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.

An augmented reality component detects anchor points assigned to respective segments of a person image in output of a digital image sensor of a camera, and displays a user selectable element that can be activated through engagement of an object from the output of the digital image sensor with the user selectable element. The augmented reality component detects engagement of the user selectable element with an object from the person image and, in response, triggers a predetermined action, such as, for example, starting or stopping recording of the output of the digital image sensor or capturing a still image of the output of the digital image sensor.

Body UI for augmented reality components

The technical problem of providing user interface elements that can be activated without physical contact with any specific device is addressed by configuring an augmented reality component to display a touchless user selectable element that can be activated in response to detecting collision of an object from the output of a digital image sensor of a camera with a user selectable element. The augmented reality component detects collision of the touchless user selectable element with an object from the person image, such as a hand object, and, in response, triggers a predetermined action, such as, for example, starting or stopping recording of the output of a digital image sensor or capturing a still image of the output of a digital image sensor.
