1. A method comprising:
determining, by a processor, a line of sight based at least in part on a user's location and orientation, wherein the line of sight defines a first portion of a map representing information that is within the user's sight and a second portion of the map representing information that is out of the user's sight and associated with at least one potential view of the user if the user were at a different location within the first portion of the map; determining at least one image associated with at least one location within the second portion of the map; receiving user input directed to the at least one location within the second portion of the map; and causing, in response to receiving the user input, the at least one image associated with the at least one location to be presented to the user.
