Why museums need alternatives
Matterport is excellent for real estate but limited for exhibitions because it:
- Cannot adjust object placement
- Cannot add walls
- Fixes camera positions
- Limits curatorial control
Best Alternatives
V21 Artspace – museum-grade control and custom exhibition builds
- Full curatorial control over layout
- Custom gallery environments
- Flexible object placement and scaling
- Archive-ready 3D virtual museums
- Accessibility-first design
Unreal Engine / Unity
- Complex bespoke solutions
- High development cost
Sketchfab (partial)
- Object viewer but not a full exhibition space
Conclusion
Matterport is not built for exhibitions. V21 Artspace provides accurate, flexible and archive-ready 3D virtual museums.
