Abstract: In one embodiment, a method may include running, by a computing device, an augmented-reality design editor for designing augmented-reality effects. A video with a first visual object may be displayed within a graphical user interface of the augmented-reality design editor. One or more trackers may be associated with the first visual object in response to a first input from a user. An augmented-reality object may be added in real-time into the graphical user interface of the augmented-reality design editor in response to a second input and may be associated with the one or more trackers in response to a third input. The first visual object and the augmented-reality object may move according to movements of the one or more tracker. Information defining relationships between the first visual object, the augmented-reality object, and the one or more trackers may be stored in one or more files.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for designing an augmented-reality effect may include displaying a virtual object in a 3D space of a user interface comprising a first and second display areas, wherein the virtual object is displayed from a first perspective in the first display area and displayed from a second perspective in the second display area, the second perspective being different from the first perspective, receiving, via the user interface, instructions to adjust the virtual object, adjusting the virtual object according to the instructions, and displaying the adjusted virtual object in the 3D space of the user interface, wherein the adjusted virtual object is displayed from the first perspective in the first display area and displayed from the second perspective in the second display area.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for designing an augmented-reality effect may include associating, by a computing device, a first visual object with a first rendering order specified by a user. A second visual object may be associated with a second rendering order specified by the user. The first and second visual objects may be defined in a three-dimensional space. Information associated with the first visual object, the first rendering order, the second visual object, and the second rendering order may be stored in one or more files. The one or more files may be configured to cause the first visual object and the second visual object to be rendered sequentially in an order determined based on the first rendering order and the second rendering order. The first visual object and the second visual object may be rendered to generate a scene in the three-dimensional space.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes displaying, on a client system, a visual scene with one or more first objects and one or more second objects. The one or more second objects are associated with an augmented reality context. A first touch event handler, associated with an operating system running on the client system, may receive a set of touch events and send the set of touch events to a second touch event handler running on the client system. The second touch event handler may detect a first subset of touch events relating to the one or more second objects. The second touch event handler may process the first subset of touch events and send a second subset of touch events relating to the one or more first objects to the first touch event handler. The first touch event handler may process the second subset of touch events.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for designing an augmented-reality effect may include receiving a model definition of a virtual object. The virtual object may be rendered in a 3D space based on the model definition. The system may display the virtual object in the 3D space from a first perspective in a first display area of a user interface. The system may display the virtual object in the 3D space from a second perspective, different from the first, in a second display area of the user interface. The system may receive a user command input by a user through the first display area for adjusting the virtual object. The virtual object may be adjusted according to the user command. The system may display the adjusted virtual object in the 3D space from the first perspective in the first display area and from the second perspective in the second display area.
