Abstract

Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing a program and method for displaying augmented reality content. The program and method provide for receiving, by a device, user input selecting an augmented reality content item for display, the augmented reality content item corresponding to a tutorial with augmented reality content; causing, in response to receiving the user input, a camera of the device to activate to capture an image feed; displaying tutorial content in conjunction with the image feed; and modifying the image feed with augmented reality content that corresponds to the tutorial content.

Claims (57)

1. A method, comprising:

receiving, by a device, user input selecting an augmented reality content item for display, the augmented reality content item corresponding to a tutorial with augmented reality content;

causing, in response to receiving the user input, a camera of the device to activate to capture an image feed;

displaying tutorial content in conjunction with the image feed;

modifying the image feed with augmented reality content that corresponds to the tutorial content;

receiving second user input for generating a media content item to include a portion of the tutorial content and a portion of the modified image feed;

presenting, in response to receiving the second user input, a preview interface corresponding to a message preview of the media content item; and

submitting the media content item to be viewed, in response to third user input to submit the media content item.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the tutorial content is displayed in a first portion of a split screen interface and the modified image feed is displayed in a second portion of the split screen interface.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the tutorial content comprises a video.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein display of the augmented reality content is synchronized with the video.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the user input selecting the augmented reality content item is received within at least one of a carousel interface for selecting from among plural augmented reality content items, a subscription interface for viewing subscription-based content, or a context interface associated with viewing a media content item.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the media content item is presented with contextual information when viewed, the contextual information providing context for the tutorial content.

7. A device, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, configure the device to:

receive user input selecting an augmented reality content item for display, the augmented reality content item corresponding to a tutorial with augmented reality content;

cause, in response to receiving the user input, a camera of the device to activate to capture an image feed;

display tutorial content in conjunction with the image feed;

modify the image feed with augmented reality content that corresponds to the tutorial content;

receive second user input for generating a media content item to include a portion of the tutorial content and a portion of the modified image feed;

present, in response to receiving the second user input, a preview interface corresponding to a message preview of the media content item; and

submit the media content item to be viewed, in response to third user input to submit the media content item.

8. The device of claim 7 , wherein the tutorial content is displayed in a first portion of a split screen interface and the modified image feed is displayed in a second portion of the split screen interface.

9. The device of claim 7 , wherein the tutorial content comprises a video.

10. The device of claim 9 , wherein display of the augmented reality content is synchronized with the video.

11. The device of claim 7 , wherein the user input selecting the augmented reality content item is received within at least one of a carousel interface for selecting from among plural augmented reality content items, a subscription interface for viewing subscription-based content, or a context interface associated with viewing a media content item.

12. The device of claim 7 , wherein the media content item is presented with contextual information when viewed, the contextual information providing context for the tutorial content.

13. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, the computer-readable storage medium including instructions that when executed by a computer, cause the computer to:

receive, by a device, user input selecting an augmented reality content item for display, the augmented reality content item corresponding to a tutorial with augmented reality content;

cause, in response to receiving the user input, a camera of the device to activate to capture an image feed;

display tutorial content in conjunction with the image feed; and

modify the image feed with augmented reality content that corresponds to the tutorial content;

receive second user input for generating a media content item to include a portion of the tutorial content and a portion of the modified image feed;

present, in response to receiving the second user input, a preview interface corresponding to a message preview of the media content item; and

submit the media content item to be viewed, in response to third user input to submit the media content item.

14. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the tutorial content is displayed in a first portion of a split screen interface and the modified image feed is displayed in a second portion of the split screen interface.

15. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the tutorial content comprises a video.

16. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein display of the augmented reality content is synchronized with the video.

17. A method, comprising:

receiving, by a device, user input selecting an augmented reality content item for display, the augmented reality content item corresponding to a tutorial with augmented reality content, wherein the tutorial content comprises a video;

causing, in response to receiving the user input, a camera of the device to activate to capture an image feed;

displaying tutorial content in conjunction with the image feed;

modifying the image feed with augmented reality content that corresponds to the tutorial content;

receiving second user input to generate a media content item prior to completion of the video, the media content item including a portion of the video and a portion of the modified image feed;

presenting, in response to receiving the second user input, a preview interface corresponding to a message preview of the media content item; and

resuming display of the video together with the modified image feed in response to third user input to navigate away from the preview interface.

18. A device, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, configure the device to:

receive user input selecting an augmented reality content item for display, the augmented reality content item corresponding to a tutorial with augmented reality content, wherein the tutorial content comprises a video;

cause, in response to receiving the user input, a camera of the device to activate to capture an image feed;

display tutorial content in conjunction with the image feed;

modify the image feed with augmented reality content that corresponds to the tutorial content;

receive second user input to generate a media content item prior to completion of the video, the media content item including a portion of the video and a portion of the modified image feed;

present, in response to receiving the second user input, a preview interface corresponding to a message preview of the media content item; and

resume display of the video together with the modified image feed in response to third user input to navigate away from the preview interface.
