1. A method comprising:
obtaining a first multi-view interactive digital media representation (MIDMR), the first MIDMR generated by stitching together two-dimensional images of a first object captured using an image capture device at different positions to provide a three-dimensional view of the first object, wherein the first MIDMR is navigable by a user to allow the user to change a viewing angle of the first object along one or more axes;
obtaining a second MIDMR different from the first MIDMR, the second MIDMR generated by stitching together two-dimensional images of a second object; and
combining the first MIDMR and the second MIDMR to create a third MIDMR, the third MIDMR providing a three-dimensional view of the first object as well as an embedded three-dimensional view of a second object without rendering an actual three-dimensional model.
