Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program and a method for navigating an avatar based on time zones. A global event is identified that begins at a particular time on a given date; a sequential list of time zones associated with a plurality of geographical locations is retrieved; and a current time at a first time zone of the sequential list of time zones is determined to have reached the particular time on the given date. In response, an avatar is generated for display on a map at a first of the plurality of geographical locations associated with the first time zone and is navigated to a second geographical location when a current time at a second time zone, associated with the second geographical location, reaches the particular time on the given date.

Global event-based avatar

Systems and methods for eyewear devices with integrated heads-up displays are provided. In one embodiment, an eyewear device provides an integrated heads-up display having a partially reflective element carried by an eyeglass lens to reflect towards the user computer-generated imagery projected on to it, while permitting the passage of light through the reflective surface in the direction of view of the user. The display mechanism further includes a cooperating projector assembly housed by a frame of the eyewear device in an overhead configuration relative to the partially reflective element. The projector assembly is housed by a top bar of the eyewear frame, with the reflective surface being housed wholly within the lens.

Eyewear with integrated heads-up display

Method for generating collectible media content items based on location information starts with processor receiving location information from location sensor coupled to first client computing device. Processor causes a map interface to be displayed that includes avatar of first user at a location based on the location information and a subset of a plurality of collectible items associated with geographical coordinates. When the first client computing device is determined to be within predetermined distance from a selected collectible item, processor causes front facing camera view to be displayed on the first client computing device, causes lens corresponding to selected collectible item to be applied to the front facing camera view, and causes the image of the selected collectible item displayed on the front facing camera view to change. Lens includes image of the selected collectible item that is overlaid on front facing camera view. Other embodiments are described herein.

Generating collectible items based on location information

Method for generating media content items based on location information starts with the server system receiving from a first computing device an electronic communication including location information from a location sensor coupled to the first client computing device. Server system then determines a current activity of a first user of the first client computing device based on the location information; generating a media content item including a map display based on the location information and at least one of: (i) an avatar of the first user engaged in the current activity, (ii) a status message associated with the current activity of the first user, or (iii) a status message associated with a map location on the map display. Server system then causes the media content item to be displayed on a display screen of at least one of a plurality of client computing devices. Other embodiments are described herein.

Generating media content items based on location information

Systems and methods for eyewear devices with integrated heads-up displays are provided. In one embodiment, an eyewear device provides an integrated heads-up display in a display area that is elongate and extends laterally across a user's field of view. A display mechanism forming part of the eyewear device can be configured to display visual information in the form of text messages, with no more than a single laterally extending line of text characters being displayable at any particular time. The display mechanism can comprise a partially reflective element carried by an eyeglass lens to reflect towards the user computer-generated imagery projected on to it, the display mechanism further including a cooperating projector assembly housed by a frame of the eyewear device in an overhead configuration relative to the partially reflective element.
