    Abstract: The present disclosure relates, in part, to spatially aware media that includes three-dimensional (3D) spatial information pertaining to a real-world space. The spatially aware media may map this 3D spatial information to media such as an image, for example, to provide 3D spatial context for the media. This may allow users to more flexibly and efficiently interact with virtual content in real-world spaces that are relevant to them. According to one embodiment, spatially aware media is augmented to provide an image of a real-world space overlaid with a render of a 3D model defined relative to the 3D spatial features of the real-world space. Before augmenting the spatially aware media, a recommended position for the 3D model relative to the 3D spatial features of the real-world space may be determined based on the 3D model and/or on the spatially aware media.

    Abstract: Generating and storing product media can be resource intensive processes. Some systems and methods disclosed herein relate to rapidly and/or automatically generating a three-dimensional (3D) composite model to help improve the generation of product media and/or to help reduce product media storage requirements. The 3D composite model may correspond to a product bundle. According to an embodiment, an indication of items associated with a product bundle is obtained. Pre-existing 3D models corresponding to the items are then obtained and used to generate a 3D composite model. The 3D composite model includes representations of the items and may be implemented to provide product media depicting the product bundle.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for the generation of augmented reality (AR) content that provides a shared AR experience involving multiple users. Shared AR experiences can improve the communication and collaboration between multiple simultaneous users. According to an embodiment, AR content is generated for a first user in a shared AR experience. The AR content includes at least one of a render of a model, a virtual representation of a second user in the shared AR experience, a virtual representation of a user interaction in the shared AR experience, and spatial audio content. Modifications to a shared AR experience are also provided. These modifications may be initiated based on instructions from one user and be reflected in the AR content generated for multiple users.

    Abstract: Generating and storing digital media can be resource intensive processes. Some systems and methods disclosed herein relate to generating digital media using a pre-existing three-dimensional (3D) model of an object and feature points of the object. According to an embodiment, a method includes an e-commerce platform receiving a request for digital media depicting an object. In response to the request, the e-commerce platform may obtain a 3D model corresponding to the object and data pertaining to one or more feature points of the object. The one or more feature points may correspond to respective views of the 3D model. The e-commerce platform may then generate the digital media based on the 3D model and the one or more feature points, where the digital media could include renders of the 3D model depicting the one or more feature points.

    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods are provided for augmented reality-assisted assessment of three-dimensional (3D) fit of physical objects within a physical environment in different positions. According to an embodiment, an augmented reality (AR) device obtains 3D dimensions of a virtual object representative of a real-world physical object and displays a 3D representation of the virtual object in an AR space depicted by a user interface of the AR device that is representative of a real-world physical environment in a field of view of the AR device. The 3D representation of the virtual object is proportionally dimensioned relative to the physical environment based on the obtained 3D dimensions of the virtual object and the virtual object is repositionable in the AR space responsive to input received by the AR device to allow assessment of 3D fit of the virtual object within the physical environment in different positions.

    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for augmenting a customer image with at least one virtual object. One or more customer images depicting a customer environment are received from a customer computing device and 3D feature data for the customer images is determined. A virtual object is determined which corresponds to a desired merchant item. A positioning signal is received which corresponds to a desired location of virtual object in the customer environment, and a corresponding first location in each customer image at which to overlay the virtual object using the positioning signal is determined. An appropriate size and orientation of the virtual object is determined for each customer image based on corresponding 3D feature data, causing an overlay of an appropriately sized and oriented virtual object at the corresponding first location in customer images.

    Abstract: Once AR content associated with a physical object is generated and displayed on the screen of a user device (e.g., a smartphone), various changes, such as movement or partial occlusion of the object, may affect the user device's view of the object. This may result in glitching or disappearance of the AR content. Additionally, the AR content may hinder a user's view of certain areas of interest of the object. In some embodiments, an intelligently responsive AR system may be implemented. Upon detection of a physical object, the AR system may display a first UI having AR content in a first layout. In response to a change affecting the user device's view of the object, the AR system may display a second UI, having AR content arranged in a second layout. The first and second layouts may be arranged to prevent masking any areas of interest on the object.
