In this episode of WGAN-TV Live at 5, Dan Smigrod sits visits with Jānis Beinerts, Senior Product Designer at Giraffe360, to explore the newly launched Giraffe PRO Camera and the upgraded Giraffe360 platform designed for real estate photographers.
The conversation opens with a deep dive into the complete suite of deliverables generated from a single property scan - property websites, AI-enhanced photos, 3D virtual tours, floor plans, and multiple video styles, and more - all produced automatically through the platform’s processing pipeline.
Jānis explains how the Giraffe PRO Camera was engineered not just as a piece of hardware but as part of a larger ecosystem where hardware, software, and automation converge.
He describes how the Giraffe PRO Camera and platform together enable photographers to deliver a multichannel marketing bundle that increases listing engagement, boosts time-on-page, and generates more leads for agents.
The discussion highlights Giraffe360’s data-supported claim that properties captured with the system sell up to seven days faster, with the new Giraffe PRO Camera expected to widen this advantage.
Dan and Jānis walk through a real example of a single property website generated automatically by the platform. Jānis explains how assets such as HDR photos, floor plans, and property metadata are captured, processed, and surfaced to buyers in a clean, structured layout.
Some data is pulled automatically - such as location and measured area - while other fields can be edited directly by the photographer or agent to fine-tune the listing.
The episode also tees up one of the most compelling features: Giraffe360’s ability to produce multiple styles of marketing videos without shooting any video at all, thanks to advanced AI reconstruction and creative automation. This expands what real estate photographers can offer without increasing onsite capture time.
Throughout the episode, Dan asks pointed questions that help real estate photographers understand not just the what but also the why: why multichannel marketing matters, why automation is essential for scaling, and why combining hardware, software, and AI is redefining real estate media production.

417. WGAN-TV | Edit, Deliver and Get Paid through Fotello: Enhanced Delivery and Payment Link with White Label Option

www.WGAN.info/fotello
In this episode of WGAN-TV, Dan Smigrod welcomes back Fotello Co-Founder Harman Walia to showcase Fotello’s newest enhancements that simplify how real estate media professionals edit, deliver, and get paid for their work. Harman explains how Fotello’s mission remains focused on helping photographers deliver their best work while saving money — a guiding principle for every product decision the company makes.
Key Highlights
1. Twilight Photo EditingHarman introduces the upgraded Twilight AI feature, which allows creators to convert daytime images into natural, realistic twilight scenes in just one click. The AI maintains architectural accuracy — nothing inside or outside the property is altered — ensuring ethical photo representation for real estate listings.
2. Unified Delivery PlatformFotello now enables users to deliver all digital assets—photos, videos, 3D tours, and floor plans—through one link. Real estate agents can preview, download, and even request revisions directly from the portal, reducing back-and-forth communication.
3. White-Label Sub-DomainFor professionals seeking a fully branded experience, Fotello offers a white-label sub-domain option that removes all Fotello branding from delivery pages and emails. This feature allows photographers to present the portal as their own—ideal for brand consistency and client trust.
4. Integrated PaymentsThe newly launched Fotello Payments integrates seamlessly with Stripe, allowing photographers to collect payments directly without additional Fotello transaction fees. Funds are deposited daily, and all payout data can be viewed and exported from a single dashboard.
5. Instant and Same-Day DeliveryHarman shares how some users have installed Starlink internet in their vehicles to enable instant delivery of photos right after shoots. This capability allows creators to offer same-day or even immediate turnaround—either as a premium service or as a competitive differentiator.
6. Onboarding and SupportFotello has streamlined its onboarding to remove previous friction points. New users can sign up directly via WGAN’s affiliate link for 25 free listings, with optional one-on-one support for setup, domain configuration, and client migration.

