A tool for interacting with a rendered environment is configured to render a representation of a real-world environment. Input data is received that is indicative of a position for a zoom window to be placed within the representation. The zoom window is rendered at the position within the representation and has a size that is determined based on one or more criteria. Within the zoom window, a magnified view of a portion of the representation is rendered that is proximate to the position of the zoom window. Input data is received that is indicative of a first gesture applied to the zoom window and is indicative of a resizing of the zoom window. The zoom window is resized on the UI in accordance with the first gesture, and a scale of the magnified view within the zoom window is maintained as the zoom window is resized. Input data is received that is indicative of a second gesture applied to the zoom window and indicative of a change to a zoom scale for content within the zoom window. The magnified view of the portion of the representation is updated, and the size of the zoom window is maintained as the magnified view is updated.
