Displaying Representations of Environments

Abstract:

A method includes displaying a home ER environment characterized by home ER world coordinates, including one or more diorama-view representation of one or more respective ER environments. Each diorama-view representation includes ER objects arranged in a spatial relationship according to corresponding ER world coordinates. In some implementations, in response to detecting an input directed to a first diorama-view representation, the method includes transforming the home ER environment. Transforming the home ER environment includes transforming the spatial relationship between a subset of the ER objects as a function of the home ER world coordinates and corresponding ER world coordinates. In some implementations, in response to detecting an input associated with a first one of a plurality of diorama-view representations, the method includes changing display of the first one of the plurality of diorama-view representations from a first viewing vector to a second viewing vector while maintaining an arrangement of ER objects.
