Abstract

The present disclosure provides approaches to simulating depth of field. In some implementations, an optimal scan distance of a camera from a subject in a physical environment is determined for a scan of the subject by the camera. A blur level is iteratively updated to correspond to a proximity of the camera to the determined optimal scan distance as the proximity changes during the scan. For each update to the blur level from the iteratively updating, an image comprising a three-dimensional (3D) model of the physical environment depicted at the updated blur level is generated on a user device associated with the scan.
