A method for interacting with a user to create a three-dimensional (3D) model is provided. The method may include causing a capture device to start a first scan on a reference surface; instructing the user to make a first movement during the first scan; generating a 3D data representation of the reference surface based on data acquired in the first scan; displaying the 3D data representation on the GUI; causing the capture device to start a second scan on the reference surface; instruct the user to make a second movement during the second scan; generating a location tracking data representation of the reference surface based on data acquired in the second scan; displaying the location tracking data representation on the GUI; and causing the capture device to generate a 3D model of the reference surface based on the 3D data representation and the location tracking data representation.
