Ben Claremont has done a lot of reviews of 3D virtual tour software, see https://youtu.be/uKkQQ0aHRSc

Ben’s reviews are the best I’ve seen, but he is far from the only reviewer in this space.

Unfortunately, most of the software in this space does not actually generate a floor plan, even if they do create a 3D model of the space (like Matterport). There is one program he highlighted which is bundled with a service from the company that you can use to process your pictures and generate a floor plan among other things, but some of that work is still done by human beings.

I’m still looking for a good consumer grade program that can do photogrammetry of a space and turn that into a floor plan. I’ve seen attempts to do this with phones and cameras, and the LIDAR scanner that Apple has recently introduced has improved the situation, but IMO it is still not there yet.

But please correct me if I’m wrong. I would love to be wrong.
