The Conversation
In this conversation, we get into the technology at Matterport and how Japjit and his team are leveraging machine learning to deliver greater insights with less data, essentially enabling you to “teleport” into a space.
But their vision is to do more than capture physical spaces. Matterport's Cortex AI and deep learning algorithms leverages the data to bring an unparalleled index of millions of spaces and new insights into the operational efficiency of buildings around the world.
We talk about the company, the technology, and the roadmap. And Japjit shares some great advice for building and maintaining strong engineering teams.
