Abstract

A system for providing an augmented reality experience, including: a processor with a network connection; a display; and a camera, wherein the processor is configured to: read a first QR code from a user device using the camera; send a session identifier extracted from the QR code to a server; receive user input from a user device selecting individuals; select media content from a media library based on the received user input; combine live content of the user from the camera with the media content; display the combined content on the display; capture an image of the combined medial content and live content on the display; and output the captured image.

Claims (53)

1. A system for providing an augmented reality experience, comprising:

a processor with a network connection;

a display; and

a camera,

wherein the processor is configured to:

read a first QR code from a user device using the camera;

send a session identifier extracted from the QR code to a server;

receive user input from a user device selecting individuals;

select media content from a media library based on the received user input;

combine live content of the user from the camera with the media content;

display the combined content on the display;

capture an image of the combined medial content and live content on the display; and

output the captured image.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to add personalized content to the captured image including the media content and the live content.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein receiving user input from a user device selecting individuals includes reading a second QR code from the user device using the camera.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein receiving user input from a user device selecting individuals is received from the server and wherein the user input is input on a user device and communicated to the server by the user device.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to display instructions to the user to position themselves.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to capture a video clip of the combined media content and live content on the display and to output the captured video clip.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to

receive a user input regarding a message delivery method, and

send a message to the user using the received message delivery method providing the location to view and download the captured image.

8. A method performed by a user device for providing an augmented reality experience with a kiosk, comprising:

receiving input information associated with the augmented reality experience at the kiosk;

presenting a display to a user on the user device requesting user information;

receiving user information;

transmitting the user information to a server;

generating a first QR code based upon the user information;

displaying the first QR code on the user device;

presenting a user interface displaying a plurality of individuals;

receiving user input selecting a set of the plurality of individuals; and

transmitting the set of selected individuals to the kiosk.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein receiving input information associated with the augmented reality experience at the kiosk includes receiving a URL input by the user.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein receiving input information associated with the augmented reality experience at the kiosk includes scanning a second QR code.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the user information includes one of a user name, a user email address, and a user phone number.

12. The method of claim 8 , wherein the first QR code includes an identifier for the user that was sent to the server.

13. The method of claim 8 , wherein transmitting the set of selected individuals to the kiosk includes transmitting the set of selecting individuals to the server.

14. The method of claim 8 , wherein transmitting the set of selected individuals to the kiosk includes generating a second QR code indicating the set of selected individuals and displaying the second QR code on the user device.

15. The method of claim 8 , further comprising receiving a messaging method input from the user indicating the users selected messaging method and transmitting the messaging method input to the server.

16. The method of claim 15 , further comprising receiving a message with a link to an image generated by the kiosk.

17. The method of claim 16 , further comprising receiving a user input selecting the link and displaying the image generated by the kiosk.

18. The method of claim 8 , wherein the steps of receiving input information associated with the augmented reality experience at the kiosk, presenting a display to a user on the user device requesting user information, receiving user information, and transmitting the user information to a server occur while the user is waiting to access the kiosk.

19. The method of claim 8 , further comprising the user selecting one of the plurality of individuals and displaying an animation of selected individual.

20. A system for providing an augmented reality experience, comprising:

a processor with a network connection;

a display; and

a camera,

wherein the processor is configured to:

select media content from a media library based on a user selection signal;

combine live content from the camera with the media content

displaying the combined content on the display;

capture an image of the combined medial content and live content on the screen;

add personalized content to the captured image including the media content and the live content; and

output the captured image with the added personalized content, wherein the media content corresponds to a predetermined entertainment theme and the live content includes an image of a user posing live at a screen position relative to the media content, the media content including display of one or more persons selected by the user selection signal, and wherein the personalized content includes a personal feature corresponding to the user.
