# User Interface

When SpatialExplorer is launched, the user is greeted by a dialog window. This window will allow the user to choose SpatialExplorer’s operational mode, either in offline mode or through a connection to a rover for real-time scanning.

The user Interface in Spatial Explorer includes the following (colors correspond to the rectangles in the image below):
