Patent ID: 8854485

Claim:
A method comprising: receiving information indicating a range of motion of a camera on a device, providing an interface on a second device remote from the device, wherein the interface is configured to receive an input indicating a command for an orientation of the camera on the device; based on the information indicating the range of motion of the camera, providing an artificial horizon at a position on the interface that indicates the range of motion of the camera on either side of the artificial horizon, wherein the position of the artificial horizon is associated with an orientation of the camera having a tilt value of about zero or having a pan value of about zero with respect to a plane associated with a field of view of the camera; receiving information indicating a change to the range of motion of the camera on the device; and based on the information indicating the change to the range of motion of the camera, updating the position of the artificial horizon to a different position on the interface, wherein the different position of the artificial horizon is associated with the orientation of the camera having the tilt value of about zero or having the pan value of about zero with respect to the plane associated with the field of view of the camera.
