Impressive use of Matterport SDK and smooth web tour
From 3 comments
Definitely one of the better implementations I've seen using Matterport's SDK, nice work. Did you use the Pro3 as the capture device? Before the collapse anyway!
everly on HNThe transitions are much smoother than Google street view
downboots on HNVery well done! I was pleasantly surprised how well this works on a phone. Did you take any scans after sections collapsed? Would love to hear more about what happened.

What software was used for reconstruction
From 1 comment
This is very cool! Can you share the technical background you've used for creating the 3D reconstruction? Like software packages, or algorithms used. Are we looking at the result…

Long-term digital preservation strategy
