Stay tuned. Hi All, I am the digital twin of Dan Smigrod, Founder of the We Get Around Network Forum. You're watching a special edition of the WGAN-TV Podcast for digital twin creators shaping the future of real estate today. We have a great "how to" episode for you! Our WGAN-TV Podcast guest is Tom Sparks, Founder and CEO of ScanYourSpace, a division of Sparks Media Group. To demo the Matterport Merge Tool, Tom uses scans from Oracle Park: the home of the San Francisco Giants. — Hey everybody, Tom Sparks with Sparks Media Group here. In this Matterport Merge Tool video, we're going to attempt to merge a bunch of scans I did a couple of years ago at Oracle Park in San Francisco. I was hired to scan the stadium—or at least portions of it—for a client. At the time, I presented them with a bunch of individual tour links, but now I'm going to try to combine all of these together. We'll start by selecting the tours we want to merge. I'm hoping there's enough overlap data to make this work. I have seven of them selected, totaling 745 scan points. The limit is 2,000 scan points, so we're well under. I'm not sure why I separated the tours originally, but I think it was because they didn't want to scan all the spaces in between. Let's try merging. The system is already doing a decent job. I can see an Oracle suite that's not aligned correctly, so I'll move that. The cove is in the wrong spot, so I'll move that too. The club level looks good, as does the deck, although I accidentally moved it and had to undo. This is a pretty big scan, so I'm going to try auto align. It only lets me align two models at a time. I try a couple of combinations, but the auto align isn't working well. I start referencing specific locations like the Alaska Airlines Loft and Oracle suite level to place things manually. The size of the project makes positioning tricky, and the auto align feature isn't finding enough common data. I decided to proceed with merging anyway. Since I'm out of available spaces on my account, I archive the originals to free up space, hoping the merge will still work. Some of my other scans are still pending because I've hit my space limit. If this merge works, I'll add more models to create one big tour. The merged tour comes back with 745 scan points, and it looks good overall. There are a few gaps because I couldn't scan certain parts of the field due to construction or because the client didn't need them. I start adding more tours, like the promenade patio and dugout box, aligning them manually when needed. The auto align works sometimes but fails other times, requiring fine-tuning. I continue with the Legends Club, Candlestick Club, and other spaces, snapping them into place when possible. My approach is to merge in stages—adding a few tours at a time, archiving them once merged, and repeating the process. I add Scoreboard Plaza and Suite 60, aligning them carefully. Once aligned, I merge the models and archive the originals. Within 24 hours, the new merge is ready with 804 scan points. The system shows the most recent three tours used for the merge but doesn't list all previous ones, which is fine. Matterport has a new logo that reminds me of a recycling symbol, though I'm not sure how I feel about it. Looking at the completed model, I still wish I'd been able to scan a few missing areas. The stadium had a hard stop time, and the client didn't require those spaces. At one point, the field crew asked me to leave because they hadn't been notified I'd be scanning that day. Despite these limitations, the merged tour covers a huge area. It wasn't for marketing, so I appear in several shots—sometimes intentionally, sometimes not—like a game of “Where's Waldo.” Matterport even blurred one shot where my face was visible. In this video, I've shown how I merged the majority of my scans from Oracle Park into one massive tour. — Thanks Tom. Got follow-up questions for Tom?

