Abstract:
A method, apparatus and computer program for presenting locations of individuals in an interface are described. A region of interest is determined by a location and an orientation of a portable device in an environment. The region of interest is a cone of interest radiating away from the location of the portable device in a direction of orientation of the portable device. A set of locations of one or more individuals of interest with respect to the cone of interest in the environment is determined. An orienting background and a first set of representations against the orienting background are presented in an interface on the display. Each representation is of a respective individual of interest in the cone of interest. The interface is presented according to the location and orientation of the display. The orienting background contains a positional cue of a landmark of the environment which the portable device is oriented toward. The representation of the respective individual of interest is displayed only if the portable device is oriented toward the respective individual of interest.
