3.2.1 Meissa Scan

✅ Meissa Scan is a 360 camera-based service that allows you to manage indoor spaces on Meissa, in addition to the 2D maps and 3D models provided by the existing drone footage-based Platform service.

Why is Meissa Scan needed?

- It easily converts the front/back file (.insv extension / 2 results) format, which is difficult to use, into a format that is easy for anyone to use (.mp4 extension / 1 result).

- Data can be easily acquired in video form, which is difficult for photographers to collect.

- You can manage the shooting and upload to Meissa Platform wirelessly.
