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 4):
A computer-implemented method comprising:\n presenting, by a computing system and to a user, a first image taken from a first location that includes a view of a second location; determining, by the computing system, to present a second image taken from the second location in a direction away from the first location; and presenting, by the computing system, and to the user over a period of time, a visual transition sequence that simulates movement from the first location to the second location, wherein the presenting of the visual transition sequence includes performing zooming during a first subset of the period of time that begins with the first image and progressively increases an amount of zoom within the first image to reach an enlarged portion of the first image, and includes performing blending during a second subset of the period of time that begins with the enlarged portion of the first image and changes from the enlarged portion of the first image to the second image by progressively increasing a relative proportion of the second image that is shown until only the second image is shown, ending with a display of the second image.
