  • Publication number: 20240242424
    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: 20230377027
    Abstract: In an augmented reality (AR) experience, virtual content may be rendered at a particular position within a 3D spatial map and overlaid onto a view of the real-world space. There may be scenarios in which the user wants to limit a 3D model to being rendered within a particular subspace of the space defined by the 3D spatial map. Computer-implemented methods are disclosed that include receiving input defining a subspace of a 3D spatial map of a real-world space. A set of 3D models may then be filtered to identify a subset of the 3D models that fit within the subspace defined by the input. AR content including a render of a particular 3D model from the subset and overlaid onto a view of the real-world space in a position within the subspace may be output for display.
