A method for providing a metaverse digital asset for use with a metaverse platform upon at least partial completion of a retailer desired purchase, participation or action. The method includes a retailer online service identifying that a guest has at least partially completed the retailer desired purchase, participation or action. An order tracking API of the retailer online service confirms that the retailer desired purchase, participation or action has been at least partially completed. A digital asset key API of the retailer online service obtains a digital asset key associated with the retailer desired purchase, participation or action. Upon confirmation that the retailer desired purchase, participation or action has been at least partially completed, the retailer online service provides the digital asset key to the guest. The digital asset key is configured to be used in the metaverse platform to redeem the metaverse digital asset.

Computer-implemented methods and systems to present a graphical user interface in a virtual reality retail environment of a retailer online service are provided. The methods and systems allow one or more guests to navigate products/services provided by the retailer online service within virtual reality retailer environments in an easy, accessible, and entertaining manner. A card ecosystem guest interface is provided that allows guests to search, filter and examine different product/services and can display one or more three-dimensional (3D) cards that provide information regarding the products/services available to purchase from the retailer online service. The guest can select a 3D card to view additional information regarding the product/service and to provide a miniature 3D model of the product/service. The guest can also generate a scaled 3D model of the product/service to interact with within the virtual reality retail environment.

Systems and methods for automating image annotations are provided, such that a large-scale annotated image collection may be efficiently generated for use in machine learning applications. In some aspects, a mobile device may capture image frames, identifying items appearing in the image frames and detect objects in three-dimensional space across those image frames. Cropped images may be created as associated with each item, which may then be correlated to the detected objects. A unique identifier may then be captured that is associated with the detected object, and labels are automatically applied to the cropped images based on data associated with that unique identifier. In some contexts, images of products carried by a retailer may be captured, and item data may be associated with such images based on that retailer's item taxonomy, for later classification of other/future products.

Large-scale automated image annotation system

Methods and systems for identifying one or more products in an electronic image are disclosed. The computer-implemented method to electronically recognize a product in an electronic image captured via an electronic mobile device is disclosed. The method includes receiving, by a server, a video stream from a camera of the electronic mobile device, the video stream including a plurality of frames. The server selects at least one of the plurality of frames from the video stream, the at least one of the plurality of frames from the video stream being selected is a captured image. The server segments a plurality of products in the captured image into a plurality of segments. The server performs an image recognition using each of the plurality of segments to identify the product in each of the plurality of segments. One or more recognized products identified in the image recognition is outputted by the server.

Electronic product recognition

A retail store including a server having a processor and a memory; a communication network; and a database are disclosed. The server includes an electronic product recognizer that receives a video stream including a plurality of frames from a camera of an electronic mobile device. At least one of the plurality of frames is selected as a captured image. A plurality of products in the captured image is segmented into a plurality of segments. Image recognition is performed using each of the plurality of segments to identify the product in each of the plurality of segments. One or more recognized products identified in the image recognition are output. The one or more recognized products identified in the image recognition are configured to be sent to a user device communicable with the server via the communication network, the server configured to cause one or more stickers to be displayed on the user device.
