Claim One:
1. A method comprising: establishing a viewpoint for an object-of-interest included in an image; establishing a path between the viewpoint and the object-of-interest; extruding surface points included on the object-of-interest along the path toward the viewpoint to define a volume, with a computer system that includes one or more processors, that determines a minimum displacement from the path for an object that is intersected by the volume and at least partially occludes the object-of-interest relative to the viewpoint; displacing the object that is intersected by the volume away from the path based on a transformation function and the minimum displacement, with the computer system, to a location within the image so the object intersected by the volume remains visible and does not occlude the object-of-interest relative to the viewpoint in a presentation; and displaying the presentation on a display device of the computer system.
