Methods and systems are disclosed for performing generating AR experiences on a messaging platform. The methods and systems perform operations including: receiving, from a client device, a request to access an AR experience; in response to receiving the request, loading a first AR element of the AR experience without loading a second AR element of the AR experience; determining that a condition associated with the second AR element is satisfied; and in response to determining that the condition associated with the second AR element is satisfied: retrieving, by the client device, the second AR element from a server; and loading the second AR element for presentation on the client device.

Augmented reality experiences with dynamically loadable assets

Methods and systems are disclosed for generating AR experiences on a messaging platform. The methods and systems establish a shared augmented reality (AR) experience across a plurality of client devices and receive, from a first client device of the plurality of client devices, a request to perform a real-time interaction with a given AR element that is presented on displays of the plurality of client devices. In response to receiving the request, the methods and system enable the first client device to perform one or more modifications to the given AR element while preventing a second of the plurality of client devices from performing real-time interactions with the given AR element. The method and system synchronize the one or more modifications of the given AR element performed by the first client device across each of the plurality of client devices in real time.

Real-time modifications in augmented reality experiences

Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing programs and methods for performing operations comprising: receiving a request from a client device of a first user to engage in a shared virtual reality shopping experience with a second user; generating, for display on respective client devices of the first and second users, the shared virtual reality shopping experience comprising a plurality of virtual reality items that represent real-world products; receiving, from the client device of the second user, data indicating a selection of a first virtual reality item of the plurality of virtual reality items made by the second user; and modifying a display attribute of the first virtual item in the display of the shared virtual reality shopping experience on the client device of the first user to indicate the selection of the first virtual reality item made by the second user.

Method, system, and machine-readable storage medium for VR-based connected portal shopping

Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing a program and a method for performing operations comprising: receiving, from a client device of a first user, a request from the first user to engage in an AR shopping experience curated by a store; identifying a first real-world product available for purchase from the store; receiving an image of a real-world environment of the first user; generating a first AR item that represents the first real-world product; comparing visual attributes of the first AR item to physical layouts of a plurality of real-world objects depicted in the image of the real-world environment; and overlaying the first AR item on a first real-world object of the plurality of real-world objects in the image responsive to comparing the visual attributes of the first AR item to the physical layouts of the plurality of real-world objects.

Customized virtual store

Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing a program and a method for performing operations comprising: receiving a request from a client device of a first user to engage in a shared augmented reality (AR) shopping experience with a second user; generating, for display on respective client devices of the first and second users, the shared AR shopping experience comprising a plurality of AR items that represent real-world products overlaid on a shared real-world environment of the first and second users; determining that the second user is interacting with a first AR item of the plurality of AR items; and in response to detecting that the second user is depicted in an image captured by the client device of the first user, overlaying the first AR item on the second user in the image.

AR-based connected portal shopping

Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing a program and method for presenting available augmented reality (AR) content items. The program and method provide for displaying a capture interface in accordance with a camera mode configured to capture multiple video clips; displaying a carousel interface for presenting a first set of AR content items, each being selectable to apply respective AR content to captured video; receiving first user input selecting an explore tab included which is selectable to switch to an explorer interface for presenting a second set of AR content items; switching from the capture interface to the explorer interface; receiving, via the explorer interface, second user input selecting an AR content item from among the second set; and updating, in response to receiving the second user input, the first set of AR content items to include the selected AR content item.
