Abstract
Systems (100) and methods (800) for visually rendering a multi-dimensional model of a portion of a system (100) having mechanical joints (228-238). The methods comprise: determining a first current physical joint configuration of a first mechanical joint and a second current physical joint configuration of a second mechanical joint; determining at least one first viewing direction (d234) along a rotational axis or perpendicular to a linear extension axis (a234) of the first mechanical joint (234) having the first current physical joint configuration and at least one second viewing direction (d236) along a rotational axis or perpendicular to a linear extension axis (a236) of the second mechanical joint (236) having the second current physical joint configuration; computing an avatar view perspective direction (σ234-236) based on the first and second viewing directions; and dynamically adjusting a perspective view of a visually rendered multi-dimensional model of the system using the avatar view perspective direction.
