Abstract: Systems and methods for generating and providing multiple, independent 3D objects in an augmented reality (AR) environment are described. One aspect of some embodiments relate to an augmented reality technology activation platform that enables the creation of interactive message 3D objects (e.g., static images, animations, product information and offers, etc.) and product 3D objects (e.g., product images, descriptions, etc.). These two types of 3D objects can be displayed at a user device so that customized, interactive messages associated with the product are displayed with the product, where the interactive messages are rendered (e.g., as a 3D object) along with the product 3D object in the same scene (e.g., as opposed to being layered on top of the 3D environment or augmented reality image).

Abstract: The present invention provides for the first time, an integrated software application architecture with all functions required by an automobile dealership, including sales, F&I (finance and insurance), accounting, HR (Human Resources)/payroll, parts, service, and E2 core (including functions in customer management, vehicle management, activity/processors, roles, user/departments, security, user interface, reports, printing, and instant messaging), together with e-business enablers, supply chain integration, and a dealer communication system. The present invention also provides relational databases, GUI's (graphical user interfaces, that is, browser based application program interfaces). The present invention also may be implemented by an operations center with a Microsoft Windows NT server providing local Ethernet or other electronic connections to several multiple remote stores for the operator, and is scalable.
