  • Patent number: 10191486
    Abstract: A system may include an unmanned surveyor and a controller for the surveyor. The controller may include a headset. The surveyor includes a vehicle for moving within an environment and a camera for capturing video or images of the environment. The surveyor identifies points within the environment, and positions of those points (e.g., latitude, longitude, elevation). The surveyor may calculate spatial dimensions of virtual lines and/or shapes superimposed within the real-world environment. The controller may control the surveyor. The surveyor may be responsive to a controller headset that detects movement. The controller may display video or images captured by the surveyor, and may provide to a user an immersive first-person perspective of the environment. The user may utilize the controller to superimpose virtual lines and shapes onto the environment. These superimposed lines and shapes may trace real-world objects, enabling the user to remotely evaluate features of the real-world objects.
