  • Patent number: 9443353
    Abstract: In some embodiments, methods and systems are provided for assisting a user in visualizing how a modified real-world setting would appear. An imaging device may capture a plurality of images of one or more objects or settings. A three-dimensional model of each object or setting may be created based on the images. These models may then be used to create a realistic image of a modified setting. For example, an image may display a setting (e.g., a living room) with an additional object (e.g., a couch) in the setting. The image may be realistic, in that it may accurately represent dimensions of the object relative to dimensions in the setting. Because three-dimensional models were created for both the setting and object, a user may be able to manipulate the image to, e.g., re-position and/or re-orient the object within the setting and view the setting from different perspectives.

  • Publication number: 20130201210
    Abstract: In some embodiments, first information indicative of an image of a scene is accessed. One or more reference features are detected, the reference features being associated with a reference object in the image. A transformation between an image space and a real-world space is determined based on the first information. Second information indicative of input from a user is accessed, the second information identifying an image-space distance in the image space corresponding to a real-world distance of interest in the real-world space. The real-world distance of interest is then estimated based on the second information and the determined transformation.

  • Publication number: 20120330830
    Abstract: A method and system for creating and managing a stored value account associated with a client device is disclosed. A first stored value and an associated first virtual token may be created. A graphical representation of the first virtual token may be displayed on a display of a client device. An exchange request may be received, and a second stored value account may be created along with an associated second virtual token. Next, an animation that includes a transition from the first virtual token to the second virtual token may be displayed on the display of the client device. The animation may include a peel-off effect in which the first virtual token appears to curl away to reveal the second virtual token when the first virtual token has been exchanged for the second virtual token.
