1. A computer-implemented method for surveying indoor physical environments comprising:
- receiving surveying data from a proximity barrier survey device consisting of a lidar based device, an accelerometer and altimeter, wherein the proximity barrier survey device is mounted to a package, wherein the package located within a physical environment;
generating a three-dimensional map based on the surveying data wherein the surveying data comprises dimensions for the physical environment, dimensions for objects within the physical environment and dimensions of placement of the objects placed within the physical environment;
tracking movement of the package within the physical environment based on the map and the surveying data;
recording the movement of the package within the physical environment;
generating an animated map of the package within the physical environment;
identifying, based on said surveying data, an impact event wherein the package experiences a shock greater than a predetermined threshold; and
recording at least one of an impact time or an impact position for the impact event, and a magnitude of the impact event.
