Abstract
Some examples of the disclosure are directed to object manipulators and associated processes for manipulating an object representation in a three-dimensional environment. The object representation may correspond to a scan of a real-world object in a real-world environment. The object manipulators may include an object cleanup manipulator and a text annotation manipulator. The object cleanup manipulator may be selectable to display one or more control affordances providing functionality for selectively removing portions of the object representation in the three-dimensional environment and/or selectively adjusting one or more parameters of the object representation in the three-dimensional environment. The text annotation manipulator may be selectable to display one or more control affordances providing functionality for selectively generating one or more text labels in the three-dimensional environment. The one or more text labels may be associated with the object representation in the three-dimensional environment.
