Abstract
A first device includes a display, an input device, a non-transitory memory and one or more processors coupled with the display, the input device and the non-transitory memory. In some implementations, a method includes detecting, via the input device, an input that corresponds to a request to generate a path for an entity to follow while a sequence of images is to be captured. In some implementations, the method includes generating the path for the entity based on the request. In some implementations, the method includes triggering a second device that is associated with the entity to overlay a virtual indicator indicative of the path on a pass-through of a physical environment. In some implementations, the virtual indicator guides the entity along the path while the sequence of images is captured.
