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 (53)

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 at a position within the environment, the object comprising an attribute;

generating a texture map based on the attribute of the object;

causing display of interactive content based on the position of the object, the interactive content comprising a first end, a second end, and a repeatable segment located between the first end and the second end; and

applying the texture map to at least the repeatable segment of the interactive content.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:

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 the location of the client device and the attribute of the object.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the generating the texture map includes:

accessing contextual data associated with the client device; and

generating the texture map based on the contextual data and the attribute of the object.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the contextual data includes user profile data.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the contextual data includes temporal data.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:

receiving an input that comprises a directional component; and

displaying the interactive content based on the directional component of the input.

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 at a position within the environment, the object comprising an attribute;

generating a texture map based on the attribute of the object;

causing display of interactive content based on the position of the object, the interactive content comprising a first end, a second end, and a repeatable segment located between the first end and the second end; and

applying the texture map to at least the repeatable segment of the interactive content.

9. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise:

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 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 generating the texture map includes:

accessing contextual data associated with the client device; and

generating the texture map based on the contextual data and the attribute of the object.

12. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the contextual data includes user profile data.

13. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the contextual data includes temporal data.

14. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the method further comprises:

receiving an input that comprises a directional component; and

displaying the interactive content based on the directional component of the input.

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 at a position within the environment, the object comprising an attribute;

generating a texture map based on the attribute of the object;

causing display of interactive content based on the position of the object, the interactive content comprising a first end, a second end, and a repeatable segment located between the first end and the second end; and

applying the texture map to at least the repeatable segment of the interactive content.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise:

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 the location of the client device and the attribute of the object.

18. The system of claim 15 , wherein the generating the texture map includes:

accessing contextual data associated with the client device; and

generating the texture map based on the contextual data and the attribute of the object.

19. The system of claim 18 , wherein the contextual data includes user profile data.

20. The system of claim 18 , wherein the contextual data includes temporal data.
