Opportunity
Matterport needed an immersive and engaging platform to showcase spaces captured using their cutting-edge technology. Traditional listing platforms lacked the ability to provide a truly interactive experience for potential buyers or renters. Matterport Discover aimed to fill this gap by offering a 3D gallery website that not only displayed properties but also allowed users to explore them as if they were physically present, revolutionizing the way real estate is showcased online.
Research
Extensive market research was conducted to understand the pain points of our customers — specifically our Photographer vertical, who depend on word of mouth to drive new business. Surveys, interviews, and user testing were employed to gather insights into user preferences, behaviors, and expectations when browsing property listings online. This research revealed a strong demand for a hub. One that could provide a better sense of the breadth of what Matterport technology could capture. Chief among these desires, our customers wanted to use this site to inspire and generate business leads.
Ideation
During the ideation phase, the team brainstormed various features and design concepts that could enhance the user experience on Matterport Discover. Key considerations included ease of navigation, intuitive controls for exploring properties, compatibility across devices, and integration with Matterport's existing technology stack. Sketches, wireframes, and mockups were iterated upon to ensure the final design would effectively address user needs and align with Matterport's brand identity.
Execution
With a clear understanding of the opportunity, informed by thorough research and guided by innovative ideation, the team proceeded to execute the development of Matterport Discover. Leveraging the latest web technologies and best practices in user experience design, the platform was built to seamlessly integrate with Matterport's 3D scanning technology while providing a smooth and intuitive browsing experience for users.
We conducted iterative testing and feedback loops along the way, to ensure that the final product met the high standards expected of Matterport's solutions. This proved critical in helping us avoid costly missteps and build a product our customers were excited to use.
Results
Since its launch, Matterport Discover has garnered widespread acclaim from from our customers and our customer's customer. The platform has significantly increased engagement with property listings, leading to higher SaaS conversion rates and faster sales cycles.
