Maintaining object alignment in 3d map segments

Abstract

A method of determining a position for a virtual object is described. A location of a client device is determined, and, based on the determined location a set of map segments is retrieved. A virtual object is determined to be displayed on the client device. Relation vectors between the virtual object and each map segment of the retrieved set of map segments are obtained. Each relation vector is weighted based on object parameters of the virtual object. A position to display the virtual object is determined based on the weighted relation vectors. The virtual object is provided for display on the client device as the determined position.
