Abstract

A method of acquiring a set of images useable to 3D model a physical object includes imaging the physical object with a camera, and displaying with the camera a current view of the physical object as imaged by the camera from a current perspective. The method further includes displaying with the camera a visual cue overlaying the current view and indicating perspectives from which the physical object is to be imaged to acquire the set of images.
