Transitioning views of a virtual model

A head-mounted display device, comprising:

• a display;
• a logic device;
• and
• a storage device storing instructions executable by the logic device to
• display via the display of the head-mounted display device a virtual model at a first position in a coordinate frame of the head-mounted display device;
• and
• responsive to a trigger, display an animation representing a movement of the virtual model from the first position to a second position in the coordinate frame of the head-mounted display device and simultaneously scale a size of the virtual model relative to a field of view of the head-mounted display device based on the movement such that the movement and scaling occurs at a variable rate progression in which the virtual model moves and scales more quickly while the virtual model is smaller relative to the field of view of the head-mounted display device and more slowly as the virtual model grows larger relative to the field of view of the head-mounted display device, such that the virtual model appears to move and scale in size at a consistent rate relative to the field of view of the head-mounted display device.

A head-mounted display device comprising:

• a display;
• one or more sensors;
• a logic device;
• and
• a storage device storing instructions executable by the logic device to
• display via the display of the head-mounted display device a virtual model at a first position in a coordinate frame of the head-mounted display device;
• determine a head pose of a user based on sensor data acquired via the one or more sensors;
• determine a line of sight of the user that intersects the virtual model to identify a location the user is viewing;
• and
• responsive to a trigger, displaying, via the display, an animation representing a movement of the virtual model to a second position in the coordinate frame of the head-mounted display device, the second position corresponding to the location the user is viewing, and simultaneously scaling a size of the virtual model relative to a field of view of the head-mounted display device based on the movement such that the movement and the scaling occurs at a variable rate progression in which the virtual model moves and scales more quickly while the virtual model is smaller relative to the field of view of the head-mounted display device and more slowly as the virtual model grows larger relative to the field of view of the head-mounted display device, such that the virtual model appears to move and scale in size at a consistent rate relative to the field of view of the head-mounted display device.
