  • Publication number: 20230071930
    Abstract: The subject technology receives image data including a representation of a physical item. The subject technology analyzes the image data to determine an object corresponding to the physical item. The subject technology identifies a set of colors corresponding to a set of regions of the determined object. The subject technology analyzes second image data to detect a second object corresponding to a representation of a particular body part of a user. The subject technology generates augmented reality content based at least in part on the identified set of colors and the detected second object. The subject technology causes display, at a client device, the augmented reality content applied to the detected second object.

  • Patent number: 11579757
    Abstract: Usage metrics for augmented reality content may be identified and analyzed to determine measures of fitness for respective usage metrics. The measures of fitness may indicate a level of correlation with an outcome specified by an augmented reality content creator and an amount of interaction with an augmented reality content item by users of a client application. Recommendations may be provided to augmented reality content creators indicating modifications to augmented reality content items that have at least a threshold probability of increasing the level of interaction between users of the client application and the augmented reality content item.

  • Patent number: 11406900
    Abstract: A system, a machine-readable storage medium storing instructions, and a computer-implemented method are described herein for a System Tuner for defining an in-game event requiting accumulation of a pre-defined set of virtual objects in a virtual game (or online game) prior to termination of the in-game event. The System Tuner determines a head-start subset from the pre-defined set of virtual objects for a target player account based on a difference between a reference player skill level for the virtual game and a player skill level of the target player account. The System Tuner determines, based on the player skill level of the target player account and a pre-defined duration of the in-game event, a drop rate for virtual objects remaining in the pre-defined set of virtual objects. The System Tuner sends the head-start subset and the drop rate to a client device associated with the target player account.
