This is a 3D LiDAR 360 Camera featuring a
Micro 4/3 image sensor with 134MP. It can capture stunning 16K 360 photo and
3D Dollhouse like this in less than a minute. Then, it can generate a detailed 2D floor
plan with less than 20 millimeters measuring error. It can even use AI to Renovate empty space
in a matter of seconds, with no extra cost - compared to the expensive Matterport. Today, we are going to dive deep into an All-in-one
virtual tour platform. This is not a clickbait title. What I am going to show you will give you
a competitive edge in the professional virtual tour industry that you have not seen anywhere
else. If you are unsatisfied with the limited image
quality and editing ability of the Matterport Pro 3, or you are so sick of stitching your
own photos shot on a DSLR rig with PTGui and don't want to spend months to build a virtual
tour in 3DVista without even 3D dollhouse, this is the video for you. This video is for Virtual Tour professionals
who want to make money, if you are serious about giving the best products to your clients,
let's grab a cup of coffee or tea, and join me in this in-depth review. Hey, what's up, everybody! It is your boi Hugh and your dog Kimchi. we are finally back on another Virtual
Tour tutorial. Don't forget to hit the like button so Kimchi
get a FREE snack. We are discussing a new player in the Virtual
Tour industry - the Realsee. But before I tell you realsee, you need to
know the benefit of Matterport. The reason why you want to upgrade to Matterport
from all the other Virtual Tour Platforms, besides its "build it for you features," it
is the 3D dollhouse, the live measurement, and the floor plan. Well, Realsee can do all that. I actually kinda trick you there. What I just showed you is not Matterport,
it is all created in Realsee. The setup is super easy, and everything can
be done on your phone - no computer, stitching, photo editing, or 3D tour building is necessary. You can use your phone as a camera, or 360
cameras like Insta360 or Ricoh Theta. But the easiest workflow and the best result
is to use the official camera - the Galois M2 Galois is a 3D LiDAR Camera, and the only
other 3D LiDAR Camera in the market is the famous Matterport Pro 3. Let's make a spec comparison:
Galois won a reddot design award in 2021, before Matterport Pro 3 launched their similar
LiDAR design. The dollhouse created by Galois M2, is as
good and as detailed as Matterport. And it can be used outdoors and scan large
spaces fast. Just to point out, you can NOT scan outdoors
with Matterport Pro 2. And if you use Polycam, well it might take
a day for a single scan. This is a matter of seconds. In raw image resolution, Both capture 16K
360 pano in 134MP. But, there is a huge difference in sensor
size. Matterport Pro 3 is only a 1-inch sensor - just
like the Insta360 One RS 1-inch 360. Galois is the first 3D LiDAR Camera to employ
a Micro 4/3 sensor. So the image quality is better - reaching
professional DSLR quality. Matterport camera only allows you to download
4K (4,096 x 2,048) less than 4MB highly compressed JPG. Basically useless if you want to host your
360 photo somewhere else, like your Facebook page for promotional purposes. Realsee allows you to download full 16K (16000
x 8000) 360 pano and don't care how you use that 360 photo. So if you decide to use KRPano or 3DVista
b/c you want to create your own tour instead of asking AI to do it for you, you can. Galois will just be your highend 360 camera. Matterport is all about control, a very monopoly
mind-set of approaching the Virtual Tour industry. Realsee does not care what you do with your
photo. You own the photo you capture, and you don't
have to use their platform to create 3D tour. Altho, Realsee virtual tour platform is amazing. More on that later. Matterport Pro 3 still has THREE advantages
tho. Its vertical field of view is 295 degrees. Meaning the camera will capture the top part
of the sphere - the ceiling. Galois M2 only captures 150 degrees - significantly
smaller than 360 camera. Here is the capture result. You see, the ceiling and the tripod is missing. Realsee Virtual Tour platform actually does
not allow you to fully look up or look down in 360. Well, I don't agree with that. What do you think? Comment below. The second advantage is HDR bracket number. Galois only capture 3 exposure bracket while
Matterport Pro 3 capture 5 - 2 more stop of dynamic range. This help in challenging lighting situation. But, Galois does has a more natural-looking
image rather than an HDR look in Matterprot, using their big image sensor instead of smart
HDR merging. The third advantage is capture speed. Pro 3 takes around 20 seconds per capture
point while Galois take 25 second for a fast capture and 60 second for a slow capture. Slow capture mode is an interesting feature
that Pro 3 does not have. It allows the LiDAR to capture a more dense
point cloud, which is great for 3D reconstruction when you move the point cloud data to Blender
