Abstract

Example embodiments described herein relate to an augmented-reality system to generate and cause display of interactive augmented reality content at a client device.

Claims (52)

1. A method comprising:

causing display of a presentation of an environment within a graphical user interface at a client device, the presentation of the environment including a display of an object that comprises an attribute;

determining a context associated with the client device, the context including a number of client devices within a threshold distance of the client device;

accessing a mesh model from among a plurality of mesh models based on the context;

generating a texture map based on the attribute of the object displayed within the presentation of the environment; and

causing display of Augmented-Reality (AR) content within the presentation of the environment based on the texture map and the mesh model.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

identifying the object based on the display of the object.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the identifying the object includes:

accessing location data that identifies a location of the client device; and

identifying the object based on the location of the client device and the attribute of the object.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the context is based on user profile data associated with the client device.

5. The method of claim 1 ; wherein the determining the context associated with the client device is based on temporal data.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving an input that comprises an input attribute; and

displaying the AR content based on the input attribute of the input.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the input attribute includes a directional component.

8. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a machine; cause the machine to perform operations comprising:

causing display of a presentation of an environment within a graphical user interface at a client device, the presentation of the environment including a display of an object that comprises an attribute;

determining a context associated with the client device, the context including a number of client devices within a threshold distance of the client device;

accessing a mesh model from among a plurality of mesh models based on the context;

generating a texture map based on the attribute of the object displayed within the presentation of the environment; and

causing display of Augmented-Reality (AR) content within the presentation of the environment based on the texture map and the mesh model.

9. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 8 , further comprising:

identifying the object based on the display of the object.

10. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the identifying the object includes:

accessing location data that identifies a location of the client device; and

identifying the object based on the location of the client device and the attribute of the object.

11. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the context is based on user profile data associated with the client device.

12. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the determining the context associated with the client device is based on temporal data.

13. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 8 , further comprising:

receiving an input that comprises an input attribute; and

displaying the AR content based on the input attribute of the input.

14. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the input attribute includes a directional component.

15. A system comprising:

a memory; and

at least one hardware processor coupled to the memory and comprising instructions that causes the system to perform operations comprising:

causing display of a presentation of an environment within a graphical user interface at a client device, the presentation of the environment including a display of an object that comprises an attribute;

determining a context associated with the client device, the context including a number of client devices within a threshold distance of the client device;

accessing a mesh model from among a plurality of mesh models based on the context;

generating a texture map based on the attribute of the object displayed within the presentation of the environment; and

causing display of Augmented-Reality (AR) content within the presentation of the environment based on the texture map and the mesh model.

16. The system of claim 15 , further comprising:

identifying the object based on the display of the object.

17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the identifying the object includes:

accessing location data that identifies a location of the client device; and

identifying the object based on the location of the client device and the attribute of the object.

18. The system of claim 15 , wherein the context is based on user profile data associated with the client device.

19. The system of claim 15 , wherein the determining the context associated with the client device is based on temporal data.

20. The system of claim 15 , further comprising:

receiving an input that comprises an input attribute; and

displaying the AR content based on the input attribute of the input.