398. WGAN-TV-First Person Point of View (PoV) Giraffe360 GO Cam Warehouse Walkthrough and Final Giraffe360 Deliverable Review

In this WGAN-TV Podcast, guest host Tom Sparks, Founder and CEO of Scan Your Space (a Division of Sparks Media Group), field-tests the Giraffe360 GO Camera in a real-world warehouse environment — walking through the scanning process, testing still photos, and reviewing the final deliverables.Tom captures multiple scan points inside a large warehouse on Mare Island, California, using the Giraffe360 GO Camera. Scans take around 58 seconds each, and the camera’s SLAM-like behavior allows it to record measurement data while being carried — enabling floor plan generation with minimal scan points. Tom uploads the project to the cloud later that day and receives the completed 3D tour, floor plan, and still photo by the following morning.---The Giraffe360 GO Camera is designed for real estate agents who want an easy-to-use, all-in-one camera for creating professional-looking property tours without needing extra devices. In contrast, the Giraffe PRO Camera is built with the advanced features and control that real estate photographers expect — making it ideal for high-volume professionals seeking refined results and maximum image quality.---Tom's final verdict? The Giraffe360 GO delivers a fast, user-friendly workflow without needing a tablet or phone. He finds the 12MP still photo useable, the ANSI 765–compliant floor plan impressive, and the 3D tour polished. However, he suggests slower transitions and Ken Burns-style effects in the auto-generated video for better viewer experience.WGAN Special Offer:==========================================================================Two Giraffe360 Special Offers for WGAN CommunitySpecial Offer 1 - Giraffe360 Pro Camera (for real estate photographers):✓ Get early access to the new Giraffe PRO Camera - WGAN exclusive 60-day trial offer – just $123 per month - Be among the first to try the all-new Giraffe PRO Camera as it officially launches.

383. WGAN-TV: Matterport Pro3 Camera-Understanding the Three T-Mount Adapters

WGAN-TV: Matterport Pro3 Camera-Understanding the Three T-Mount AdaptersSummary for Matterport Service Providers Using a Pro3 CameraIn 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.