Indy Sen, ecosystem marketing lead at Canva, shares his journey through tech giants like Salesforce, Box, MuleSoft, Google, and now Canva, where he's applying his unique "messaging as an API" philosophy to build an ecosystem that serves as a powerful multiplier for the entire company.• Canva's mission of empowering the world to design has evolved from consumer beginnings to enterprise solutions• The ecosystem functions as a multiplier, helping source innovations from third-party developers and technology partners• Growth from zero to approximately 700 apps in just two years demonstrates the platform's appeal as a distribution mechanism• Design principles encourage developers to create experiences that can be completed in no more than five steps• The human connection will remain the ultimate competitive advantage even as AI transforms technology• Technical enablement must be paired with commercial enablement for ecosystem success• Creating psychological safety enables teams to work at their highest point of contribution• Zen leadership balances strategic thinking with empowering teams to navigate ambiguity• Building trust requires making decisions rather than prolonging indecision• Small acts of kindness cost nothing but are remembered far longer than professional achievementsWhat makes a technology ecosystem thrive in today's rapidly evolving landscape? For Indy Sen, the answer lies at the intersection of technical excellence and human connection.At the heart of his philosophy is what he calls "messaging as an API"—treating company messaging like clean, well-structured code that can be consistently deployed across an organization. This approach has proven incredibly effective in creating clarity around ecosystem value, both internally and externally. As Indy explains, "Ecosystem is a multiplier. It helps engender brand new innovations, source them from third-party innovators like developers and technology partners, and it's also a multiplier for the business."The conversation goes through practical go-to-market strategies, from Canva's developer experience principles to Indy's legendary "Cha-Ching" program at Salesforce that transformed how sales teams engaged with partners. We explore how modern platforms balance technical enablement (making APIs accessible) with commercial enablement (helping partners achieve business success), all while nurturing genuine human connections.Perhaps most compelling is Indy's perspective on leadership in the age of AI. His "Zen leadership" approach emphasizes psychological safety, decision-making amid ambiguity, and helping team members work at their "highest point of contribution." As he puts it, "Ambiguity is okay, indecision is not."Whether you're building a platform, leading a team, or simply interested in how technology ecosystems evolve, this conversation offers valuable insights into creating lasting value through human-centered innovation. Plus, don't miss Indy's surprisingly impressive performance in our Batman trivia challenge!Indy Sen: https://www.linkedin.com/in/indysen/Indy's Sen started on the ground floor of the Salesforce AppExchange.  From there, he helped Box take on SharePoint, led developer relations at MuleSoft, did a tour of duty at Google Workspace, and even helped WeWork completely overhaul their product marketing before helping Matterport go public.Website: https://www.position2.com/podcast/Rajiv Parikh: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rajivparikh/Sandeep Parikh: https://www.instagram.com/sandeepparikh/Email us with any feedback for the show: spark@postion2.com

WGAN-TV: Matterport Pro3 Camera-Understanding the Three T-Mount Adapters Summary for Matterport Service Providers Using a Pro3 Camera In this episode of the WGAN-TV Podcast, Matterport Pro3 expert Mike Vorce of MatterFix.io breaks down the key differences among the three known versions of the Matterport Pro3 T-Mount tripod adapters. He identifies two official versions—both with stainless steel pins—with the latest version distinguished by a flat section near the clasp. These are considered safe for regular use. However, Mike issues a strong warning about a third, unofficial version featuring a brass pin and internal screw prone to failure. This version, believed to be a beta unit that escaped destruction and is now circulating via sites like eBay, can jam inside the camera and potentially damage the mount or camera internals. Mike also provides practical guidance on identifying T-Mount issues in the field, including what to do if your mount is stuck or you encounter an “unstable” error during scanning. He explains how to assess mount tension, alignment, and grab-arm function, and even offers a basic adjustment tutorial using a T15 Torx tool. Importantly, he emphasizes proper seating of the mount to avoid scan errors or hardware damage. If problems persist, Mike recommends swapping out the T-Mount or tripod to isolate the issue—or reaching out to MatterFix.io for expert repair. For techs using or buying secondhand gear, this video is a must-watch to avoid costly downtime caused by a defective tripod adapter. --- Transcript available in the We Get Around Network Forum www.WeGetAroundNetworkForum.com

Podcast Notes: The Church Front Show - Streaming Showdowns, Volunteer Tech Culture, and Easter Hot Takes Episode Overview In this episode of The Church Front Show, hosts Jake Gosselin and Matt Woltjer discuss several important topics for church tech teams including streaming platform updates, volunteer management challenges, studio equipment upgrades, and Easter service preparation. They also share interesting tech spotlights and clarify Church Front's service offerings. Time Stamps & Key Points Introduction [00:02] Welcome to The Church Front Show with Jake Gosselin and Matt Woltjer Jake introduces himself as "low voltage specialist" while Matt jokes about being the "Stream Deck guy" Mention of Church Front's website and the new "Toolkit" featuring gear packages and bundles Streaming Showdown Follow-Up [01:27] Discussion of Resi's response to their previous streaming platform comparison video Key issues identified by Resi: Tests were conducted on outdated firmware missing critical improvements Resi Mini encoder was configured at a much higher bitrate (15 Mbps vs. 4 Mbps) Jake's acknowledgment: "We messed up. We mess up all the time. Don't take everything we said as the final truth." Explanation of philosophical differences between streaming platforms: BoxCast prioritizes near real-time delivery even with occasional quality reduction Resi prioritizes consistent video quality with accepted delays Matt explains the challenges of recording comparison videos: "We recorded this video three times... you have to basically stop what you're doing, congest your network or cut the cable..." Volunteer Tech Culture Discussion [11:34] Response to a social media post about a 26-year tech volunteer who was abruptly dismissed The volunteer had served for 26 years and was told by a new pastor (8 months at the church) they were "going in a different direction" with no further explanation Perspectives from both sides: Leadership should build relationships and provide clear communication about vision Volunteers should maintain open communication and approach changes with humility Matt's insight: "If you build good relationships with your people, hopefully it never comes to this type of a post... if you can do it through that element of respect and love and relationship, it's going to turn out way better." Studio Updates & Equipment [18:16] Current equipment upgrades: Shure SM7B microphones (not the DB version as intended) Yamaha DM3 mixer CRM 300 camera with a 500 model on the way NDI video integration with ECAMM Uline cafe table (72″ x 36″) Prime Acoustic wall panels Jake's appreciation for ECAMM: "ECAMM now in my opinion is a little bit underrated as a live stream solution for churches" Discussion of ProPresenter's limitation: lack of NDI HX output Church Front Growth [24:24] Announcement about company expansion Currently hiring for a Solutions Specialist role Future need for additional AV technicians for upcoming projects New warehouse space development Applications available through the Church Front website resources page Tech Spotlights [26:31] DIY Front of House Console Build: YouTube creator completely disassembled an Avantis console Integration with rack-mounted computers to create a 4-in-1 system Controls audio, ProPresenter, lighting, and video Matt's warning: "Don't do this until you've had your Avantis for at least two years and the warranty's no longer good." LED System Installation: Church in Nebraska with 6.5′ x 11.5′ LED screens Impressive architectural integration including sliding door to reveal screens Universal Audio Apollo Headphone Amp: Discussion of potential studio upgrade Cost-effective alternative using Dante feeds and Loop Back software SQ Mixer Firmware Update (v1.6.0.0): Matrix mixes can now be split (six mono matrices instead of three stereo) Both USB ports can record simultaneously Enhanced app control capabilities MAC compatibility for firmware updates Easter Tech Hot Takes [39:41] Matt's advice: "Don't be one of the churches that completely changes your DNA for the people that are going to come twice a year... you don't want them to be shocked by the difference between what you did for Easter and what you do the next weekend." Jake's warning: "Easter's not the time to try new tech!" Recommendation to plan major tech upgrades months in advance, not weeks before major services Jake: "If you are having to expend all of your creative brain power to put together a tech system that you didn't take the time to learn, test and use, and then your whole week is just consumed with stress... you quite frankly deserve that stress because you did not take the time to be responsible in planning." Matt's reminder: "Your job at that moment is to minister. Even if you're on sound, even if you're on video, your job is to minister, not worry about tech." Church Front Services Update [45:19] Church Front Premium: Training and personalized advice through group coaching Consultation on upcoming AV projects Equipment recommendations with Spencer, their lead design engineer Access to all Church Front courses Church Front Pro (formerly Church Front Accelerator): Comprehensive consulting, design, and AV integration On-site surveys and assessments, including Matterport scans Professional