Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) environment enhancement using an eyewear device. The eyewear device includes an image capture system, a display system, and a position detection system. The image capture system and position detection system identify feature points within a point cloud that represents captured images of an environment. The display system presents image overlays to a user including enhancement graphics positioned at the feature points within the environment.

Augmented reality environment enhancement

A wearable or a mobile device includes a camera to capture an image of a scene with a face and a display for displaying an image overlaid on the face. Execution of programming by a processor configures the device to perform functions, including functions to capture, via a camera of an eyewear device, an image of a scene including a face, identify the face in the image of the scene, track positional information of the face with respect to the eyewear device, generate an overlay image responsive the positional information, and present the overlay image on an image display.

Eyewear device face tracking

The subject technology sends captured image data and metadata to a first set of computing processes for processing. The subject technology receives, asynchronously from a second set of computing processes, second metadata. The subject technology detects a signal indicating a command to stop image data capturing. The subject technology, in response to the detected signal, generating a composite AR content item based on the metadata and the captured image data. The subject technology provides the composite AR content item for rendering for display on an eyewear device.
