  • Publication number: 20240119678
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system for presenting AR items. The system receives a video that includes a depiction of a real-world object in a real-world environment. The system generates a three-dimensional (3D) bounding box for the real-world object and stabilizes the 3D bounding box based on one or more sensors of the device. The system determines a position, orientation, and dimensions of the real-world object based on the stabilized 3D bounding box and renders a display of an augmented reality (AR) item within the video based on the position, orientation, and dimensions of the real-world object.

  • Publication number: 20240112314
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system for performing real-time in-painting using machine learning techniques. The system receives a video that includes a depiction of a real-world object in a real-world environment. The system accesses a segmentation associated with the real-world object and removes a depiction of the real-world object from a region of a first frame of the video. The system processes, by a machine learning model, the first frame and one or more previous frames of the video that precede the first frame to generate a new frame in which portions of the first frame have been blended into the region from which the depiction of the real-world object has been removed.

    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system for presenting AR items. The system performs operations including receiving a video that includes a depiction of one or more real-world objects in a real-world environment and obtaining depth data related to the real-world environment. The operations include generating a three-dimensional (3D) model of the real-world environment based on the video and the depth data and adding an augmented reality (AR) item to the video based on the 3D model of the real-world environment. The operations include determining that the AR item has been placed on a vertical plane of the real-world environment and modifying an orientation of the AR item to correspond to an orientation of the vertical plane.

  • Publication number: 20240037858
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system for providing AR experiences. The system accesses, by a messaging application, an image depicting a real-world fashion item of a user and generates a three-dimensional (3D) virtual fashion item based on the real-world fashion item depicted in the image. The system stores the 3D virtual fashion item in a database that includes a virtual wardrobe comprising a plurality of 3D virtual fashion items associated with the user. The system generates, by the messaging application, an augmented reality (AR) experience that allows the user to interact with the virtual wardrobe.

  • Patent number: 11887260
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system for presenting augmented reality (AR) items. The system performs operations including receiving a video that includes a depiction of a real-world environment and generating a 3D model of the real-world environment based on the video. The operations include determining, based on the 3D model of the real-world environment, that an AR item has been placed in the video at a particular 3D position and identifying a portion of the 3D model corresponding to the real-world environment currently being displayed on a screen. The operations include determining that the 3D position of the AR item is excluded from the portion of the 3D model currently being displayed on the screen and in response, displaying an indicator that identifies the 3D position of the AR item in the 3D model relative to the portion of the 3D model currently being displayed on a screen.

  • Publication number: 20240007585
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system for providing virtual experiences. The system accesses an image depicting a person and one or more camera parameters representing a viewpoint associated with a camera used to capture the image. The system extracts a portion of the image comprising the depiction of the person. The system processes, by a neural radiance field (NeRF) machine learning model, the one or more camera parameters to render an estimated depiction of a scene from the viewpoint associated with the camera used to capture the image. The system combines the portion of the image comprising the depiction of the person with the estimated depiction of the scene to generate an output image and causes the output image to be presented on a client device.