382. Matterport + SIMLAB STAGES + Procore for Construction Communication

Hi there, I am the digital twin of Dan Smigrod, Founder and Managing Editor of the We Get Around Network Forum and host of WGAN-TV Podcast.Procore plays a pivotal role in enhancing the functionality of Matterport digital twins -- integrated with SIMLAB STAGES -- by transforming construction coordination and communication with punch list items, for example, mapped exactly where they exist in a digital twin. Let's dive into one of the biggest challenges in construction management—coordination.Whether it's tracking issues or just keeping everyone on the same page, it's a lot. Now, imagine this: you've got your Procore data—Punch Items, RFIs, project documents — all embedded right in either a Matterport or a NavVis digital twin. That's exactly what SIMLAB STAGES does.Instead of jumping between platforms and scrolling through endless lists, you're seeing these issues in real time, within the actual space they affect. For instance, let's say there's a Punch Item tied to a specific room in a building. With SIMLAB STAGES, that item isn't just a line in a spreadsheet.It's mapped to its precise location, visually, in the Matterport (or NavVis) model. You click. You see instantly.You know what's going on without guessing or piecing it together manually. This kind of spatial understanding—it's huge. It takes something that could be abstract or buried in documents and makes it clear, tangible.And that's not all. Procore documents—images, reports, supporting files — are pulled straight into SIMLAB STAGES. No switching apps.No downloading or loading files. It's right there. This seamless integration doesn't just save time.It builds a much stronger connection between team members. When everyone's looking at the exact same data, at the same time, in the same context, decision-making becomes so much faster, and more reliable. There's less back and forth.Fewer errors. The whole workflow just clicks. And that's really the game-changer here.SIMLAB STAGES isn't just tacking on Procore. It's making it an intuitive, interactive part of the way you work. Now, let's talk about how this 3D digital twin visualization capability and real-time syncing actually redefine issue tracking.It's one thing to have a list of Punch Items or RFIs — great, a list—but it's another to see those listed items mapped exactly where they exist in a digital twin. That's what SIMLAB STAGES offers. It's issue tracking on Steroids.Think about this: instead of someone reading a description and guessing, "Okay, I think this issue is in the third-floor hallway, with SIMLAB STAGES, you're literally seeing it in a 3D space. The issue isn't hypothetical anymore. It's there — visually represented: down to its precise location.And that means less confusion, fewer follow-ups, and way more efficiency. What's even cooler? When you update something in SIMLAB STAGES—let's say you resolve an RFI or assign it: boom, it's automatically synced back into Procore.And it works the other way too. That's bi-directional syncing, and it's a game-changer. Everything stays aligned.No lag. No redundant updates. No manual cross-checking.The result? Real-time communication that pulls everyone — whether they're on-site or remote — onto the same page. Whether it's your subcontractors, your project managers, or your clients, everyone's collaborating off the same, up-to-the-minute info in the exact same context.It's real-time alignment at its best. And this visibility does more than just save time; it eliminates the missteps that happen when teams are stuck trying to interpret disconnected data. You can make decisions faster because, well, everything you need is right there in front of you — clearly.No communication gaps to slow things down. So, by embedding Procore's robust data into a Matterport or NavVis interactive 3D space, SIMLAB STAGES takes issue tracking from being reactive to being proactive — which is a seismic shift in how construction teams collaborate and deliver their projects. Now, let's dig into how centralizing project documentation in SIMLAB STAGES doesn't just make your life easier — it actually helps reduce errors in a big way.Here's the thing. When you've got everything — Punch Items, RFIs, documents — all mapped visually into a 3D environment, you're removing a ton of the guesswork. You're making sure everyone's on the same page, not just metaphorically but literally.It's there in front of them, tied to the exact location in the project to help avoid confusion. The impact of this? It's not theoretical.Construction teams can cut down rework by a massive percentage. Why? Because the documentation is accurate from the start.Punch Items are not sitting in some disconnected spreadsheet; they are right there in the Matterport digital twin or in a NavVis digital twin. So, there isn't a need for back-and-forth, trying to figure out, "Wait, which wall was this issue on, again?" By embedding this process into SIMLAB STAGES and syncing it with Procore, every move can be made with well-informed and spatially precise info. No double-checking, no fixing errors caused by miscommunication.You can just look, decide, and act—all in one sweep. That's powerful. And for today's construction teams, tools like SIMLAB STAGES are becoming less of a "nice-to-have" and more of a need.It's tackling inefficiencies that have been treated as just part of the business for far too long. Imagine what this kind of clarity and precision can do not just for one site but for an entire portfolio of projects. That's next-level construction management.So, see fewer errors, stronger collaboration, and a lot less stress for everyone involved. And to me, that's the real value here. It's taking something as complex as construction project management and making it not only simpler but smarter.And that's, well, a game-changer. On that note, we're gonna wrap it up.

The Future of 3D Spatial Innovation
Eric Marquette
Just looking at the lineup for 3DISE Conference 2025, it's like a who's who of the spatial tech world. I mean, over thirty top speakers, covering everything from digital twins to AI-powered photogrammetry? It's kind of mind-blowing.
Dan Smigrod
Absolutely. This is, without a doubt, one of the most intensive conferences for professionals in our field. Digital twins, for example, are going far beyond architecture now. They're being used in urban planning, industrial plants, even entertainment. It's—it's fascinating how the technology keeps expanding its reach.
Eric Marquette
Right. And I love the phrase 'information tsunami' they used to describe the event. Like, think about that session on "A.I. and Photogrammetry." That intersection is where things are getting super innovative.
Dan Smigrod
A.I.'s application to photogrammetry, it’s really remarkable. Just imagine the speed and detail improvement in processing 3D models. We're talking tasks that used to take days, or weeks, now done in hours. And these models aren’t just static—A.I. allows them to be predictive.
Eric Marquette
That's it. Predictive modeling! And, people always think of this stuff as being only for massive projects. But it’s trickling down. Even smaller firms can now afford—and actually benefit from—A.I.-powered tools.
Dan Smigrod
Exactly. And this leads us to the keynote on digital twins—another massive shift. What’s amazing about digital twins is their versatility. In factories, they simulate production; in retail, they’re creating virtual tours of spaces. It’s this blending of physical and digital worlds.
Eric Marquette
Like, how cool is that? You can take a space or system and make the virtual version so detailed that you’re basically predicting the future. I mean, airports, theme parks, entire cities—they’re building these twins and saying, "Here’s how we optimize this." It's wild stuff.
Dan Smigrod
This is shaping up to be one of the must-attend conferences of the year. From deep-dives like "Reality Capture and GIS" to big-picture panels about collaboration.
Eric Marquette
It's a glimpse into the future of how we design, create, and connect through 3D innovation.