or other 3D software. Think about NeRF, and the latest 3D Gaussian
Splatting in the VFX world. This can be an advantage for Galois instead
of a disadvantage. B/c Matterport does not allow me to get the
original 16K 360 photo, it is hard for me to make a fair side-by-side comparison. So instead, I use my Insta360 One RS 1-inch
360 camera and my very high-end SONY Alpha 1 8K Mirrorless camera on a Nodal Ninjas robotic
head MECHA C2 to benchmark the image quality. The One RS 1-inch is a 1-inch sensor camera
like the Matterport Pro 3. It is a widely used Virtual Tour photo camera
b/c its price and portability. Both Matterport and Realsee Virtual Tour platforms
support the Insta360 camera natively. So if you don't want to buy the expensive
Pro 3 or the Galois, this camera or the Ricoh Theta Z1 is what I will recommand. My SONY takes 6 photos to stitch the full
pano, it reaches 14K resolution using PTGui Pro. This, or the Canon EOS R5, is what the professionals
are using for a very high-end virtual tour. Here is the comparison with their original
resolution. The Galois capture in 16K, bigger than both
the SONY and the Insta360. Why is resolution so important in 360 virtual
tour? Well, because all virtual tour platforms allow
you to zoom in for details. So let's zoom in. Now you see the 16K advantage. We can clearly read the Fujinon text on Galois,
and not readable on Insta360. SONY is not as clear as Galois. But SONY has less digital noise b/c its biger
sensor. Let's take a look at the outside of the house. Galois is sharp and clear with amazing image
quality. It also has decent dynamic range even only
using 3 bracketed HDR. One amazing advantage of Galois is actual
color representation. It virtually has no Chromatic Abbreviation
thanks to its very high-quality fisheye lens. Galois uses AI and LiDAR data to stitch the
360 photos instead of optical flow in Insta360 or template stitch in PTGui, which means it
has faultless results without any artifacts. Look at the stitch line area, Insta360 is
blurry and has optical flow artifacts. No matter how tight your capturing space or
how close objects are to the camera, Galois can stitch without any errors. At least I have not seen any. Here my bathroom is in a really tight space. Look around, the result is perfect. So if you are one of those photographers really
care about image quality but don't want to do manual stitching or control points stitching,
you will be satisfied with the image quality of Galois thanks to its Micro 4/3 image sensor
and power machine learning data. Galois is a fully automatic camera with auto
white balance and auto AI-powered exposure, HDR tone mapping, denoising, haze removal,
sharpening, and saturation adjustments. But not like Matterport, you can still add
your own signature touch to your final 360 photos. Right here in the web-base virtual tour platform,
you can add your own color grade using global spatial filter. You can make your whole theme brighter, warmer
or customize everything to create your signature style. The biggest advantage of Realsee Galois is
the price. Matterport Pro 3 costs $5995 USD, but just
the camera is useless. You need to pay for a hosting plan, and the
Professional Plan costs $660 for the cheapest annual subscription. So your starting price for the Pro 3 is $6655. Well, there is also a hidden cost most reviewers
don't tell you. The Schematic Floor Plans as you see here
is NOT included. It costs $15 to $30 per spaces. And this is a subscription model. You need to buy the plan again next year. Realsee is a very simple pricing structure. For $5499, you get the Galois camera with
professional image quality, a free high-quality carbon fiber tripod, and 1500 credits - it
is about 150 space hosting per year like the Professional plan in Matterport. It is not a subscription model. You pay as you go. If you did not use all your credit this year,
they roll over next year. If your business scales and you need more
credit, you can buy more anytime you want. Here is the price comparison. Right now, the $5499 promotional pricing also
includes Free Floor Plan Editor, Free 3D Live call, and Al Virtual Renovation. They are all cool features that Matterport
does not offer. Let's talk about it. Floor Plan editor allows you to edit the AI-generated
Floor Plan. You can create very detailed floor plan and
even put in furniture drawing on it. Great for home decoration. Matterport can do all that, but it costs extra. From $15 to $30 per floor plan, depending
on how soon you want it. 3D Live call is basically like the 3DVista
Live-Guided Tours. It is an essential feature for realtors to
live showcase the propriety to the potential customer, with the hope of closing the deal
on the call. Matterport can not do it without a third-party
app, which usually costs extra. Realsee comes with it as part of the core
interface. And it is free, at least for now. AI Virtual Renovation is something new that
I have not seen anywhere else. You can virtually decorate on many other Virtual
