National Instruments offers Visual Builder for Automated Instruction (AI) for creating machine vision applications.
Matterport is very well suited for showing what a space looks like without having to have contractors, designers, or clients on-site multiple times. We have used Matterport to send out existing and current information to help with bidding, design, and construction documentation. The Matterport app does not do as well on the outside of a building where there are not a lot of differences in-between scans. Matterport does work very well for interior spaces, homes, and businesses.

The perfect scenario is a production environment where items are passing in front of a camera on some type of conveyor system. Vision Builder AI can be set up to inspect those items and make decisions that can be handled down the line (rejection, sorting, etc.). It's great if you have an isolated vision system as part of a larger system that needs to just pass on results. It's not as well suited if you need that code tightly coupled with other code, such as vision-guided robotics.

The Matterport Capture app has some bugs and issues where some scans don't align well and additional time is needed re-scan in the same location multiple times.

We have looked at other, "Matterport like" products. One of the greatest advantages Matterport has over the other products we have reviewed is the ability to automatically create 3d walkthroughs and host the walkthroughs where we need them. Many of the "Matterport like" apps focus on Showing existing homes and spaces. We have used Matterport for this purpose but our primary use is to show the process of a construction project from the beginning, throughout, and to the finished product.

It all comes down to tradeoffs. Do you want something that is extremely flexible and full-featured or do you want something that is easy and fast to use? Sure there are things that you can't do in Vision Builder AI that you can implement in LabVIEW, however, the vast majority of the applications that we work on do not need that extra functionality so Vision Builder AI is the best choice for us. If we find out along the way that Vision Builder AI is not going to work for us at least we have all of the steps and parameters figured out that we can use when moving to LabVIEW.
