Abstract
Some embodiments provide a mobile device configured to guide a user, via an augmented reality (AR) interface generated by the mobile device, to capture images of the physical object using a camera of the mobile device. The mobile device may be configured to obtain boundary information indicative of a boundary enclosing the physical object (e.g., a box enclosing the physical object). The mobile device may be configured to use the boundary information to determine positions from which the user is to capture images of the physical object. The mobile device may be configured to guide the user to capture the images using the AR interface by guiding the user to each of the positions in the AR interface (e.g., by generating on or more GUI elements in the AR interface that indicate a position from which the user is to capture an image).
