  • Publication number: 20230072889
    Abstract: In various example embodiments, a system and method for facilitating display of virtual content are presented. A session that displays two-dimensional (2D) content of one or more items available for sale is presented on a first device of a user. A second device of the user is detected, the second device being able to display three-dimensional (3D) content of the one or more items available for sale. 3D content of the one or more items available for sale is retrieved. Display of the 3D content on the second device is caused, the 3D content selectable by the user to perform interactions with the 3D content. An indication of the user performed interactions is received and processed. A result that depicts the user performed interactions as being processed is displayed on the first device of the user.

  • Patent number: 9229674
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and media for optimizing and facilitating 3D printing services in a marketplace environment are provided. In one example, a system comprises a memory and at least one module, executing on one or more computer processors, to host or participate in a 3D printing service marketplace environment including marketplace participants and a federated network of 3D printing service providers. The at least one module receives a 3D printing request from a marketplace participant to print a 3D object at a 3D printing service provider, and communicates with at least some of the federated network of 3D printer service providers within the marketplace environment. In response to the received request, the at least one module lists at least some of the 3D printing service providers based on a 3D printer identifier metric.

  • Publication number: 20150221053
    Abstract: Systems, methods and media for managing digital rights in a 3D printing service marketplace environment are provided. In one example, a system comprises a memory and at least one module, executing on one or more computer processors to host or participate in a 3D printing service marketplace environment which includes marketplace participants. The marketplace participants include at least one 3D printing service provider. The module is further to receive a request from a marketplace participant to print a 3D object at a 3D printing service provider and receive an authorization from an owner of digital rights in the 3D object to print the 3D object. Based on a received authorization, the module transmits instructions to a 3D printing service provider to print the 3D object.

  • Publication number: 20150220748
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and media for authorizing 3D printing services in a marketplace environment are provided. In one example, a system comprises a computing device that implements a 3D printing marketplace component. The marketplace component comprises a merchant unit, a transaction unit, a consumer unit, and a digital rights authorization unit which cooperatively act to receive a request from a consumer for a 3D printing task, rank a plurality of 3D printing service providers based on an availability or a suitability to fulfil the 3D printing task, and facilitate the authorization of performance of the 3D printing task based on a grant of digital rights associated with the digital model or object.