In this episode of the WGAN Forum Podcast, host Eric Marquette and the digital twin of We Get Around Network Founder and Managing Editor Dan Smigrod take a deep dive into how the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) is leveraging cutting-edge technology, including 1,500+ Matterport scans, to enhance operations, sustainability, and efficiency. Recorded after Geo Week 2025 in Denver, this discussion explores how DFW is integrating digital twins, IoT sensors, and GIS mapping systems to streamline asset management and predictive maintenance.
Geo Week 2025: A Firsthand Perspective
Dan shares his experience at Geo Week, where three key sessions focused on DFW’s digital transformation. As the fifth busiest airport in the world, handling millions of passengers and nearly 2,000 aircraft daily, DFW has embraced advanced technologies to maintain and improve operational efficiency. Matterport scans play a critical role in documenting infrastructure, integrating with digital twin platforms, and enhancing data-driven decision-making.
Matterport's Role in DFW’s Digital Twin Ecosystem
The conversation highlights how Matterport is a cornerstone of DFW’s approach to creating dynamic digital twins. These scans help:
Document terminal spaces and key infrastructure
Enhance predictive maintenance for assets like passenger boarding bridges and HVAC systems
Provide technicians with unique URLs for scanned spaces, allowing direct visual access to rooms and assets
Integrate IoT sensor data for real-time monitoring
Dan speculates that DFW could potentially enhance these efforts by integrating SIMLAB SIM-ON, allowing Matterport scans to overlay additional datasets like BIM models, IoT sensor data, and maintenance records via IBM Maximo.
Operational Benefits and Predictive Maintenance
Matterport is revolutionizing asset management at DFW, eliminating the inefficiencies of traditional paper-based systems. The airport’s digital twin ecosystem allows teams to visually inspect assets before on-site visits, reducing downtime and ensuring maintenance teams are equipped with the right tools. By integrating predictive analytics, DFW can foresee potential failures in critical systems like HVACs and boarding bridges before they happen, optimizing resources and reducing costs.
Environmental Sustainability & Efficiency Gains
A standout segment focuses on how DFW is leveraging digital tools, including Matterport, to enhance sustainability:
Reducing aircraft fuel consumption: By optimizing gate docking procedures, ensuring proper ground connections, and minimizing auxiliary power use, American Airlines alone is projected to save up to $15 million annually in fuel costs.
Stormwater management: Matterport scans help track stormwater outflows, ensuring contaminant-free water sources and integrating real-time IoT monitoring to prevent environmental damage.
Optimizing landscape management: The scans provide a visual framework for monitoring airport surroundings, enabling proactive environmental protection.
Looking Ahead: The Future of Digital Twins at DFW
Dan and Eric discuss how DFW’s integration of Matterport, GIS, and predictive analytics sets a precedent for airports worldwide. With potential advancements like SIMLAB SIM-ON and wearable mobile mapping (NavVis VLX 3), DFW is pushing the boundaries of infrastructure management.
Final Thoughts & Call-to-Action

