  • Publication number: 20230206565
    Abstract: Implementations generally relate to providing augmented reality in a web browser. In one implementation, a method includes capturing images of a physical scene with a camera of a device. The method further includes determining motion of the camera using six degrees of freedom (6DoF) markerless tracking. The method further includes overlaying virtual three-dimensional (3D) content onto a depicted physical scene in the images, resulting in augmented reality (AR) images. The method further includes rendering the AR images in a browser of the device.

  • Patent number: 9906480
    Abstract: Techniques for ephemeral message are described. In one embodiment, an apparatus may comprise a sender inbound messaging component operative to receive an incoming update for a message queue at a client support server for a messaging system from a messaging client on a client device; a legacy client support component operative to determine whether the messaging client supports a client-side time-to-live setting; determine whether the incoming update should be associated with a server-specified time-to-live setting where the messaging client does not support the client-side time-to-live setting; and assign the incoming update the server-specified time-to-live setting where the messaging client does not support the client-side time-to-live setting and where the incoming update should be associated with a server-side time-to-live setting. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

  • Publication number: 20170169508
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and devices for enabling peer-to-peer loan transactions. In particular, the message system allows users of a social networking system to initiate peer-to-peer loan transactions. For example, one or more implementations involve recommending potential lenders likely to loan money to a user requesting a peer-to-peer loan transaction. One or more embodiments of the message system provide a loan request message to a potential lender. Additionally, one or more embodiments receive an acceptance of the requested loan transaction and initiate the loan transaction by transferring a loan amount from a payment credential of the potential lender to the user.
