This pattern is a still a stub.

=== Examples ===

probes in deus ex

additional screens in openTTD and Transport Tycoon

System Shock has the Sense-around hardware implant that allows you to see behind you (v1) and even full 360 view (v3) according to the reference card. The view is seen as "picture in picture" on the HUD.

Although they sometimes take up all of the screen space instead of just some, sticky cameras in the [[Splinter Cell series]] are examples of [[Picture-in-Picture Views]].

 wingmen facecams in e.g. [[Star Fox series]]

== Using the pattern ==

=== Can Be Instantiated By ===
[[Mini-maps]]

=== Can Be Modulated By ===
[[Cameras]]

=== Can Modulate ===
[[Killcams]]

=== Diegetic Aspects ===
While it may seem that [[Picture-in-Picture Views]] might challenge the [[Diegetic Consistency]] of a game, this can easily be avoided by introducing diegetic elements that can provide images from afar.

=== Interface Aspects ===
[[Picture-in-Picture Views]] is an [[:Category:Interface Patterns|Interface Pattern]]. Alternatives to it include [[Auxiliary Game Screens]] and [[Split-Screen Views]].

== Consequences ==
[[Point of Interest Indications]], 

[[Picture-in-Picture Views]] are a form of [[Split-Screen Views]]. They typically create [[Third-Person Views]] (conceivably it would instead be [[First-Person Views]] if they are used to form [[Split-Screen Views]] of diegetic entities that can look at several independent things at once).

[[Game State Overviews]],

== Relations ==
