The latest optical measuring device is analyzed and evaluated on user trust, accuracy and ease-of-use. Found is that the process takes too much time and positioning on (curved) surfaces is too difficult. This results in a high threshold for usage. Next to that, the accuracy is perceived as low. During idea and concept development the focus was set on lowering the threshold for usage and increasing the accuracy. The proposed solution has three supporting legs, which are connected to each other and positioned in a triangle. This increases the angle accuracy and thereby the overall accuracy. Positioning is also made easier and faster, which was evaluated with a mock-up.
