  • Publication number: 20260087722
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses disclosed herein can map content items onto a venue using rendering-based, replication-based, and region-based mappings. In rendering-based mapping, multiple renderings of the content items are captured from multiple locations. In replication-based mapping, a single rendering is captured from one location and replicated across the venue. In region-based mapping, the venue is divided into distinct three-dimensional physical surfaces, and content items is mapped onto each region, optionally using virtual representations, transformations, and virtual texture maps to ensure geometric, photometric, and spatial coherence across the surfaces.

  • Publication number: 20260038202
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses disclosed herein can process a three-dimensional model of an object in a three-dimensional space to display the object on a real-world structure. These systems, methods, and apparatuses can access the three-dimensional model of the object, generate a three-dimensional reflection model of the object, and/or provide the three-dimensional reflection model of the object to the real-world structure to display the object on the real-world structure. Alternatively, or additionally, these systems, methods, and apparatuses can transform the three-dimensional reflection model of the object onto a two-dimensional reflection model of the object and/or provide the two-dimensional reflection model of the object to the real-world structure to display the object on the real-world structure.
