Abstract: Systems and methods for generating AR content to virtually alter a real-world item are provided. The real-world item may be a deformable item including one or more flexible surfaces. According to an embodiment, a method includes determining the relative positions of a plurality of points on the real-world item. Based on the relative positions of the plurality of points, a 3D model of a virtual item is distorted to produce a distorted 3D model of the virtual item. The distorted 3D model may have substantially the same shape as the real-world item. AR content is then generated based on the distorted three-dimensional model.

Abstract: A merchant may operate a retail store that users are able to visit in person in order to view and purchase products. When a user visits the store, the user might not know where a desired product (“target product”) is located. Computer technology may help direct the user to the target product in real-time. In some embodiments, a model of passable areas and the location of products in the retail store may be determined, e.g. by a merchant device. In some embodiments, when the user visits the retail store, a computer generates a product recommendation, e.g. based on user-specific information, and a route in the retail store is determined for the user. In some embodiments, the route in the retail store may be determined using the model based on the target product, the user's location in the store, and one or more recommended products.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods are provided for augmented reality-assisted assessment of three-dimensional (3D) fit of physical objects within a physical environment in different positions. According to an embodiment, an augmented reality (AR) device obtains 3D dimensions of a virtual object representative of a real-world physical object and displays a 3D representation of the virtual object in an AR space depicted by a user interface of the AR device that is representative of a real-world physical environment in a field of view of the AR device. The 3D representation of the virtual object is proportionally dimensioned relative to the physical environment based on the obtained 3D dimensions of the virtual object and the virtual object is repositionable in the AR space responsive to input received by the AR device to allow assessment of 3D fit of the virtual object within the physical environment in different positions.
