Claim 12:
13. A method comprising:
positioning a laser scanner at a first location in an environment;
acquiring, using the laser scanner, a collection of data points representing a point cloud, wherein:
the point cloud is a three-dimensional point cloud;
the point cloud is missing data of a surface in the environment, based on an obstacle between the laser scanner and the surface;

transmitting data of the point cloud to a mixed-reality device;
presenting data of the point cloud on the mixed-reality device;
positioning the laser scanner at a second location, after presenting the data of the point cloud on the mixed-reality device and an identification that the point cloud is missing data of the surface, wherein the laser scanner is a base station that is separate from the mixed-reality device; and
scanning the surface with the laser scanner at the second location.
