Abstract: Introduced here are techniques for incentivizing the consumption of foodstuffs through the use of augmented reality features. A parent may initiate an application on a mobile phone and scan a plate of one or more foodstuffs by initiating a live view captured by a camera. The parent can then select a given foodstuff that a child is unlikely to consume. When the child views the given foodstuff through the mobile phone, a portion of an augmented reality feature could be shown. For example, the child may be able to see the tail of a creature, a corner of a item, etc. As the child consumes the given foodstuff, additional portion(s) of the augmented reality feature are exposed, and the augmented reality feature becomes increasingly visible. Such a technique incentivizes the child to continue eating the given foodstuff so that the augmented reality feature can be fully seen.

Abstract: Introduced here are computer programs and computer-implemented techniques for facilitating the placement of augmented reality features in close proximity to a variety of real-world objects, such as tableware objects, drinkware objects, etc. By placing a reference object in a real-world environment, physical objects can be made more recognizable/useful within in the context of augmented reality. For example, a pattern may be printed along the surface of a real-world object to facilitate in the cropping, positioning, and/or animating of an augmented reality feature. Additionally or alternatively, a removable item may be placed on the surface of a real-world object to define a reference orientation.
