Claim Text:
1. A method for visually rendering a multi-dimensional model of at least a portion of a system having a plurality of mechanical joints, comprising: determining, by an electronic circuit, a first current physical joint configuration of a first mechanical joint and a second current physical joint configuration of a second mechanical joint; determining, by the electronic circuit, at least one first viewing direction along a rotational axis or perpendicular to a linear extension axis of the first mechanical joint having the first current physical joint configuration and at least one second viewing direction along a rotational axis or perpendicular to a linear extension axis of the second mechanical joint having the second current physical joint configuration, wherein the determination of the first and second viewing directions is absent of a user input requirement; computing, by the electronic circuit, an Avatar View Perspective Direction (“AVPD”) based exclusively on a weighted average of at least the first and second viewing directions; and dynamically adjusting, by the electronic circuit, a perspective view of a visually rendered multi-dimensional model of the system using the AVPD which was previously computed.
