Aspects of the disclosure relate generally to providing a user with an image navigation experience. For instance, a first image of a multidimensional space is provided with an overlay line indicating a direction in which the space extends into the first image such that a second image is connected to the first image along a direction of the overlay line. User input indicating a swipe across a portion of the display is received. When swipe occurred at least partially within an interaction zone defining an area around the overlay line at which the user can interact with the space, the swipe indicates a request to display an image different from the first image. The second image is selected and provided for display based on the swipe and a connection graph connecting the first image and the second image along the direction of the overlay line.

Navigation through multidimensional images spaces

The present disclosure describes a system and method that includes receiving a user selection of a portion of a first image. In response to the user-selection, a first identifier of three-dimensional space associated with the user-selection is determined and a second image is selected based on a portion of the second image being associated with the first identifier. The second image may be provided to the user to be displayed. The present disclosure also provides for mapping a portion of a first image to an identifier of three-dimensional space.
