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 displaying a carousel interface comprising multiple icons, each icon corresponding to a respective one of a plurality of augmented reality content items for displaying with an image captured by a device camera; receiving user input to navigate through display of the plurality of augmented reality content items while displaying the image; and in a case where the user input corresponds to a predefined type of gesture, navigating through display of the plurality of augmented reality content items while displaying the image, and omitting display of the carousel interface.

Claims (54)

1. A method, comprising:

displaying a carousel interface comprising multiple icons, each icon corresponding to a respective one of a plurality of augmented reality content items for displaying with an image captured by a device camera;

receiving user input to navigate through display of the plurality of augmented reality content items while displaying the image;

in a case where the user input corresponds to a first predefined type of gesture, navigating through display of the plurality of augmented reality content items while displaying the image, and

replacing display of the carousel interface with a sliding interface, the sliding interface being configured to display a respective icon, of the multiple icons, corresponding to a currently-displayed augmented reality content item; and

in a case where the user input corresponds to a second predefined type of gesture,

navigating through display of the plurality of augmented reality content items while displaying both the image and the carousel interface.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the navigating through display of the plurality of augmented reality content items with respect to the first predefined type of gesture is performed at a first speed,

and wherein the navigating through display of the plurality of augmented reality content items with respect to the second predefined type of gesture is performed at a second speed which is slower than the first speed.

3. The method of claim 1 , receiving, from a server, representations of the plurality of augmented reality content items; and

storing the representations in local memory.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein navigating through display of the plurality of augmented reality content items comprises:

retrieving the representations from the local memory; and

navigating through display of the representations while displaying the image.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of augmented reality content items is arranged in order, and wherein navigating through display of the plurality of augmented reality content items is based on the order.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the sliding interface indicates a position of the currently-displayed augmented reality content item based on the order.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein each icon of the carousel interface is selectable by a user for displaying the respective one of the plurality of augmented reality content items with the image.

8. A device, comprising:

at least one processor; and

a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

displaying a carousel interface comprising multiple icons, each icon corresponding to a respective one of a plurality of augmented reality content items for displaying with an image captured by a device camera;

receiving user input to navigate through display of the plurality of augmented reality content items while displaying the image;

in a case where the user input corresponds to a first predefined type of gesture,

navigating through display of the plurality of augmented reality content items while displaying the image, and

replacing display of the carousel interface with a sliding interface, the sliding interface being configured to display a respective icon, of the multiple icons, corresponding to a currently-displayed augmented reality content item; and

in a case where the user input corresponds to a second predefined type of gesture,

navigating through display of the plurality of augmented reality content items while displaying both the image and the carousel interface.

9. The device of claim 8 , wherein the navigating through display of the plurality of augmented reality content items with respect to the first predefined type of gesture is performed at a first speed,

and wherein the navigating through display of the plurality of augmented reality content items with respect to the second predefined type of gesture is performed at a second speed which is slower than the first speed.

10. The device of claim 8 , receiving, from a server, representations of the plurality of augmented reality content items; and

storing the representations in local memory.

11. The device of claim 10 , wherein navigating through display of the plurality of augmented reality content items comprises:

retrieving the representations from the local memory; and

navigating through display of the representations while displaying the image.

12. The device of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of augmented reality content items is arranged in order, and wherein navigating through display of the plurality of augmented reality content items is based on the order.

13. The device of claim 12 , wherein the sliding interface indicates a position of the currently-displayed augmented reality content item based on the order.

14. The device of claim 8 , wherein each icon of the carousel interface is selectable by a user for displaying the respective one of the plurality of augmented reality content items with the image.

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

displaying a carousel interface comprising multiple icons, each icon corresponding to a respective one of a plurality of augmented reality content items for displaying with an image captured by a device camera;

receiving user input to navigate through display of the plurality of augmented reality content items while displaying the image;

in a case where the user input corresponds to a first predefined type of gesture,

navigating through display of the plurality of augmented reality content items while displaying the image, and

replacing display of the carousel interface with a sliding interface, the sliding interface being configured to display a respective icon, of the multiple icons, corresponding to a currently-displayed augmented reality content item; and

in a case where the user input corresponds to a second predefined type of gesture,

navigating through display of the plurality of augmented reality content items while displaying both the image and the carousel interface.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the navigating through display of the plurality of augmented reality content items with respect to the first predefined type of gesture is performed at a first speed,

and wherein the navigating through display of the plurality of augmented reality content items with respect to the second predefined type of gesture is performed at a second speed which is slower than the first speed.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , receiving, from a server, representations of the plurality of augmented reality content items; and

storing the representations in local memory.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 17 , wherein navigating through display of the plurality of augmented reality content items comprises:

retrieving the representations from the local memory; and

navigating through display of the representations while displaying the image.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the plurality of augmented reality content items is arranged in order, and wherein navigating through display of the plurality of augmented reality content items is based on the order.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 19 , wherein the sliding interface indicates a position of the currently-displayed augmented reality content item based on the order.
