Abstract
Examples are disclosed that relate to refining virtual mesh models through physical contacts. For example, a hand-mounted mobile device, such as a wearable glove, may be used to create and/or emphasize specific points within a virtual mesh model of a physical environment. An indication of physical contact of an interface of the mobile device with a physical object may be obtained via a touch sensor of the mobile device. A location and/or an orientation of the interface of the mobile device during the physical contact with the physical object may be identified based on sensor data obtained from one or more positioning sensors. Location data indicating the location may be stored in a data storage device from which the location data may be referenced. In an example, refinement of a virtual mesh model of a physical environment containing the physical object may be prioritized based on the location data.
