Abstract
Provided is a system for structured and controlled movement and viewing within a point cloud. The system may generate or obtain a plurality of data points and one or more waypoints for the point cloud, present a first subset of the plurality of data points in a field-of-view of a camera at an initial position and an initial orientation of a first waypoint, change the camera field-of-view from at least one of (i) the initial position to a modified position within a volume of positions defined by orientation controls of the first waypoint or (ii) the initial orientation to a modified orientation within a range of orientations defined by the orientation controls of the first waypoint, and may present a second subset of the plurality of data points in the camera field-of-view at one or more of the modified position and the modified orientation.
