Systems and methods for computer-guided item creation and interaction include causing display of item creation templates and directions for creating an item from an object. Image data and infrared data is collected and utilized during item creation to determine user movement deviations and object shape deviations from the directions to provide real time corrective guidance and to determine how to augment the templates and/or directions. Once created, the item is analyzed to determine differences between it and a reference item such that displayed content is augmented when the created item is interacting with a surface.

Computer-guided item creation and interaction

A container formed from a single piece of cardboard or like materials may double as a plate. The single piece may generally take the form of an oval, and may include a number of panels separated by specifically oriented creases and folds which enable the single piece to be folded into the container, and contain a food product such as a sandwich therein, or unfolded into a plate-like flat surface from which the food product may be eaten by a customer. A frame including a plurality of elbows, pegs or other extensions may be used to form the single piece into a semi-folded state, facilitating processes for preparing or packaging the food product.

Convertible food containers

Containers for baked goods such as cookies may include liners and bags. A liner may be formed from paperboard and include an enclosure that is defined by a plurality of panels. A lower portion of a baked good or another food product may be received within the enclosure, and an upper portion of the baked good may extend above the enclosure and be visibly supported by one or the panels. The liner may have dimensions that are selected to standardize the size of a baked good, and may be inserted into an appropriately sized bag that may be folded over the liner or otherwise sealed. The enclosure of the liner enables the baked good to be presented vertically on a shelf, rather than horizontally, and in series with other baked goods.
