Abstract
The invention relates to an articulated arm coordinate measurement machine for a measurement of geometrical features of an object, comprising a stationed end of the articulated arm, opposed to a movable end of the articulated arm being manually movable by a human operator. A measurement probe head is attachable to the movable end. It also comprises a graphical display unit located at the movable end of the articulated arm, in particular in vicinity of the probe head, in such a way that information provided by the display unit is visible for the operator during measurement. The display unit is built to provide an artificial view, which is graphically representing at least part of the object, in particular with respect to a point of view from or nearby the movable end of the arm so that the artificial view is similar to the operator's natural view of the object.
