Abstract
Systems and methods for implementing improvements to 'live events,' via which a host of the event may offer one or more items to one or more guests in the event (e.g., via auction, via direct purchase, and/or via giveaway). In particular, the host device may automatically capture and/or upload one or more images of the item(s) to one or more servers for processing. The one or more servers in turn may use the processed image to populate the host's item inventory listings, item profiles, packaging labels, etc. for access and display to the host and/or guests.
