periscoped
Emerged to observe
Periscoped means looked or peered using a periscope, or moved in the manner of a periscope—rising up to see over or around an obstacle: The submarine periscoped above the waves.
More loosely, it describes anything that extended upward like a periscope to gain a view: She periscoped her head above the crowd.
