    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing a program and method for interacting with visual codes within a messaging system. The program and method provide for displaying, by a messaging application, captured image data comprising a visual code, the visual code including a custom graphic and being decodable to access a first feature of the messaging application; receiving user input selecting the visual code; displaying an updated version of the custom graphic; providing an animation which depicts the updated version of the custom graphic as moving from the visual code to an interface element comprising a group of icons, each icon within the group of icons being user-selectable to access a respective second feature of the messaging application; and updating the group of icons to include an additional icon which is user-selectable to access the first feature of the messaging application.

    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing a program and a method for generating an avatar. The program and method perform operations comprising delivering, by a messaging server, a notification to a client device that identifies a fashion item for customizing an avatar of a user; causing the notification comprising the fashion item to be displayed on the client device; receiving, by the messaging server, a request from the client device to access the fashion item; determining that the request from the client device to access the fashion item has been received prior to expiration of a scarcity parameter of the fashion item; and enabling the client device to access the fashion item in response to determining that the request from the client device has been received prior to the expiration of the scarcity parameter of the fashion item.

    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems and methods for wearable devices such as eyewear are described. According to one embodiment, the wearable device includes a body, electronics, and a connector. The body is configured to hold one or more optical elements, the body being disposable between a collapsed condition and a wearable condition in which the device is wearable by a user to hold the one or more optical elements within user view. The electronics are carried by the body. The connector is configured to enable establishment of an electrical and/or electronic connection with the electronics via the connector, the connector being housed by the body such that the connector is substantially obscured from view when the body is in the wearable condition, and such that the connector is exposed for connective access when the body is in the collapsed condition.

    Abstract: Systems and methods of generating ground truth datasets for producing virtual reality (VR) experiences, for testing simulated sensor configurations, and for training machine-learning algorithms. In one example, a recording device with one or more cameras and one or more inertial measurement units captures images and motion data along a real path through a physical environment. A SLAM application uses the captured data to calculate the trajectory of the recording device. A polynomial interpolation module uses Chebyshev polynomials to generate a continuous time trajectory (CTT) function. The method includes identifying a virtual environment and assembling a simulated sensor configuration, such as a VR headset. Using the CTT function, the method includes generating a ground truth output dataset that represents the simulated sensor configuration in motion along a virtual path through the virtual environment. The virtual path is closely correlated with the motion along the real path as captured by the recording device. Accordingly, the output dataset produces a realistic and life-like VR experience. In addition, the methods described can be used to generate multiple output datasets, at various sample rates, which are useful for training the machine-learning algorithms which are part of many VR systems.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer readable media for a service manger to manage services on a wearable device are disclosed. The service manager remains active in memory and listens for requests for services. The service manager then determines which services to run and which to stop to respond to the requests for services. After running a service, the service manager calls the service to respond to the request and sends a response to the request to the sender of the request. The service manager may be resident on a different processor than a processor from which the requests for services originate. The service manager maintains priorities of the services to determine which services to stop or remove from memory.
