Method and apparatus for generating guidance among viewpoints in a scene

A device, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable medium, having computer-executable instructions stored thereon, the computer-executable instructions, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to facilitate:
• determining, for a current viewpoint, a search space associated with a plurality of viewpoints other than the current viewpoint in a three-dimensional (3D) space, wherein the search space comprises a set of 3D coordinates for each of the plurality of viewpoints, wherein the set of 3D coordinates indicates a position of the corresponding viewpoint in the 3D space;
• determining a field of view at the current viewpoint, wherein the field of view is an area associated with a viewing angle and a visible distance;
• determining, based on the field of view at the current viewpoint, a target viewpoint in the search space of the current viewpoint, wherein the target viewpoint is outside the area of the field of view at the current viewpoint;
• and
• causing display of a guidance user interface (UI) comprising an indicator corresponding to the target viewpoint in the field of view at the current viewpoint.
