Abstract
Presenting locations of individuals on a display of a portable device is described. A region of interest is determined by a location and an orientation of the portable device. The region of interest is a cone of interest radiating away from the location of the portable device in a direction of orientation of the portable device. A set of locations of one or more individuals of interest is determined with respect to the cone of interest. An orienting background and a first set of representations against the orienting background is presented on the display according to the location and orientation of the display. Each representation is of a respective individual of interest located in the cone of interest. The orienting background contains a positional cue of a landmark which the portable device is oriented toward. The cone of interest is adjusted with a pinch gesture on the orienting background. A set of locations of one or more individuals of interest is determined with respect to the adjusted cone of interest. A second set of representations is presented against the orienting background.
