6 CONCLUSION
This paper demonstrates that the integration of XR
technologies into image-based 3D reconstruction
workflows improves both the image acquisition pro-
cess and the quality of the resulting reconstructions.
The proposed system, using off-the-shelf hardware,
significantly improves the user experience and model
quality, as confirmed by a comparative user study.
While statistically significant improvements were ob-
served with 16 participants, the small sample size lim-
its the generalisability of the results. Larger stud-
ies are needed for more comprehensive validation.
Future work could also extend this system to sup-
port collaborative scanning, allowing multiple users
to capture and visualise a scene simultaneously, im-
proving efficiency and coverage in complex environ-
ments.
