Finding new nodes with VR, Confusing to me! Options

[GrinderTheTroll]

I think I have a handle on AR, it's a overlay on the physical world. You use your commlink to Scan for nodes around you and interact with them. If you are within range of a Node's Signal, you will become aware of it unless it's Hidden and that takes more time. So, if I wanted to find Nodes farther away, I would need to physically get my commlink closer to them, specifically, within that Node's Signal range. Fine.

The part that confuses me is, if I switch to VR I am no longer physically moving (nor is my commlink) so how can I detect new Nodes as I virtually move through cyberspace? Wouldn't I be limited to only the Nodes Signal ratings I am able to intially reach?

I understand sytems/Nodes will send data to my Persona so I can interpret what I see (Nodes, Systems, Icon, etc.), but what about Hidden Nodes that are part of the System I want to explore? How does a Scan program work in VR and how can I "see" new nodes (out of my physical commlink range) in VR if I physically am not within their Signal range?

In an earlier thread about tracking RFID's someone raised the assertion about using devices linked through the Matrix to search for the RFID.

Unless I am missing something here, it sounds like that's exactly how VR is working else how would you be able to locate Hidden nodes in the VR world?

Can someone please help me with this?

Thanks!
