1. A method comprising:
by a computing system:
receiving environment images from a client device, wherein the environment images depict an environment and are selectively transmitted from the client device based on selection criteria applied by the client device, wherein the selection criteria comprise:
a frequency criterion that specifies transmission of environment images at a rate lower than a threshold frequency;
a blur criterion that specifies a threshold image quality the environment images must satisfy; and
a difference criterion that specifies that content of a given environment image must differ from content of a previously determined environment image by a threshold degree, and
wherein each of the environment images satisfy each of the selection criteria;
constructing a spatial view of the environment based on position data included with the environment images; and
navigating the spatial view, including by:
receiving a movement direction; and
progressing from a current environment image depicted for the spatial view to a next environment image based on the movement direction.
