Abstract

A scanning method for 3D-laser scanning using a virtual reality scene for a remote operator wherein based on a virtual position of the user a scan region is automatically defined. The scan region is then scanned by a scanner, for example a robotic UGV-scanner, deployed in the environment. Scan data generated by the scanner is live streamed to the operator and displayed in real-time as a virtual reality 3D-view of the scanned scan region. Said 3D-view is further automatically dynamically updated in real-time based on generated and live-streamed additional scan data, whereby the additional scan data expands and/or refines the scanned scan region according to a further virtual position of the operator and/or according to an input, for example a manual definition of a region such as a scan gap to be additionally scanned, by the operator, using the displayed 3D-view within the virtual reality scene.
