A method for providing virtual aid templates includes capturing images of a physical environment including a physical object at a first location, rendering a 3-D virtual environment including a representation of the physical object, capturing a first hand gesture in the physical environment, translating the first hand gesture into a first operation of displaying a virtual aid template associated with the physical object, rendering the virtual aid template associated with the physical object adjacent to the location of the representation of the physical object, capturing a second hand gesture in the physical environment, translating the second hand gesture into a first interaction with the representation of the physical object, determining a second operation on the virtual aid template associated with the physical object in accordance with the first interaction, and rendering the second operation on the virtual aid template associated with the physical object.

System and method for providing real-time product interaction assistance

A method for providing real-time virtual experience of user interactions includes rendering a 3-D virtual environment based on one or more images of a physical environment including one or more representations of physical objects, receiving a user input to place a first preset virtual object at a space in the 3-D virtual environment, rendering the first preset virtual object, detecting, by the one or more cameras, a user's hand gesture interacting with the first preset virtual object, translating the user's hand gesture into an interaction with the first preset virtual object, identifying a first part of the first preset virtual object that is subject to the interaction with the first preset virtual object, concurrently displaying in real time on the display a representation of the user's hand gesture and a movement of the first part of the first preset virtual object caused by the interaction in the 3-D virtual environment.

A method includes: deploying a frontend system (FIES); registering a current deployment location of the FIES; detecting a close-proximity interaction between a user and the FIES that specifies a first category; generating a product recommendation that includes a first product of the first category; detecting a respective prior purchase record of the user for a second product in a second category associated with the first category; if the prior purchase record indicates a purchase or delivery location outside of a geographic region of the registered current deployment location, automatically augmenting the product recommendation to include a third product from the second category selected based on characteristics of the second product; and otherwise, automatically refining the first product recommendation to further define characteristics of the first product based on the characteristics of the second product; and providing the product recommendation to the first user after the automatic augmenting or refining.
