Abstract

Examples of providing feedback regarding a scan of a three-dimensional object are described. In one example, a method of computer modeling a three-dimensional object includes computer-tracking a three-dimensional pose of a scanning device relative to the three-dimensional object as the three-dimensional pose of the scanning devices changes to measure different contours of the three-dimensional object from different vantage points, and assessing a sufficiency of contour measurements from one or more of the different vantage points based on measurements received from the scanning device. The example method further includes providing haptic feedback, via a haptic output device, indicating the sufficiency of contour measurements corresponding to a current three-dimensional pose of the scanning device.
