If you look at a GeoCV created 3D Tour, on first glance, you might be thinking that you are looking at a Matterport Spaces 3D Tour:

✓ Dollhouse View

✓ Floor Plan View (with measurements)

✓ Walk Around View

✓ Photos

✓ Floor Plans

And, this tour was shot using an (extra smart) 3D-enabled smartphone.

On WGAN-TV Live at 5 (5 pm EST GMT -5) on Wednesday, 17 January 2018, CEO and Co-Founder @AntonYakubenko, PhD will demo and discuss GeoCV; including Matterport Versus GeoCV.

You can Join the Virtual Studio Audience to ask Anton questions directly.

Anton is one of the speakers at Inman Connect NYC 2018 (22-26 January 2018). He is on a panel: Visual Revolution: Breakthroughs in Virtual Reality 3D and Video. [Matterport CEO Bill Brown is on the same panel.)

I could imagine that Anton might give us a sneak peak of what he will announce at Inman Connect. 

So, why have you not heard about GeoCV? They have been focused on New York City while they have been refining their technology, value-proposition and marketing strategy. I could imagine that Inman Connect, Anton will announce that GeoCV is now available across the United States (and potentially, around the globe).

Here are We Get Around Network Forum discussions tagged: GeoCV

Some additional backstory from Anton's LinkedIn Profile:

"GeoCV is a venture capital backed 3D capturing VR / AR company. Our vision is to enable everyone to capture the world in 3D with a phone and share it in virtual and augmented reality. We're currently using 3D camera-enabled Google Tango phones.

3D virtual tours for real estate is our beachhead market. We allow agents and brokerages differentiate themselves to win more listings and get more referrals, attract more qualified leads to their listings to sell faster spending less time on unpromising in-person showings. We've developed an advanced automated technology for providing unique 3D virtual tours, photography and floor plans at the highest quality and at an affordable price."

If you look at a GeoCV created 3D Tour, on first glance, you might think it is Matterport. It's a David versus Golith Story.

Hi All,

On WGAN-TV Live at 5 (5 pm ET | GMT -4) Monday, 13 November 2017 ...

WGAN-TV: Garmin Virt 360º Camera Demo and Discussion with 360º Camera Expert Kevin Kunze

About the Garmin Virt 360º Camera [$750 from Amazon)

Rugged, Waterproof 360-degree Camera with 5.7K/30fps Resolution and 4K Spherical Stabilization

✓ Resolution up to 5.7K/30fps with desktop stitching; 4K/30fps auto-stitched in the camera¹

✓ 4 built-in microphones capture 360-degree audio

✓ Spherical stabilization² ensures a smooth video regardless of camera movement

✓ Built-in sensors provide G-Metrix™ data overlays in 360-degree augmented reality³

✓ Easy-to-use, free VIRB® Mobile app and VIRB® Edit desktop software let you edit, stabilize, share and add data overlays to videos4

✓ Constantly record for more than 1 hour on 1 charge5 — without overheating

VIRB 360 is the first of its kind, capturing a complete sphere of high-resolution video and audio — even photos. It eliminates the lengthy editing process with unrivaled 1-click video stabilization up to 4K resolution at 30 fps and allows you to instantly livestream5 any adventure. 

Defining a New Standard for Full-sphere 360 Video and Audio Capture

If it’s worth remembering, it’s worth a VIRB 360. This rugged, waterproof camera is true to its name, recording the full 360 degrees — horizontally and vertically. And you can forget about timely post-production work, because VIRB 360 will auto-stitch¹ your 4K footage in camera. If you’re looking for higher resolution, you can record video in unstitched 5.7K resolution at 30fps, and stitch it together in VIRB Edit. Get even more control with different recording modes such as time lapse, manual, and the powerful new HyperFrame Director Mode, which gives you the editing power to easily reframe content after filming — using smooth camera pans, incredibly wide angles and even tiny planets.
