Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for assisting a user in performing a three dimensional scan of an object. An example user device to assist with scanning may include a processor. The user device may further include a scanner coupled to the processor and configured to perform a three dimensional scan of an object. The user device may also include a display to display a graphical user interface, wherein the display is coupled to the processor. The user device may further include a memory coupled to the processor and the display, the memory including one or more instructions that when executed by the processor cause the graphical user interface to display a target marker for a three dimensional (3D) scan and display a scanner position marker to assist in moving the scanner to a preferred location and direction.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for providing dynamically positioned UI controls are disclosed. In one aspect, the method comprises performing a calibration a client device to facilitate ergonomic placement of at least one control element associated with a virtual control on the display. Calibration comprises prompting a user to grip the device in a first orientation. Then one or more grip locations at which the device is being gripped while in the first orientation are detected. The calibration also comprises prompting the user to touch a region of the display while maintaining the orientation and the grip. A touch input is detected within the display region subsequent to the prompting. Then, subsequent to the calibration, the at least one control element can be displayed on the display based on the calibration.
