The present disclosure provides a method for creating a 3D model of a reference surface. The method includes capturing, using a capture device, a plurality of data points on the reference surface, determining a position and an orientation of the capture device related to the capture of the plurality of data points, creating a 3D data representation of the reference surface based on the plurality of data points, creating a location tracking data representation of the reference surface based the plurality of data points on the reference surface and the position and the orientation of the capture device, and creating the 3D model of the reference surface based on the 3D data representation and the location tracking data representation of the reference surface.

3D models for augmented reality (AR)

A method for interacting with a user to create a three-dimensional (3D) model is provided. The method may include causing a capture device to start a first scan on a reference surface; instructing the user to make a first movement during the first scan; generating a 3D data representation of the reference surface based on data acquired in the first scan; displaying the 3D data representation on the GUI; causing the capture device to start a second scan on the reference surface; instruct the user to make a second movement during the second scan; generating a location tracking data representation of the reference surface based on data acquired in the second scan; displaying the location tracking data representation on the GUI; and causing the capture device to generate a 3D model of the reference surface based on the 3D data representation and the location tracking data representation.
