“The Court of Cassation is an institution that the French have in common. Beating heart of our justice, for more than 200 years, it has rendered decisions that have shaped our society. In this context of health crisis, Matteport's proposal to model our historic rooms in 3D, free of charge, appeared to us as a very good opportunity: an original and innovative way to make this place steeped in history better known to the general public. and each architectural detail of which recalls the values to which we are all attached. ", announced Guillaume FRADIN, head of the communication service of the Court of Cassation.

James MORRIS-MANUEL, Managing Director EMEA of Matterport, added: “These digital twins of the Cour de Cassation rooms are good examples of the high precision of Matterport technology. This is a real technological achievement in terms of 3D spatial modeling. In addition, we introduced an editing tool, the Blur Brush, which we used to give the institution more control over privacy features. We are very happy to be able to make this modest contribution to the great mission of sharing human heritage to as many people as possible. "

The French Constitution was promulgated on October 4, 1958.

It is also an opportunity to present in a way that everyone can understand how justice works and how the laws govern all aspects of our lives: freedoms, security, economy, social relations, etc.

Matterport provides its 3D visualization and building information modeling (BIM) technologies to many historic places around the world, both to help preserve them and to make World Heritage more accessible through digital twins.
