Abstract

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media are configured to perform operations comprising providing a plurality of avatar poses associated with a user, receiving a selection of an avatar pose from the user, and generating an avatar sticker comprising the avatar pose.

Claims (40)

1 . A computer-implemented method comprising:

providing, by a computing system, a plurality of avatar poses associated with a user;

receiving, by the computing system, a selection of an avatar pose from the user;

generating, by the computing system, an avatar sticker comprising the avatar pose;

generating a social media post including the avatar sticker, wherein text, a font, and a background for the social media post are selected by the user;

wherein the background is an image captured by a camera of a device;

determining a captured selfie image of the user; and

generating an avatar with a pose corresponding to a pose of the user in the captured selfie image.

2 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the avatar sticker further comprises at least one prop selected by the user.

3 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the avatar pose reflects a facial expression and a body gesture of the user.

4 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the avatar sticker is a pre-generated avatar sticker from a listing of pre-generated avatar stickers not customized by the user.

5 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the avatar sticker was customized by the user.

6 . The computer-implemented method of claim 5 , further comprising:

storing the avatar sticker; and

providing for the user a listing of avatar stickers comprising the avatar sticker.

7 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the avatar sticker comprises a first panel and a second panel, wherein the first panel displays an avatar in a first pose and the second panel displays the avatar in a second pose.

8 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the pose includes a body gesture of the user in the captured selfie image and a facial expression of the user in the captured selfie image.

9 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the image is captured in real-time.

10 . A system comprising:

at least one processor; and

a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to perform operations comprising:

providing a plurality of avatar poses associated with a user;

receiving a selection of an avatar pose from the user;

generating an avatar sticker comprising the avatar pose;

generating a social media post including the avatar sticker, wherein text, a font, and a background for the social media post are selected by the user;

wherein the background is an image captured by a camera of a device;

determining a captured selfie image of the user; and

generating an avatar with a pose corresponding to a pose of the user in the captured selfie image.

11 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the avatar sticker further comprises at least one prop selected by the user.

12 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the avatar pose reflects a facial expression and a body gesture of the user.

13 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing system, cause the computing system to perform operations comprising:

providing a plurality of avatar poses associated with a user;

receiving a selection of an avatar pose from the user;

generating an avatar sticker comprising the avatar pose;

generating a social media post including the avatar sticker, wherein text, a font, and a background for the social media post are selected by the user;

wherein the background is an image captured by a camera of a device;

determining a captured selfie image of the user; and

generating an avatar with a pose corresponding to a pose of the user in the captured selfie image.

14 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the avatar sticker further comprises at least one prop selected by the user.

15 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the avatar pose reflects a facial expression and a body gesture of the user.
