Mixing real and virtual components into one consistent environment often involves creating geometry models of physical objects. Traditional approaches include manual modeling by 3D artists or use of dedicated devices. Both approaches require special skills or special hardware and may be costly. When quality of visualization of scanned objects is not required or is of low priority fast semi-automatic 3D geometry acquisition can be achived, based upon unconventional use of motion tracking equipment.
