  • Publication number: 20240161258
    Abstract: A computer-implemented is disclosed. The method includes: obtaining a first set of a plurality of images of products that are associated with a same product category; selecting a subset of the first set based on interaction data of customer interactions with a merchant's online storefront; and providing, to a deep learning generative model, the subset of the first set and a second set of training images depicting a first product for training a customized generative model associated with the first product.

  • Patent number: 11948244
    Abstract: Methods and systems for providing a dynamic product presentation are disclosed. In one example, a method comprises providing, by a processor, a three-dimensional representation of a product in a virtual environment for display on a customer device; and responsive to the processor identifying a surface in a camera feed of the customer device having a dimensionality suitable for the product, generating, by the processor, an augmented media containing an augmented reality representation of a three-dimensional model for the product on the surface.

  • Patent number: 11941750
    Abstract: Methods and systems for providing a dynamic product presentation are disclosed. In one example, a method comprises identifying, by a processor, a first surface in a first view of a camera feed from a customer device; obtaining, by the processor, a three-dimensional model of a product that corresponds to the first surface; providing, by the processor, an augmented media containing an overlay of a first augmented reality representation of the three-dimensional model of the product in the first view; and responsive to the processor identifying a second surface in a second view of the camera feed from the customer device, revising, by the processor, the augmented media to contain a second augmented reality representation of the three-dimensional model of the product on the second surface in the second view.

  • Publication number: 20240087251
    Abstract: A computer-implemented is disclosed. The method includes: determining a first position of a real display device in a real-world environment; receiving a request to display virtual information at a second relative position with respect to the first position in an AR version of the real-world environment; responsive to receiving the request: determining a displayable area associated with the second relative position; and causing the virtual information to be overlaid on the displayable area in the AR version of the real-world environment.

  • Publication number: 20240087267
    Abstract: A computer-implemented is disclosed. The method includes: generating an augmented reality (AR) scene that includes a virtual 3D representation of a product and a view of a first graphical user interface; monitoring user interactions with the virtual 3D representation of the product based on detected gestures of the user; determining modifications to the virtual 3D representation of the product based on the monitored user interactions; presenting, in the AR scene, a modified 3D representation of the product; converting the modified 3D representation of the product to a 2D image; and causing the 2D image to be displayed at a defined location of the first graphical user interface in AR.
