摘要： Embodiments of the invention provide techniques for filtering and presenting elements of an immersive virtual environment. The elements may be filtered according to importance to the user, based on user-specified importance of each element, the number and type of past interactions with the elements, and the like. Further, the filtering may be performed on the basis of the user's preference for density of element presentation. The user may then be presented with a view of the virtual world in which elements having a higher degree of interest to the user are highlighted visually, and in which elements having a lesser degree of interest to the user are made partially transparent or invisible.

摘要： In an embodiment, an identifier of a storage location that is accessed by a program is received. While execution of the program is halted at a halted statement, a first source statement is determined that must have stored to the storage location. The program comprises the halted statement and the first source statement, and the halted statement is different than the first source statement. The first source statement is presented, in response to the determination. In an embodiment, while execution of the program is halted at the halted statement, a second source statement is determined that might have stored to the storage location, and the second source statement is presented.

摘要： Embodiments of the invention provide techniques for providing information describing locations to users of an immersive virtual environment. In one embodiment, patterns of locations visited by various users of the virtual environment may be stored in a searchable data structure(s). Further, characteristics of the location visits may be used to determine whether a given location visit was favorable for each user. Subsequently, locations visited by a current user may be matched to one of the stored patterns of locations. The matching pattern may then be used to provide favorability information describing other locations available to the current user. The favorability information may be presented to the user as graphical indications visible within the user's view of the virtual environment.
