Abstract:
1. A method of presenting a virtual representation of individuals relative to each other wherein a first one of the individuals is outside of physical view of a second one of the individuals, comprising the steps of: determining a plurality of position constraints that correspond to positions of individuals relative to each other; determining a plurality of viewing constraints each corresponding to a position of one of the individuals relative to a display used by the one individual for viewing the virtual representation wherein the determined viewing constraint regarding the first individual includes the display used by the first individual being within a viewing cone of the first individual and the virtual representation of the second individual is within a corresponding viewing cone of the virtual representation of the first individual; and wherein the determined viewing constraint regarding the second individual includes the display used by the second individual being within a viewing cone of the second individual and wherein the virtual representation of the first individual is within a corresponding viewing cone of the virtual representation of the second individual; and determining relative positions of virtual representations of the individuals in the virtual representation corresponding to the determined position and viewing constraints by placing the virtual representation of the first individual relative to the virtual representation of the second individual to satisfy the determined viewing constraint regarding the second individual; and placing the virtual representation of the second individual relative to the virtual representation of the first individual to satisfy the determined viewing constraint regarding the first individual.
