Abstract
In various embodiments, computerized methods and systems for identifying object paths to navigate objects in scene-aware device environments are provided. An object path identification mechanism supports identifying object paths. In operation, a guide path for navigating an object from the start point to the end point in a scene-aware device environment is identified. A guide path can be predefined or recorded in real time. A visibility check, such as a look-ahead operation, is performed based on the guide path. Based on performing the visibility check, a path segment to advance the object from the start point towards the end point is determined. The path segment can be optionally modified or refined based on several factors. The object is caused to advance along the path segment. Iteratively performing visibility checks and traverse actions moves the object from the start point to the end point. The path segments define the object path.
