1. A method for presenting an augmented virtual model of a physical building, the method comprising the steps of:
a) supporting a headgear worn on a head of an agent, the headgear comprising a scanning device;
b) with the scanning device, scanning a physical building site to capture respective locations of aspects of the physical building site as image data thereby creating As Built Data while the headgear is supported on the head of the agent;
c) associating a portion of the As Built Data with an As Built Data location in the physical building;
d) generating the augmented virtual model in parallel to the physical building, the augmented virtual model comprising the As Built data representative of aspects of the physical building;
e) generating a user interface, in the headgear, comprising a human readable representation of a location of the agent wearing the headgear within the augmented virtual model;
f) presenting in the user interface a relative position of the portion of the As Built Data relative to the human readable representation of the location of the agent wearing the headgear within the augmented virtual model, wherein the relative position representing a directional indication from the human readable representation of the location of the agent wearing the headgear to the portion of the As Built Data;
g) comparing the As Built Data with a database or a technical library; and
h) presenting in the user interface, based on the comparison in step g, at least one of: an additional information and a predictive information related to the portion of the As Built Data.
