Abstract

A system and method for providing feedback on a quality of a 3D scan is provided. The system includes a coordinate scanner configured to optically measure and determine a plurality of three-dimensional coordinates to a plurality of locations on at least one surface in the environment, the coordinate scanner being configured to move through the environment while acquiring the plurality of three-dimensional coordinates. A display having a graphical user interface. One or more processors are provided that are configured to determine a quality attribute of a process of measuring the plurality of three-dimensional coordinates based at least in part on the movement of the coordinate scanner in the environment and display a graphical quality indicator on the graphical user interface based at least in part on the quality attribute, the quality indicator is a graphical element having at least one movable element.
