Abstract: A redundant tracking system comprising multiple redundant tracking sub-systems, enabling seamless transitions between such tracking sub-systems, provides a solution to this problem by merging multiple tracking approaches into a single tracking system. This system is able to combine tracking objects with six degrees of freedom (6DoF) and 3DoF through combining and transitioning between multiple tracking systems based on the availability of tracking indicia tracked by the tracking systems. Thus, as the indicia tracked by any one tracking system becomes unavailable, the redundant tracking system seamlessly switches between tracking in 6DoF and 3DoF thereby providing the user with an uninterrupted experience.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for receiving a two-dimensional (2D) image comprising a 2D object; identifying a contour of the 2D object; generating a three-dimensional (3D) mesh based on the contour of the 2D object; and applying a texture of the 2D object to the 3D mesh to output a 3D object representing the 2D object.

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.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for performing operations comprising: displaying one or more virtual objects on an eyewear device; detecting, by a camera of the eyewear device, a hand within view of the eyewear device; determining that a first finger of the hand is oriented along a same direction as the one or more virtual objects that are displayed; detecting movement of a second finger of the hand relative to the first finger; and controlling the display of the one or more virtual objects in response to detecting movement of the second finger to the first finger.

Abstract: A messaging system, which hosts a backend service for an associated messaging client application, includes a voice notes system that addresses the technical problem of serving an audio message to the recipient in a manner that permits the recipient to consume the message in a text format as a transcription. A chat user interface (UI) provided with the voice notes system permits a user to play an audio message or request generation of the transcription of the audio message on-demand to prevent unnecessary cluttering of the UI real estate.

Abstract: The subject technology receives, at a client device, a selection of a selectable graphical item from a plurality of selectable graphical items, the selectable graphical item comprising an augmented reality content generator including a 3D effect. The subject technology applies, to image data and depth data, the 3D effect based at least in part on the augmented reality content generator, the applying the 3D effect. The subject technology generates a depth map using at least the depth data, generates a segmentation mask based at least on the image data, and performs background inpainting and blurring of the image data using at least the segmentation mask to generate background inpainted image data. The subject technology generates a 3D message based at least in part on the applied 3D effect.
