Disclosed are various embodiments for selecting augmenting reality (AR) objects based on contextual cues associated with an image captured by a camera associated with electronic device. Contextual cues are obtained at an electronic device and AR objects are identified from a memory associated with the electronic device. The electronic device implements a processor employing image segmentation techniques to combine the identified AR objects with the captured image and render the combined image for display at a display associated with the electronic device.

Selecting augmented reality objects for display based on contextual cues

In a general aspect, a method can include: receiving, by an electronic device, data defining an augmented reality (AR) environment; receiving an indication to place an AR object on a reference surface in the AR environment; in response to the indication, displaying the AR object on the reference surface in the AR environment; performing a first gesture on an input device of the electronic device; in response to the first gesture, elevating the AR object a distance above the reference surface in the AR environment; performing a second gesture on the input device of the electronic device; and in response to the second gesture, moving the AR object in the AR environment.

Placement and manipulation of objects in augmented reality environment

A method includes grouping media items associated with a user into segments based on a timestamp associated with each media item and a total number of media items. The method also includes selecting target media from the media items for each of the segments based on media attributes associated with the media item. The method also includes generating a video that includes the target media for each of the segments by generating a first animation that illustrates a first transition from a first item from the target media to a second item from the target media with movement of the first item from an onscreen location to an offscreen location, wherein the first item is adjacent to the second item in the first animation and determining whether the target media includes one or more additional items. The method also includes adding a song to the video.
