Abstract
An augmented experience improves user experience by including virtual reflections of an actual background on virtual items presented in a user interface. An augmented image comprising a representation of a virtual item with one or more reflective surfaces is generated and presented in a user interface. Virtual reflections based on images of an actual background acquired by a camera are generated. The virtual reflections are superimposed on the one or more reflective surfaces of the virtual item for presentation of the augmented image. During presentation of the virtual item, the inclusion of the virtual reflection may improve overall realism of the virtual item.
