A cousin to
geometry, stereometry is the
area measurement of
irregular three-dimensional figures, such as
statues.
This was used by the Levi corporation during a period when they were manufacturing jeans designed to the specific fit of the wearer.
This is also used for mapping faces for use in virtual reality simulations, and I recently found a group using a stereometer to map people's faces in preparation to carving out a block with their three-dimensional image.
