  • Patent number: 11010968
    Abstract: In various example embodiments, a system and methods are presented for generation and manipulation of three dimensional (3D) models. The system and methods cause presentation of an interface frame encompassing a field of view of an image capture device. The systems and methods detect an object of interest within the interface frame, generate a movement instruction with respect to the object of interest, and detect a first change in position and a second change in position of the object of interest. The systems and methods generate a 3D model of the object of interest based on the first change in position and the second change in position.

  • Publication number: 20200334916
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program, and a method for rendering three-dimensional virtual objects within real-world environments. Virtual rendering of a three-dimensional virtual object can be altered appropriately as a user moves around the object in the real-world through utilization of a redundant tracking system comprising multiple tracking sub-systems. Virtual object rendering can be with respect to a reference surface in a real-world three-dimensional space depicted in a camera view of a mobile computing device.

  • Publication number: 20200213534
    Abstract: Systems, devices, media and methods are presented for presentation of modified objects within a video stream. The systems and methods select an object of interest depicted within a user interface based on an associated image modifier, determine a modifier context based at least in part on one or more characteristics of the selected object, identify a set of image modifiers based on the modifier context, rank a first portion of the identified set of image modifiers based on a primary ordering characteristic, rank a second portion of the identified set of image modifiers based on a secondary ordering characteristic and cause presentation of the modifier icons for the ranked set of image modifiers.

  • Patent number: 10623666
    Abstract: Systems, devices, media, and methods are presented for presentation of modified objects within a video stream. The systems and methods receive a selection at a user interface of a computing device and determine a modifier context based at least in part on the selection and a position within the user interface. The systems and methods identify at least one set of modifiers based on the modifier context. The systems and methods determine an order for the set of modifiers based on the modifier context and cause presentation of modifier icons for the set of modifiers within the user interface.

  • Patent number: 10445936
    Abstract: Systems, devices, media, and methods are presented for generating responsive augmented reality elements in a graphical user interface. The systems and methods receive a video stream having one or more frames containing image data and audio data. The systems and methods identify a set of coordinates within a portion of the one or more frames and identify one or more audio characteristics within the audio data of the video stream. In response to the one or more audio characteristics, the systems and methods generate one or more graphical interface elements and detect a change in the audio data within the video stream. The systems and methods modify the one or more graphical interface elements in a second portion of the video stream in response to the change in the audio data.
