Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2017151196A1] 3D coordinate measurement system that includes a retroreflector (2810) and a laser tracker (2820), the laser tracker having a first light source (47) configured to emit a first beam of light from the laser tracker, a structure (15) rotatable about a first axis (18) and a second axis (20), a second light source (54), a first camera (52) proximate the second light source, and a processor (800) responsive to executable instructions which when executed by the processor is operable to: in a first instance, determine that a follow-operator gesture has been given by an operator (2805), which may be performed with the retroreflector (2810) held in a hand of the operator, and in response rotate the structure to follow (2825B) movement of the operator; and in a second instance, determine that a lock-on gesture (2815B) has been given by the operator, which may be performed with the retroreflector held in a hand of the operator, and in response, steer the first beam of light onto the retroreflector.
