The present invention relates to a method for calculating one or more isovists of a physical or extended reality environment, comprising the following steps: providing at least one electronic acquisition device configured to obtain a plurality of georeferenced data, such as time, position, orientation, and configured to take frames of the physical or extended reality environment; calculating a positioning parameter for each user, each positioning parameter being representative of a positioning point of a respective user in the physical or extended reality environment and being determined from the georeferenced position data acquired when said respective user uses the electronic acquisition device to take a frame of the physical or extended reality environment; calculating an aim parameter for each user, each aim parameter being representative of the direction of a respective frame of the physical or extended reality environment taken by a user at the respective positioning point and being calculated from the georeferenced orientation data acquired when such respective user uses the electronic acquisition device to take the frame; associating each positioning parameter with a respective aim parameter to define respective data units; grouping into respective positioning sets data units having respective positioning parameters differing from each other by a value lower than a positioning threshold value and respective aim parameters differing from each other by a value lower than an aim threshold value; calculating at least one isovist for each positioning set as a function of the respective positioning and/or aim parameters; representing each calculated isovist in a graphical user interface of an electronic display device.
