Abstract: A method of comparing measured three-dimensional (3D)measurement data to an object is provided. The method includes obtaining 3D coordinates on the object with a 3D measurement device to measure at least one dimensional characteristic. An AR marker is associated with the object. The AR marker is read with an AR-marker reader and, in response, transmitting the first collection of 3D coordinates and an electronic dimensional representation of the object to a computing device having a camera and a display. The camera is positioned to view an area and to generate a camera image of the area. The camera image is displayed on the integrated display. The at least one dimensional characteristic and the virtual object are displayed in the camera image on the integrated display.

Abstract: A method of comparing measured three-dimensional (3D) measurement data to an object is provided. The method includes the steps of providing a three dimensional measurement device configured to measure 3D coordinates of points on the object and a computing device having a camera and display. During an inspection process, the method measures the object with the 3D measurement device which provides a first collection of 3D coordinates. The first collection of 3D coordinates is stored on the computer network and is associated with an AR marker. During an observation process the method reads the AR marker and transmits from the computer network the first collection of 3D coordinates and a dimensional representation of the object to the computing device. A portion of the first collection of 3D coordinates is registered to the camera image. On the integrated display the registered collection of 3D coordinates and the camera image are shown.
