Abstract: A system and method includes providing, by a first instance of a messaging application hosted by a game engine executing on a first client device, a user interface for messaging with a second client device; receiving first instructions to render a first three-dimensional (3D) object in the user interface of the first client device, wherein the first 3D object is initiated by a second instance of the messaging application of the second client device; rendering, by the game engine, one or more first frames to generate the first 3D object for the presentation in the user interface of the first client device based on the first instructions; and causing the presentation of the one or more first rendered frames of the first 3D object in the user interface of the first instance of the messaging application of the first client device.

Abstract: A method for authorizing an electronic device to perform an action includes detecting interaction data from an interaction between a hardware sensor and an identity-augmented tangible object; wherein data of the first set of interaction data is intrinsically dependent on physical characteristics of the identity-augmented tangible device; computing parametric descriptors from the interaction data; transmitting the parametric descriptors and supplementary data to a remote database system; generating, on the remote database system, identity data from a comparison of parametric descriptors with a known set of parametric descriptors; and authorizing, in response to both of the identity data and the supplementary data, the electronic device to perform a first action.
