/apps/basemap/welcome/

Matterport Pro2 Camera is NOT the right tool for outdoors and streets ( "blue lines" on Google Street View ).

If you still decided to use the Pro2 for either 360 Scans or 360 Views, it is likely going to be a nightmare on post production requiring that you engage an expert in Google Street View to manually position the 360s and then use a different platform to upload and position on Google Maps.

I highly recommend that you buy one of these Labpano cameras that are designed specifically for doing 360s for Google Street View. It's so well designed, you can upload the 360s directly to Google Street View from the camera (no computer necessary).

1. Labpano Pilot Era ($999.95 Great price!)
2. Labpano Pilot ONE EE ($1,149)
3. Labpano PilotPano ($479) (announced on Thursday, 10 November 2022: shipping scheduled for January 17 - February 7, 2023, according to Amazon. Pay extra for 29 December through 4 January 2023)

I doubt it will work even with 5 meters distance. It is only a Pro3 can do it.

And as everybody else has mentioned a Matterport tour is good for business inside tours and even outdoor tours of parks if you can capture them in Sunlight. However it is not going to work for street and roads blue lines.
Theoretically it is possible to create a blue line for a street using a Matterport camera but you will need a road to be closed(you will be working on it non stop) and you will need to take a scan every 2-3 meters. But again a Pro2 won't work in sunlight even with clouds so for streets and blue lines it is better to use a camera that can record a path as a 360 video with a GNNS track attached.
