  • Publication number: 20230342988
    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.

  • Publication number: 20230316746
    Abstract: An augmented reality system to perform operations that include: accessing image data at a client device; determining a position of a user of the client device based on the image data; causing display of a projection that extends from the position of the user upon a presentation of the image data at the client device; detecting an intersection of the projection and a surface of an object; generating a request that includes an identification of the portion of the surface of the object at the client device; and presenting the portion of the surface of the object based on the graphical property of the projection at the client device in response to the request that includes the identification of the portion of the surface of the object.
