Abstract

A method for navigating concurrently and from point-to-point through multiple reality models is described. The method includes: generating, at a processor, a first navigatable virtual view of a first location of interest, wherein the first location of interest is one of a first virtual location and a first non-virtual location; and concurrently with the generating the first navigatable virtual view of the first location of interest, generating, at the processor, a second navigatable virtual view corresponding to a current physical position of an object, such that real-time sight at the current physical position is enabled within the second navigatable virtual view.
