  • Publication number: 20240029148
    Abstract: Techniques for generating product images in a user's space. The techniques include: receiving, by a mobile device having a camera, information indicating a position in the user's space at which to place a proxy product model serving as a proxy for a product of a first type; generating, using augmented reality (AR), a visualization of the proxy product model, at the indicated position, in the user's space; receiving information indicating dimensions for the proxy product model; guiding, using AR, the user to capture one or more images of the user's space, with the mobile device, at one or more respective camera positions and/or orientations relative to the indicated position, in the user's space; obtaining, based on the information indicating the dimensions for the proxy product model and the one or more images of the user's space, at least one image of at least one product of the first type in the user's space; and displaying the at least one image of the at least one product.

  • Patent number: 11769308
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a mobile device configured to guide a user, via an augmented reality (AR) interface generated by the mobile device, to capture images of the physical object using a camera of the mobile device. The mobile device may be configured to obtain boundary information indicative of a boundary enclosing the physical object (e.g., a box enclosing the physical object). The mobile device may be configured to use the boundary information to determine positions from which the user is to capture images of the physical object. The mobile device may be configured to guide the user to capture the images using the AR interface by guiding the user to each of the positions in the AR interface (e.g., by generating on or more GUI elements in the AR interface that indicate a position from which the user is to capture an image).
