  • Publication number: 20190102952
    Abstract: Certain embodiments involve enhancing personalization of a virtual-commerce environment by identifying an augmented-reality visual of the virtual-commerce environment. For example, a system obtains a data set that indicates a plurality of augmented-reality visuals generated in a virtual-commerce environment and provided for view by a user. The system obtains data indicating a triggering user input that corresponds to a predetermined user input provideable by the user as the user views an augmented-reality visual of the plurality of augmented-reality visuals. The system obtains data indicating a user input provided by the user. The system compares the user input to the triggering user input to determine a correspondence (e.g., a similarity) between the user input and the triggering user input. The system identifies a particular augmented-reality visual of the plurality of augmented-reality visuals that is viewed by the user based on the correspondence and stores the identified augmented-reality visual.

  • Publication number: 20180260843
    Abstract: This disclosure generally covers systems and methods that identify objects within an augmented reality (“AR”) scene (received from a user) to gather information concerning the user's physical environment or physical features and to recommend products. In particular, the disclosed systems and methods detect characteristics of multiple objects shown within an AR scene received from a user and, based on the detected characteristics, select products to recommend to the user. When analyzing characteristics, in some embodiments, the disclosed systems and methods determine visual characteristics associated with the real object or virtual object, such as color or location of an object. The disclosed systems and methods, in some embodiments, then select an endorsed product to recommend for use with the real object—based on the determined visual characteristics—and create a product recommendation that recommends the endorsed product.

  • Publication number: 20180121988
    Abstract: Provided are methods and techniques for providing a product recommendation to a user using augmented reality. A product recommendation system determines a user viewpoint, the viewpoint including an augmented product positioned in a camera image of the user's surroundings. Based on the viewpoint, the product recommendation system determines the position of the augmented product in the viewpoint and the similarity between the augmented product and other candidate products that are similar to the augmented product. The product recommendation system then creates a set of recommendation images, each recommendation image including an image of the candidate product that is substituted for the augmented product in the viewpoint. The product recommendation system can then evaluate the recommendation images based on overall color compatibility. Based on the evaluation, for example, the product recommendation system selects a recommendation image that is provided to the user.
