Abstract
Embodiments are disclosed for transitioning views presented via a head-mounted display device. One example method for operating a head-mounted display device includes displaying a virtual model at a first position in a coordinate frame of the head-mounted display device, receiving sensor data from one or more sensors of the head-mounted display device, and determining a line of sight of the user that intersects the virtual model to identify a location the user is viewing. The example method further includes, responsive to a trigger, moving the virtual model to a second position in the coordinate frame of the head-mounted display device corresponding to the location the user is viewing and simultaneously scaling the virtual model.
