Abstract
In one embodiment, a building model is presented to a user. The building model may be a three-dimensional rendering of a geographic region. A user selects a point on the three-dimensional rendering of a geographic region. Based on the selected point one or more image bubbles are chosen. The image bubbles are photographs or similar image data. The image bubbles and the three-dimensional rendering are associated with the same geographical space. The one or more image bubbles are incorporated with the building model such that at least a portion of one of the image bubbles is displayed in a window with the building model.

10. An apparatus comprising:
-
a memory storing a plurality of image bubbles; and a processor configured to receive a selection of a point associated with a virtual rendering of a geographic region and configured to access the plurality of image bubbles and select an optimal image bubble from the plurality of image bubbles based on the selection of the point on the virtual rendering of the geographic region. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
