Abstract:
1. A method comprising: determining a first location, the first location corresponding to the location of a mobile terminal; receiving a second location, the second location corresponding to the location of a point of interest; determining, using a processor, a bearing angle and a distance from the mobile terminal to the point of interest using the first location and the second location; projecting the point of interest onto a cylinder using the bearing and distance; determining a set of three dimensional coordinates in a Cartesian space for the point of interest relative to the mobile terminal using the projected point of interest; causing the point of interest to be displayed as an interface element of an augmented reality interface using the set of three dimensional coordinates in a Cartesian space; segmenting the augmented reality interface into at least a foreground region and a background region; determining whether the point of interest is displayed in the foreground region or the background region at least in part based on the distance from the mobile terminal to the point of interest, such that the point of interest is displayed in the background region if the distance is greater than a threshold; applying a first interface effect to the point of interest in response to the point of interest being displayed in the foreground region; and applying a second interface effect different from the first interface effect to the point of interest in response to the point of interest being displayed in the background region.
