Using SIM-ON is simple. It all starts with capturing a space for your project with a phone or a dedicated scanner. After creating an account and linking your project you can add the IoT devices and start using the full functionality of SIM-ON.

Don't have a scan? Contact **Matterport Service Provider** or scan the space yourself with your phone and a dedicated app:
