We recently joined the AWS Activate program.

It’s a very practical move for our team. Since Matterport runs its infrastructure on AWS, building our custom backend in the exact same ecosystem just makes sense. It significantly cuts down the lag when we're pulling heavy 3D models and spatial data through their API.

We're funneling all these cloud credits straight into our R&D wing, Adostrophe Labs. It gives us a secure sandbox to run heavy machine learning tests and build out our non-profit spatial apps, Finostrophe and Ecostrophe, without eating into our regular operating budget.

Getting these 3D environments to run smoothly on everyday devices takes a lot of custom coding, and AWS gives us the raw compute power we need to stress-test it all.

Field Report: 3D Spatial Documentation at Radisson Blu Resort Phu Quoc, Vietnam

We recently completed the spatial mapping of renovated villas and facilities at the Radisson Blu Resort in Phu Quoc. Documenting an active 5-star property requires precise scheduling to ensure guest privacy and clean data.

For this project, we operated in a tight pre-dawn window to capture high-traffic areas like the public pools and exterior pathways before the morning rush. The technical brief also covers our hardware choice—the Matterport Pro2—to maintain brand compliance, and why we avoid third-party overlays to keep tour loading times fast for mobile users.

Field Report: 3D Spatial Documentation in Heavy Manufacturing

Scanning a heavy manufacturing facility is fundamentally different from commercial real estate work. We’ve compiled our technical notes from recent documentation projects at JK Tyre plants in Gwalior and Chennai.

The report details the process of mapping active industrial environments, navigating around moving machinery like Tyre Building Machines (TBM), and managing equipment performance in high-thermal zones near vulcanization. These 3D models serve as a spatial baseline for remote facility management and IoT integration.

Recent field work: 3D spatial documentation at the Radisson Blu Hotel, Dubai Deira Creek.

The project scope covered the property’s commercial spaces, ballrooms, and 15 dining outlets for integration into Google Street View. To accommodate active hotel operations, the scanning sequence was adjusted around daily schedules, including early-morning capture of the wellness facilities and routing around event load-ins.

Adostrophe is currently operating across the Middle East with a zero-cost travel policy for enterprise scanning.

The inevitable Chennai for industrial scanning:

Adostrophe is on-site at JK Tyre, digitizing one of India’s premier manufacturing hubs. While our Matterport scanner captures the facility’s layout, the machines in the frame are performing the heavy lifting of tire production.

The Extruder: Precision Shaping -

The 250mm TBR (Truck & Bus Radial) Extruder (seen in the first image) is the starting point. It functions like a high-powered industrial press, utilizing a massive internal screw to heat and soften raw rubber compounds. This softened rubber is forced through a precision die to create continuous, contoured strips. This process determines the “profile” of the tire—shaping the very tread and sidewalls that eventually meet the road.

The Curing Press: The Final Transformation -

The second image captures the central aisle of Curing Presses. This is where a “Green Tire”—a smooth, uncured rubber cylinder—undergoes its final metamorphosis.
Inside these presses, high-pressure steam inflates an internal bladder, pushing the soft rubber against a metal mold. At temperatures near 170°C, a chemical reaction called vulcanization occurs. This “bakes” the rubber, permanently bonding its molecules to transform it from a pliable material into a durable, elastic tire stamped with its final tread pattern.

The experience -

In an environment of massive industrial scale, our rotating scanner drew plenty of attention. Technicians frequently stopped to ask about the device’s purpose. Upon learning it was creating a millimeter-accurate “Digital Twin” of their plant, the questions shifted from technical curiosity to a lighter note: “Can it take our photo too?” In a world of high-tech automation, human curiosity remains the driving force behind the innovation.

Adostrophe completes eight years of operations and enters its ninth with a comprehensive expansion of its service accessibility.

The agency announces the immediate implementation of a Zero Travel Cost policy for Matterport 3D scanning and Google Street View projects. This policy is absolute: it covers Tier-1 metros, Tier-2 cities, and extends fully to rural areas.

Previously, securing high-end structured-light scanning in rural India incurred heavy logistical premiums. Adostrophe has removed this variable.

Facilities in remote locations now have access to the same 135-megapixel digital twins and schematic accuracy as those in central business districts, at the exact same base rate.

Marking its 9th anniversary, Adostrophe eliminates logistics fees to democratize access to high-fidelity Digital Twins across India.
