Provided herein is a device and system for measuring an object geometry. The device comprises a probe with contacting and tracking ends and a tracking means and actuation control unit positioned on the probe. The system further comprises a measurement and post processing unit in electronic communication with the tracking means and/or the actuation control unit. Also provided is a method for measuring a geometry of an anatomic object, for example, a hernia. One or more locations of interest on the object are touched directly with the contacting probe end and the location or motion data of the probe end and of the tracking means are tracked and transmitted to the measurement and post processing unit as the point(s) of interest are touched. The data is processed into the geometric measurement and a representative image may be displayed.
