  • Patent number: 10185463
    Abstract: An approach is provided for determining at least one selection of at least one object model in a three-dimensional world user interface, wherein the at least one object model is a three-dimensional representation of at least one object visible in the three-dimensional world user interface from a first camera view position, and wherein the three-dimensional world user interface presents at least one first panoramic image that is determined based, at least in part, on the first camera view position. The approach involves determining at least one interaction input with the at least one object model to cause, at least in part, a rotation of the at least one object model in the three-dimensional world user interface. The approach also involves causing, at least in part, a calculation of a second camera view position based, at least in part, on the rotation.
