Title: Bruno Rocha Pereira and Virtual 3D Scanning

Introduction

Bruno Rocha Pereira is an inventor based in Sterrebeek, Belgium. His work includes a patent for a virtual reality-based approach to remote 3D laser scanning.

Latest Patents

Pereira is associated with 1 patent, titled “Virtual 3D-Scanning Environment.” The invention describes a method in which an operator uses a virtual reality scene to define a scan region based on their virtual position. A scanner, such as a robotic unmanned ground vehicle, scans the corresponding physical environment and streams the resulting data to the operator in real time.

The scan data appears as a 3D view within the virtual reality scene. As additional data arrives, the view updates dynamically, expanding or refining the scanned region. The operator can also direct further scanning by moving to another virtual position or manually identifying an area, such as a gap, that needs additional scanning.

Career Highlights

Pereira works at Hexagon Innovation Hub GmbH. His patent reflects an approach that connects remote operation, robotic scanning, and immersive visualization to support interactive 3D data collection.

Collaborations

His listed coworkers include Merlin Bastien Fischer and Susanna Nevalainen.

Conclusion

Bruno Rocha Pereira’s patent presents a real-time, interactive method for guiding remote 3D scanning through a virtual reality environment.
