HIGH-DENSITY 3D ENVIRONMENT CAPTURE TO GUIDE MIXED REALITY

A system for integrating high-density laser scanner data with mixed-reality is disclosed. In some implementations, the system may acquire, using a laser scanner, a collection of data points representing a three-dimensional point cloud, wherein the laser scanner includes: a laser configured to generate an optical beam; a beam-steering device configured to steer the optical beam; and a detector configured to receive light from the optical beam, after light from the optical beam is reflected from an object in an environment. The system may transmit data of the point cloud to the augmented-reality device, wherein the augmented-reality device comprises: one or more cameras configured to acquire images of the environment; and a display configured to render graphics on the display. The system may align a reference frame of the augmented-reality device to the data of the point cloud. The system may present a graphic on the display of the augmented-reality device, wherein the graphic is positioned on the display in relation to the environment based on the reference frame of the augmented-reality device being aligned to data of the point cloud.
