PORTALS FOR VISUAL INTERFACES |
摘要 |
One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for populating a scene of a visual interface with a portal. For example, one or more points of interest may be identified for the scene (e.g., a lake, a park, a condo, and/or other points of interest for a city scene). The scene may be populated with portals corresponding to the points of interest (e.g., a portal may have a semi-transparent perimeter compassing at least some of a point of interest, which may mitigate occlusion of the scene). A portal may be hydrated with imagery of a point of interest to provide a preview of the point of interest (e.g., a first portal for the lake may be hydrated with imagery of the lake). A user may seamlessly navigate between and/or explore scenes by selecting portals to transition the visual interface to new scenes depicting corresponding points of interest. |
