Matterport launches Notes, an interactive communication and collaboration tool in the digital twin

Matterport Inc., the world leader in 3D capture technology and spatial data, announced the launch of the beta of the Notes application, a tool for conversation, real-time team collaboration and file sharing directly in the digital twin Matterport.

With Notes, homebuyers and renters can invite friends and family to locate and visually label their favorite rooms and habitat features, corporate workplace teams can collaborate on space planning and office layout and businesses can manage facilities, assign tasks and make key operational decisions faster across a portfolio of remote sites.

“Notes is a game-changer for teamwork and efficiency,” comments Japjit Tulsi, technical director CTO at Matterport. “Increasingly, companies are adopting collaborative and communication features to improve work across distributed workforces to save time and money. Notes is an industry first, bringing collaborative conversations into the digital twin. By enabling interactions directly with specific locations and objects in the digital twin, Notes saves considerable time and significantly improves teamwork, efficiency and productivity across multiple stakeholders. “, he adds.

Using Notes, users can have conversations directly in a Matterport space. Anyone invited to a space can ask questions, post a comment, view, reply and create threads and receive instant email notification when activity occurs. New users can be easily added via @mentions.

Additionally, multiple users can securely share and access files and participate in chat threads including attachments, images, documents and videos. With built-in privacy features, only invited attendees can view and comment on Notes, even if the Matterport space is publicly available.
