We describe an interactive interface for exploring and acquiring reality-based models of physical objects. A user interacts with a graphical/haptic display to specify exploration operations on a model of the object (poking, rubbing along a path). These operations are then performed on the real object by a remote robotic sensing system, in order to measure certain requested physical properties (roughness, friction, acoustic response). Measured physical data is then parameterized and mapped back onto an area of the model in the haptic display, where it can be experienced by the user. If desired, the user can then extend this data onto other parts of the object model, by applying it to regions and features defined using the haptic display.