platforms nowadays, but not like Realsee. It uses the 3D LiDAR data to completely renovate
the space base on style you choose. And no interior designer knowledge is needed. It even supports NeRF like Luma AI! You can
scan furniture with your phone and place them in virtually in 3D. It is pretty insane how good the AI is. You need to try it yourself. All standard Virtual Tour feature you like
in 3DVista is built inside the Realsee console - you can insert text, image, audio, video,
and even e-commerce features into the space. One thing it is really cool is this screen
feature. It turns a static boring virtual tour into
a video virtual tour. As you see, I place a fake TV here, and it
shares in all spaces. It continues to play when I am moving around
in the space. It really feels like visually, the TV is there
in the physical 3D space. Very cool. All hotspots react to the depth and the 3D
shape of the space. They all look super real. How is the capture experience like? Well. It is a lot easier than using DSLR or even
the 360 camera. Everything is controlled on my phone. I don't need to hide. I can just follow the camera as long as I
am not in the way of the camera or the LiDAR. A 1000 square feet take me about 15 minutes. I will recommand scanning the 1st floor completely
first, including all the rooms and all the bathrooms. Then move up to 2rd floor. Don't forget to scan the stair to go up. Also, turn on all the lights in the room. Unlike Matterport Pro 3, Galoris handles household
light pretty well without HDR artifacts. For space that does not have light at all,
I like to bring my own COB light - like my new Ulanzi 40W Bi-color COB light here. It is super afforable, cost only $80 USD but
with over 95CRI. It is super small and compact, with battery
power. It comes with a mini softbox too. I like to turn the color temperature to a
warmer side to match the indoor lighting in around 3600 to 4000 Kelvin. The LiDAR reaches up to 25 meters outdoors. So you don't need too many points to scan
a large backyard like this. During scanning, your scan data is also uploading
onto Realsee Cloud in the background to save time. But in general, I suggest connecting to a
wifi hotspot after scanning to upload all your data. Then depending on how many scan points, it
will take AI from an hour up to 12 hours to process your data. Most of the time for simple houses, I can
show clients rough results the same day. Here you go, this is the final result without
any editing. Then you can go back to your studio, open
realsee console on a web browser, edit the floor plan and add hotspots. AI already did most of the work for you; all
you need to do is edit and make it better - like adding your agent information, and
phone number, uploading on to Google Maps, which is also built-in, and sharing the result
with MLS platforms like Zillow. Hit the publish button, your white label Virtual
Tour will be live on the Internet - no need to mess with Amazon hosting or server nightmare. It is as easy as Matterport powered by AI,
or as complicated as you want it to be like in 3DVista - this is totally up to you as
a creator. So, is Realsee the true Matterport Killer? What do you think after watching this review? Comment below. I will say at least Realsee is a good alternative
to Matterport. Before Realsee, no other virtual tour platform
even comes close. No service is perfect. When you switch floors back and forth during
capture, sometime the AI will get confused and be off alignment. With the 3D point cloud, it is actually very
easy manually realign. Just like what you see here. Besides continue training their AI to improve
accuracy on the 3D side of thing, Realsee also commits to support professional photographers. For example, 1 feedback I gave to them is
to allow us to download, edit the 16K pano in Photoshop, patch the missing top and bottom
with AI Generative Fill, improve the quality with AI like Topaz Photo or even Stable Diffusion,
and then allow us to reupload the 16K photo but keeping all the original LiDAR 3D data,
dollhouse, and 3D measuring. They say yes and it will be available in September. Matterport won't even allow you to touch their
Pro 3 photos. To keep this video fair all the links in this video is NOT affiliated link. I don't get a den from you if you choose Realsee
or not. They did send me the Galoris for testing and
cover some of my cost of producing this video. But they don't control what I say, and don't
get to see this video until it goes live. I am very excited to see new competition come
into the Virtual Tour market that heavily utilizes the latest AI tech and innovation. Competition is good for consumers like us
and the entire industry. I am still new to the realsee platform as
a 3DVista user. But I am planning to make more realsee tutorials
to help you get started, up your virtual tour game, and win high-end clients fast. If you are new here and want to master Virtual
Tour in a professional level, don't forget to subscribe and hit the bell. Watch this playlist for my 100% FREE virtual
