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.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the triggering user input corresponds to user input indicating a request for information associated with a virtual object in a virtual-reality visual of the plurality of augmented-reality visuals.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

identifying, by the processor, a group of augmented-reality visuals based on the user input and the triggering user input;

obtaining, by the processor, accelerometer data associated with each identified augmented-reality visual; and

identifying, by the processor, a subset of the identified group of augmented-reality visuals based on a comparison of the accelerometer data associated with each identified augmented-reality visual and a threshold accelerometer value.

7. A system comprising:

a processing device; and

a non-transitory computer-readable medium communicatively coupled to the processing device, wherein the processing device is configured to perform operations comprising:

obtaining data indicating a plurality of augmented-reality visuals generated in a virtual-commerce environment and provided for view by a user;

obtaining data indicating a triggering user input detectable by the processing device, the triggering user input indicating a predetermined user input provideable by the user as the user views an augmented-reality visual of the plurality of augmented-reality visuals;

obtaining data indicating a user input provided by the user;

determining a correspondence or a lack of correspondence between the user input and the triggering user input based on a comparison of the data indicating the user input and the data indicating the triggering user input, the correspondence indicating a match between the triggering user input and the user input;

responsive to a determination of the lack of correspondence between the user input and the triggering user input, determining an epoch time that indicates a particular time that the user is likely to provide user input corresponding to the triggering user input;

identifying a particular augmented-reality visual of the plurality of augmented-reality visuals that is viewed by the user at or nearest to the epoch time; and

storing the identified augmented-reality visual.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the processing device is further configured to determine the epoch time by training a machine-learning algorithm usable to predict the epoch time using the data indicating the plurality of augmented-reality visuals, the data indicating the triggering user input, and the data indicating the user input.

9. The system of claim 7 , wherein the processing device is further configured to identify the particular augmented-reality visual by identifying the particular augmented-reality visual of the plurality of augmented-reality visuals in response to determining the correspondence between the user input and the triggering user input.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the processing device is further configured to identify the particular augmented-reality visual by identifying, in response to determining the correspondence, the particular augmented-reality visual provided to the user at a time associated with the user input.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the processing device is further configured to identify the particular augmented-reality visual generated and provided to the user at the time associated with the user input by:
