Strategic Goal:

Providing a digital infrastructure for remote site-planning, stakeholder coordination, and global marketing for international event organizers.

1. The Challenge: Engineering-Grade Accuracy at Scale

International developers and public institutions require flawless visual verification to market and manage large-scale commercial assets. The Kobe Convention Center is one of Japan’s premier MICE venues, and the primary challenge of this project was its massive scale: 28,000 square meters spread across multiple distinct buildings. The client required a “true-to-life” virtual environment that was accurate enough for global event organizers to measure floor space for booth layouts while remaining lightweight enough for seamless web access. This required an enterprise-level approach to Matterport 3D scanning services.

2. The Meidansha Solution: High-Fidelity Data Extraction

We deployed a sophisticated multi-sensor workflow to ensure the project was completed with millimetric precision and zero operational downtime for the venue:

Matterport 3D Scanning Precision Engineering:

To handle the vast exhibition halls without data degradation, we utilized high-resolution imagery from the Matterport Pro series fused with a Leica BLK360 laser scanner (accurate to within 6mm per 10m) for the geometric backbone. This hybrid strategy delivered an immersive visual experience that was both beautiful and completely measurable.

Matterport 3D Scanning Advanced Project Management:

We optimized a 35-day projected timeline down to just 30 days. By developing a custom multi-operator workflow using real-time synchronization, our team scanned the vast halls like a puzzle, ensuring seamless data alignment across thousands of independent scan points.

Custom Interactive Overlays:

Beyond the standard 3D model, we integrated an advanced navigation layer using MPEmbed and 3DVista. This included embedding high-resolution 360° panoramas of service entrances and logistics hubs directly into the space, allowing international event organizers to plan complex load-in and load-out procedures remotely.

Data Integrity & Privacy Compliance:

Working with a major public institution meant adhering to strict security protocols. Meidansha ensured that all spatial data was processed, blurred, and delivered with high-level privacy compliance—a strict security standard we bring to all our luxury hotel and Integrated Resort (IR) clients.

3. Client Feedback

“Thanks to Meidansha, our Matterport implementation has received highly positive feedback from users since day one. We are seeing a significant impact, particularly in reducing the need for repeated on-site venue viewings and drastically streamlining the workload for our front-line staff.”

4. Why Meidansha?

As Japan expands its MICE infrastructure and prepares for massive upcoming commercial projects like the Osaka Integrated Resort (IR), Meidansha serves as the leading English-fluent technical partner for tier-1 developers.

Unmatched Scale Capability:

Whether documenting a boutique resort or a 30,000 m² convention hub, Meidansha maintains the hardware fleet (Matterport Pro3 / Leica) and the field expertise to execute massive spatial captures ahead of schedule.

Global Brand Experience:

Our corporate portfolio includes top-tier hospitality and public sectors, ranging from municipal convention centers to luxury brands like Waldorf Astoria Osaka, Hyatt, and Rosewood. We understand the high-fidelity expectations of international corporate boards.

Bilingual Technical Leadership:

We completely eliminate the “language barrier” risk in Japanese construction and asset management. From the initial RFP documentation to the final technical data hand-off, all project management and communications are delivered in fluent English.