system design using Vectorworks Assembly, installation, commissioning, training, and support Equipment Mentioned Shure SM7B microphones Yamaha DM3 mixer CRM 300 and 500 cameras ECAMM live streaming solution Avantis audio console Universal Audio Apollo headphone amp Allen & Heath SQ mixer (firmware v1.6.0.0) Prime Acoustic panels Action Steps Check for firmware updates on your existing equipment Evaluate your volunteer relationships and communication strategies Plan any Easter tech upgrades well in advance Focus on ministry, not just technical excellence, during high-attendance services Visit churchfront.com to explore their Premium and Pro services Connect & Continue Visit the Church Front website resources page for job opportunities and more information about their toolkit of recommended gear packages Apply to Join Churchfront Premium Apply to Join Churchfront Pro Free Worship and Production Toolkit Shop Our Online Courses Join us at the Churchfront Conference Follow Churchfront on Instagram or TikTok: @churchfront Follow on Twitter: @realchurchfront Gear we use to make videos at Churchfront Musicbed SyncID: MB01VWQ69XRQNSN

Jessica Griggs, CEO and founder of LaRuche Photo, joins host Carol Morgan for this week's Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio episode. In this podcast segment, Griggs discusses her transition to real estate photography and shares a few tips and tricks. Starting in her early 20s, Griggs established a successful wedding and videography business that allowed her to cultivate her passion professionally. When life brought her to Georgia, she transitioned into real estate photography and created LaRuche Photo. The business started with just Griggs herself and now features a team of nine photographers. What does real estate photography encompass? LaRuche serves real estate professionals from many sectors, including Realtors, home builders, interior designers and stagers. Whether your home is a short-term rental, new build or for-sale property, Griggs and her team provide home shoppers with a personal look. While real estate makes up almost 70% of its clientele, LaRuche also offers other photography services such as headshots, event coverage and weddings. When it comes to selling a home, photography is a crucial step in the marketing plan. Photos communicate visually for homebuyers, but they must be combined with other promotional assets to ensure a successful marketing strategy. LaRuche offers a wide range of services, including videography, Matterport 3-D home tours, drones and more. “I've always said a photo speaks 100 words, and a video speaks 1,000 because we live in a world of social media,” said Griggs. “We live in a world of scrolling one video after the next. Depending on your audience, you may have an attention span of two minutes, or you may have an attention span of two seconds.” In the last few years, Matterport has blown up in the real estate business, but how does it benefit both buyers and sellers? Matterport allows home shoppers to take a virtual “tour” of a home, utilizing dozens of photos merged to create 3-D images. It is a great strategy for sellers because it can reach homebuyers across the country and is cheaper than videography. Griggs shared her thoughts on videography strategy as well, expressing the difference between trendy and successful. Businesses want “viral” videos, but that level of popularity is based on factors that can seem impossible to achieve. Things like numbers of posts per week, influencer appearances and other algorithm feeders can take your video over 10,000 views or just plateau at 1,000-2,0000 views. For most businesses, the strategy for success is simple: know your audience! Older generations love horizontal format and longer videos, while younger generations are all about the vertical format and shorter videos found on social media. “I think it really depends on the audience you're trying to appeal to,” said Griggs. “If your audience is all over the place, then it's best to do both vertical and horizontal, because you're getting that long format for social media platforms like YouTube and vertical format for somebody who sits on TikTok all day.” With AI and other virtual products entering the market, how does that affect LaRuche Photo and real estate marketing? Griggs believes human-to-human engagement is important for the industry. AI is beneficial for small touch-ups but can be noticeable on a larger scale. Griggs said, “At the end of the day, it's composition, it's talent, it's expertise, and it's a good eye.” Tune in to the full interview above to learn more about LaRuche Photo or visit www.LaRuchePhoto.com.

In this episode, we are discussing merger arbitrage opportunities, specifically on a stock that Sam & Derek personally own. We've been talking about Matterport since the metaverse series in 2021, and finally the stock had some life pumped back into it after a takeover offer from CoStar Group in April. Is this a good opportunity to jump in on the deal? We discuss with guest Collin Brantmeyer from the Motely Fool. Then Sam and Derek put in place plans on how they'll try and take advantage of this potential win from a stock that's been a major dog in the portfolio.
