Matterport stock surges over 6%

Matterport (MTTR.US) is a technology company dedicated to creating so-called digital equivalents, i.e. transferring real objects into virtual space. Last year, the company became one of the beneficiaries of the Metaverse trend and was mentioned among the key companies capable of creating virtual worlds. The company's technology makes it possible, among others, to:

• Uploading 3D photos to a special cloud, where their digital equivalents are created;
• Transferring one's own space into a virtual world; 
• Creating digital equivalents of commercial buildings such as stadiums or hotels;
• Virtual reproduction of aircraft designs and other technically advanced objects;
• Dedicated solutions for designers, constructors, engineers, artists and programmers.

The solutions proposed by Matterport are of interest to, among others, design offices, insurance companies (virtual damage models) or real estate salesmen who, thanks to the digital counterparts, can organise virtual tours of the offered properties serving more clients in a shorter time. According to the company's website, in 2021 Matterport doubled the number of subscribers and 54% increased the number of managed digital spaces. Subscription revenue for the company's offerings increased by 47%, and total revenue for the full year 2021 increased by almost 30% compared to 2020. A new service was introduced in the form of Matterport Axis for Android 3D on smartphones.

The company has also entered into partnerships with technology giants like Amazon (AMZN.US), for which it provides 'digital equivalents' as part of Amazon Web Services, or Adobe (ADBE.US) where it helps optimize the Revit platform. At the same time, the company has a chance in the future to become a beneficiary of the Web 3.0 technologies, provided that the Metaverse trend continues to expand dynamically.
