A device comprising:

• a display;
• a processor;
• a non-transitory computer readable memory;
• and
• program instructions stored on the non-transitory computer readable memory and executable by the processor to perform operations comprising:
• receiving a video of a plurality of portions of an environment;
• receiving a registration data stream, wherein, for each respective image frame of the video, the registration data stream indicates a location at which to place the respective image frame of the video within a still photo panorama of the environment to create an augmented panorama;
• displaying a portion of the augmented panorama on the display, wherein the video is moving within the augmented panorama based on the registration data stream;
• determining, based on the registration data stream, a current direction of a current location of the video within the augmented panorama relative to a current location, within the augmented panorama, of the portion of the augmented panorama displayed on the display;
• and
• displaying, on the display, a visual cue indicating the current direction.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored therein instructions that, when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:

• receiving a video of a plurality of portions of an environment;
• receiving a registration data stream, wherein, for each respective image frame of the video, the registration data stream indicates a location at which to place the respective image frame of the video within a still photo panorama of the environment to create an augmented panorama;
• displaying a portion of the augmented panorama on a display of the computing device, wherein the video is moving within the augmented panorama based on the registration data stream;
• determining, based on the registration data stream, a current direction of a current location of the video within the augmented panorama relative to a current location, within the augmented panorama, of the portion of the augmented panorama displayed on the display;
• and
• displaying, on the display, a visual cue indicating the current direction.
