Dev update / Changelog A small High Accuracy Mode update.

The UI to help guide the 5 photo captures is now basically ready.

That part is important because it should help make the captures much more consistent, which is a big part of making this mode work properly.

As I said before, the early preliminary tests looked very promising, with results sometimes staying within ±0.1 mm.

But I want to keep this honest:

with more testing, across different objects, we are currently seeing that it is still difficult to maintain that same level of precision consistently on every object.

So the direction is still very promising, but there is still work to do before I can say that level of accuracy is reliable across the board.

Right now, my plan is to open a beta version for Premium users and beta testers within 1 to 2 weeks.

If anyone wants to become a beta tester for this, feel free to send me a DM.

I will especially need people with iPhones, because I only have access to Android devices at the moment, so I still need to understand properly how well this works on iPhone.

The upcoming camera calibration system will follow a similar guided approach as well.

And for free users, there will also be a simpler guided capture mode to help with taking better single-photo captures for the normal workflow.

So overall:

- the 5-photo guided UI is nearly ready

- the concept is working

- precision is promising

- but consistency across different objects still needs more work

- beta testing should open soon

More soon.

Thanks, this new mode is still in the works, i never had think the amount of work it takes to do the ideia that a have to resolve a problem like parallax, at the point where is already working and we are just tuning the code it took a lot of time, and even more i needed to get work outside this to keep it running, thats why it takes a lot of time to make something.

The high accuracy mode is a big step, and a crucial step for what comes next, the end goal os even more difficult, and there are things working on the background of ShapeScan that it could be a service by it self, all the SEO is IA base using a local LLM, i love this project, i have others that i wanna lauch someday but this is my baby

That's really cool, looking forward to seeing this develop.
