  • Patent number: 12348387
    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for performing generating AR experiences on a messaging platform. The methods and systems receive, from a client device, a request to access an augmented reality (AR) experience and access a list of event types associated with the AR experience used to generate one or more metrics. The methods and systems determine that an interaction associated with the AR experience corresponds to a first event type of the list of event types and generates interaction data for the first event type representing the interaction. In response to receiving a request to terminate the AR experience, the systems and methods transmit the interaction data to a remote server.

  • Publication number: 20250156047
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system and a method for performing operations comprising: receiving, by a client device implementing a messaging application, a request to access a display of a plurality of augmented reality experiences; retrieving a plurality of identifiers of each of the plurality of augmented reality experiences; determining that a given augmented reality experience of the plurality of augmented reality experiences is associated with an access restriction; modifying a given identifier of the plurality of identifiers associated with the given augmented reality experience in response to determining that the given augmented reality experience is associated with the access restriction; and generating, for display on the client device, a graphical user interface that includes the plurality of identifiers comprising the modified given identifier.

  • Publication number: 20240161350
    Abstract: The subject technology selects a set of augmented reality content generators from a plurality of available augmented reality content generators, the selected set of augmented reality content generators comprising at least one augmented reality content generator for providing augmented reality content based on a product. The subject technology causes display of a carousel interface comprising selectable graphical items, each selectable graphical item corresponding to a respective augmented reality content generator. The subject technology receives, at a client device, a selection of a first selectable graphical item from the plurality of selectable graphical items. The subject technology applies, to first image data, the first augmented reality content generator corresponding to the selected first selectable graphical item. The subject technology causes a display of second image data, the second image data include including the applied first augmented reality content generator to the first image data.
