Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for generating AR experiences on a messaging platform. The methods and systems establish a shared augmented reality (AR) experience across a plurality of client devices and receive, from a first client device of the plurality of client devices, a request to perform a real-time interaction with a given AR element that is presented on displays of the plurality of client devices. In response to receiving the request, the methods and system enable the first client device to perform one or more modifications to the given AR element while preventing a second of the plurality of client devices from performing real-time interactions with the given AR element. The method and system synchronize the one or more modifications of the given AR element performed by the first client device across each of the plurality of client devices in real time.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for performing generating AR experiences on a messaging platform. The methods and systems perform operations including: receiving, from a client device, a request to access an AR experience; in response to receiving the request, loading a first AR element of the AR experience without loading a second AR element of the AR experience; determining that a condition associated with the second AR element is satisfied; and in response to determining that the condition associated with the second AR element is satisfied: retrieving, by the client device, the second AR element from a server; and loading the second AR element for presentation on the client device.
