Embodiment Construction

[0053] exist figure 1 A user-initiated transition between a first view (1) of the virtual environment and a second view (2) of the virtual environment is shown in . The first view (1) includes a reference point 11, which is at the same time the starting point of the route. The user finds the destination 12 by free navigation in the virtual environment. By double-clicking the touch-sensitive surface of the display unit (by means of which the first view (1) and the second view (2) are displayed), as indicated by the arrow 21, the second view is displayed directly to the user from the first view (1). The second view (2), which uses a changed scale compared to the first view (1), makes it possible to jointly display the reference point 11 and the destination or intermediate destination 12, thereby also enabling the user to positioning. Double-tapping again on the touch-sensitive surface of the display medium switches the representation back to the first view ( 1 ), as indicated...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method and a device for assisting a user's orientation in a virtual environment. The system changes on user initiative between two views of the virtual environment, wherein a first view comprises a detailed representation of a destination and a second view is scaled such that both the destination and a reference point, such as a current position, for example, are displayed together.

Description

technical field [0001] The method according to the invention and the device according to the invention relate to positioning assistance in virtual environments. Background technique [0002] When navigating in a virtual environment displayed on a display unit, especially when navigating in a geographical map, especially when using a small screen as a display unit, it is easy for the user to lose orientation under different scales. In order to avoid this loss of orientation, direct access to the display unit is provided for each user in the method according to the invention or in the device according to the invention, whereby the information displayed on the display unit with respect to the The representation of defined points is also switched back to the original view when required. [0003] In today's state of the art, electronic map material is displayed on screens in different sizes and resolutions, in which case the user always selects a certain map section for display...
