In (Global View), the Layer buttons are visible and the green cube is selected. (Local View) shows the cube has been focused and centered in the 3D view and the Layer buttons have disappeared. This feature is handy when you want to focus on just the object and nothing else. If a scene has thousands of objects visible, it can potentially speed interactivity up because it is the only object visible.
