Pausing the Scan

Tap the Pause Icon  in the Action Bar to pause, to resume scanning tap the Start Icon.

When you tap pause, the PAUSED text in the top bar blinks until you resume the scan.

In pause mode, no images are taken (auto-triggering is disabled) and no points are added to the point cloud. Pause mode is useful in the following scenarios:

• If you need to take a break while scanning.

• People are coming into view of the device (they should not appear in the point cloud or in panorama images).

• The device is being used in an area where you do not want to capture panorama images or a point cloud but still want to continue capturing in the same dataset.

Note: In Pause Mode, only the scan process is paused. Localization is always running. To avoid impairing the quality of the recorded map, do not move faster or less carefully than normal.
