First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
a memory that stores at least a plurality of multi-directional pictures, wherein a first multi-directional picture of the plurality of multi-directional pictures includes one or more pictures captured from a first location of a represented object, and wherein a second multi-directional picture of the plurality of multi-directional pictures includes one or more pictures captured from a second location of the represented object, and wherein the one or more processors are configured to perform at least;
adding one or more links between the first multi-directional picture and the second multi-directional picture at least in response to determining a line of sight that passes through a picture of the one or more pictures of the first multi-directional picture and a picture of the one or more pictures of the second multi-directional picture; and
causing the memory or another memory to store the one or more links between the first multi-directional picture and the second multi-directional picture, wherein the one or more pictures of the first multi-directional picture are used on one or more display devices to depict one or more views from the first location of the represented object, and wherein the one or more pictures of the second multi-directional picture are used on the one or more display devices or on another one or more display devices to depict one or more views from the second location of the represented object.

19. A system comprising:
-
a memory that stores at least a plurality of multi-directional pictures, wherein a first multi-directional picture of the plurality of multi-directional pictures includes one or more pictures captured from a first location of a represented object, and wherein a second multi-directional picture of the plurality of multi-directional pictures includes one or more pictures captured from a second location of the represented object; means for adding one or more links between the first multi-directional picture and the second multi-directional picture at least in response to determining a line of sight that passes through a picture of the one or more pictures of the first multi-directional picture and a picture of the one or more pictures of the second multi-directional picture; and means for causing the memory or another memory to store the one or more links between the first multi-directional picture and the second multi-directional picture, wherein the one or more pictures of the first multi-directional picture are used on one or more display devices to depict one or more views from the first location of the represented object, and wherein the one or more pictures of the second multi-directional picture are used on the one or more display devices or on another one or more display devices to depict one or more views from the second location of the represented object.

20. A method implemented using a computing system that includes one or more processors, the method comprising:
-
accessing a memory that stores at least a plurality of multi-directional pictures, wherein a first multi-directional picture of the plurality of multi-directional pictures includes one or more pictures captured from a first location of a represented object, and wherein a second multi-directional picture of the plurality of multi-directional pictures includes one or more pictures captured from a second location of the represented object; adding one or more links between the first multi-directional picture and the second multi-directional picture at least in response to determining a line of sight that passes through a picture of the one or more pictures of the first multi-directional picture and a picture of the one or more pictures of the second multi-directional picture; and storing, in the memory or in another memory, the one or more links between the first multi-directional picture and the second multi-directional picture, wherein the one or more pictures of the first multi-directional picture are used on one or more display devices to depict one or more views from the first location of the represented object, and wherein the one or more pictures of the second multi-directional picture are used on the one or more display devices or on another one or more display devices to depict one or more views from the second location of the represented object.
