Existing navigation techniques do not scale well tolarge virtual worlds. We present a new technique,navigation with place representations and visiblelandmarks, that scales from town-sized to planet-sizedworlds. Visible landmarks make distant landmarks visibleand allow users to travel relative to those landmarks with asingle gesture. Actual and symbolic place representationsallow users to detect and travel to more distant locationswith a small number of gestures. The world's semanticplace hierarchy determines which visible landmarks andplace representations users can see at any point in time. Wepresent experimental results demonstrating that ourtechnique allows users to navigate more efficiently than amodified panning and zooming WIM, completing within-place navigation tasks 22% faster and between-place tasks38% faster on average.
