Abstract:
Techniques are described for, given two images taken at two viewing locations, generating and presenting an image transition sequence that simulates viewer movement between the viewing locations, such as without using information about relative distance between the viewing locations and other depth information to objects in an environment around the viewing locations. The start and end images for an image transition sequence may be part of panorama images acquired at the viewing locations, and generating of the image transition sequence may include selecting and using one of multiple types of transition sequences to perform rotating (e.g., from a start image's viewing direction to face toward the viewing location for the end image), zooming (e.g., to simulate moving forward), and/or blending of the end image with a modified version of the start image, with the resulting image transition sequence played as a video or other animation.

Claim (Index 9):
The computer-implemented method of  claim 4  wherein the presenting of the visual transition sequence includes selecting first parameters to use for the zooming during the first subset of the period of time that include at least one of a first rate of zoom for the zooming or a zoom-in scale to reach by an end of the first subset of the period of time, and includes selecting second parameters to use for additional zooming during the second subset of the period of time that begins with a zoomed-out image of which the second image is a part and ends with the second image, the second parameters including at least one of a second rate of zoom for the additional zooming or a zoom-out scale to use for the zoomed-out image at a start of the second subset of the period of time.
