A method for navigating in a simulated environment is disclosed herein. A navigation device determines a search space associated with a plurality of viewpoints other than the current viewpoint in a three-dimensional (3D) space for a current viewpoint. The search space comprises a set of 3D coordinates for each of the plurality of viewpoints. The set of 3D coordinates indicates a position of the corresponding viewpoint in the 3D space. The navigation device determines a field of view at the current viewpoint. The field of view is associated with a viewing angle and a visible distance. The navigation device determines a target viewpoint in the search space of the current viewpoint based on the field of view at the current viewpoint. The navigation device causes display of a guidance user interface (UI) comprising an indicator corresponding to the target viewpoint in the field of view at the current viewpoint.
