First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented system that facilitates navigation, comprising:
- a navigation component that provides navigational assistance based at least in upon navigational input; and
a display engine that displays an immersive view in accordance with the navigational guidance, the immersive view is a portion of viewable data that represents a computer displayable multi-scale image with at least two substantially parallel planes of view in which a first plane and a second plane are alternatively displayable and which are related by a pyramidal volume, the multi-scale image includes a pixel at a vertex of the pyramidal volume.

Abstract
The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates providing navigational assistance. An immersive view can include image data that can represent a computer displayable multi-scale image with at least two substantially parallel planes of view in which a first plane and a second plane are alternatively displayable based upon a level of zoom and which are related by a pyramidal volume, wherein the multi-scale image includes a pixel at a vertex of the pyramidal volume. A navigation component can provide navigational assistance via the immersive view based upon navigational input. A display engine can display the immersive view.
