Abstract
An approach is provided for an augmented reality user interface. An image representing a physical environment is received. Data relating to a horizon within the physical environment is retrieved. A section of the image to overlay location information based on the horizon data is determined. Presenting of the location information within the determined section to a user equipment is initiated.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving an image representing a physical environment;
- determining data relating to a horizon within the physical environment;
- determining a section of the image to overlay location information with a boundary of the section defined based, at least in part, on the horizon;
- and
- causing, at least in part, a presenting of the location information within the determined section to a user equipment.
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code,
- the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following,
- receive an image representing a physical environment,
- determine data relating to a horizon within the physical environment,
- determine a section of the image to overlay location information with a boundary of the section defined based, at least in part, on the horizon, and
- cause, at least in part, a presenting of the location information within the determined section to a user equipment.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium carrying one or more sequences of one or more instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause an apparatus to perform at least the following:
- receive an image representing a physical environment,
- determine data relating to a horizon within the physical environment,
- determine a section of the image to overlay location information with a boundary of the section defined based, at least in part, on the horizon, and
- cause, at least in part, a presenting of the location information within the determined section to a user equipment.
