Matterport, Inc. announced its strategic partnership and investment in SIMLAB, a technology company that specializes in the digitization of buildings throughout the design and construction phases.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cOur partnership with SIMLAB further cements Matterport as the spatial data platform of choice for the AEC industry,\u201d said\u00a0RJ Pittman<\/strong>, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Matterport<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Using the Matterport platform, the\u00a0SIMLAB\u00a0creates products and features that integrate Matterport digital twins with BIM and smart home IoT technologies.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Matterport platform is a game-changer for the global construction industry by making it easy to digitize buildings at any stage of development,\u201d said\u00a0Marek Kozlak<\/strong>, founder and CEO of SIMLAB<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

New functionalities<\/h2>\n

Matterport enables customers to capture a space with any supported camera, including the iPhone. Once captured, Matterport automatically creates a dimensionally accurate, photorealistic digital twin.\u00a0<\/p>\n

With SIMLAB\u00a0Stages<\/em>, project stakeholders gain access to new functionality to more precisely track and view progress at all stages of construction. Inspections at construction sites can be done remotely and teams can collaborate with multi-user support, eliminating costly and time-consuming travel to job sites and speeding project execution timelines.<\/p>\n

\n

Time and cost savings for customers<\/h2>\n

Nohara Holdings, one of\u00a0Japan\u2019s\u00a0most respected construction resource specialists, and Misawa, one of the country\u2019s top construction companies, used SIMLAB\u00a0Stages<\/em>\u00a0and Matterport digital twins on a recent project to build model houses. Travel time to the sites was cut by 50 percent, netting considerable cost savings.<\/p>\n

Another joint project is a large-scale hospital modernization in\u00a0Tokyo\u00a0that involves capturing digital twins for each floor every month. Project team members integrate data from sensors within the hospital into the Matterport digital twins to get real-time daily updates on the project site without needing to take more captures.<\/p>\n

With a construction management platform like SIMLAB Stages, digital twins can be overlaid with BIM and engineering data to let hospital leadership view specific points before, during, and after the renovation without traveling to the site.<\/p>\n