Summary by Google NotebookLM AIText discusses Zillow Group's acquisition of Virtual Staging AI (VSAI), a company specializing in AI-powered virtual staging technology for real estate listings.This technology allows real estate professionals to digitally stage listing images in seconds, eliminating the need for physical furniture and decor. The acquisition is part of Zillow's commitment to digitizing the real estate industry and enhancing the listing experience for buyers. VSAI's technology will be integrated into Zillow Showcase, creating a more immersive experience for potential homebuyers.=============Zillow Group Acquires Virtual Staging AI (VSAI)[From the Zillow Group Website]Zillow Group acquires AI company offering virtual stagingThis technology, which helps real estate professionals create digitally staged listing images in seconds, is the latest way Zillow is elevating the listing experienceZillow Group has acquired Virtual Staging AI (VSAI), a company whose technology helps home sellers, agents and photographers create digitally staged listing images without the need for physical furniture and decor. The acquisition closed Oct. 7, 2024, and the VSAI teams are beginning to integrate into Zillow.We’re excited to bring this technology to real estate professionals as part of Zillow’s broad suite of software and advertising solutions. VSAI offers the next generation of listing innovation to elevate the listing experience on Zillow for home shoppers. Their AI-powered virtual staging technology generates listing photos that are nearly indistinguishable from traditionally staged listings.Real estate professionals can easily upload room photos, select a room type and furniture style, and create high-quality, fully staged images almost instantly with the click of a button, thanks to VSAI’s cutting-edge, interactive technology. Being able to stage spaces and edit the images within seconds eliminates wait time and back-and-forth to implement changes.The acquisition of VSAI underscores Zillow’s commitment to enabling the real estate industry to become more digital, integrated and productive. By leveraging Zillow’s tech, AI and product expertise, real estate professionals can focus on serving their clients with the high-value, person-to-person work that makes a customer experience exceptional.Zillow’s research shows home sellers consider interactive media when preparing to list their home. For example, 71% of sellers say they’re more likely to hire an agent who includes virtual tours and/or interactive floor plans in their services, according to Zillow’s 2024 Consumer Housing Trends Report. Virtual staging gives sellers another interactive media option to enhance their listing.Virtual staging is currently available to real estate professionals through VSAI’s website, and we look forward to offering this tech to agents and photographers through Zillow’s product suite in the near future.VSAI was co-founded in 2023 by Michael Bonacina and Mikhail Andreev. They began working on this technology at Harvard Innovation Labs as students while researching AI and image processing. Most of the VSAI team is based in Munich, and as part of the acquisition, they have joined Zillow’s AI and tech teams to continue developing this virtual staging technology.We’re working to integrate VSAI’s technology into Zillow Showcase, creating an even more immersive listing experience to help clients sell their homes by giving buyers the most realistic, accurate sense of a home before they step inside. Zillow Showcase drives powerful results for agents and sellers — listings using Showcase sell faster and for more money.Zillow is leading the digital transformation of real estate, and we’re excited that the VSAI team and their impressive technology will now be part of this effort.---Source: Zillow Group

The organization serves as your workspace, where all your projects are stored, and licenses are tied to the organization. Therefore, it’s a crucial part of the environment setup."✓ Feature 2: Creating a Project"After setting up the organization, the next step is creating a project. Each project can include various components, such as scans, notes, and other materials. I’ll show you how to create a new project step by step."✓ Feature 3: Adding Components (Matterport Scans) to a Project"Once the project is created, the next step is adding components, such as scans. This is a fundamental part of building a project in Stages, so it’s essential to know how to do it correctly."✓ Feature 4: Matterport Scan Synchronization"Scan synchronization is a critical process. In this step, it’s important to define the synchronization points in locations that are as far apart as possible and, if possible, at different heights. The first scan should be manually marked as synchronized, creating what we call a 'reference scan.' You can verify the synchronization quality using the split screen tool, and if necessary, remove and repeat the synchronization."✓ Feature 5: Adding Notes"You can add notes to each project, which allows for better documentation and team collaboration. Now, I’ll show you how to do that."✓ Feature 6: Attaching Materials to Notes"You can enhance your notes by attaching additional materials, such as images or files. This is a very useful feature that provides more information in your notes."✓ Feature 7: Sharing Projects"Lastly, we’ll cover how to share projects. You can invite other users to collaborate, assign them roles, and manage access. I’ll show you how to send invitations and manage roles within the project."Robert will also show additional features and tips and tricks:✓ Feature 8: Generating Reports"In Stages, you can generate detailed reports from each project. It’s a quick and easy way to present the results of your work."✓ Feature 9: Generating Public Links"If you need to share a project with external stakeholders, you can generate a public link. This is especially useful when you need to quickly share your project."✓ Feature 10: System Preferences"Lastly, I’ll show you how to customize the system preferences. You can change the appearance of the timeline, switch between light and dark themes, adjust the units of measurement, and modify the date format."
