    Abstract: Systems, devices, media, and methods are presented for producing an augmented reality (AR) experience for display on a smart eyewear device. The AR production system includes a marker registration utility for setting and storing markers, a localization utility for locating the eyewear device relative to a marker location and to the mapped environment, and a virtual object rendering utility to presenting one or more virtual objects having a desired size, shape, and orientation. A high-definition camera captures an input image of the environment. If the input image includes a marker, the system retrieves from memory a set of data including a first marker location expressed in terms relative to a marker coordinate system. The localization utility determines a local position of the eyewear device relative to the marker location. The virtual object rendering utility prepares one or more virtual objects for display based on the eyewear location, the head pose of the wearer, and the location of one or more physical object landmarks in the environment.

    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program and method for rendering three-dimensional captions (3D) in real-world environments depicted in image content. An editing interface is displayed on a client device. The editing interface includes an input component displayed with a view of a camera feed. A first input comprising one or more text characters is received. In response to receiving the first input, a two-dimensional (2D) representation of the one or more text characters is displayed. In response to detecting a second input, a preview interface is displayed. Within the preview interface, a 3D caption based on the one or more text characters is rendered at a position in a 3D space captured within the camera feed. A message is generated that includes the 3D caption rendered at the position in the 3D space captured within the camera feed.

    Abstract: An electronic eyewear device includes first and second systems on a chip (SoCs) having independent time bases that are synchronized by generating a common clock signal from a clock generator of the first SoC and simultaneously applying the common clock signal to a first counter of the first SoC and a second counter of the second SoC whereby the first counter and the second counter count clock edges of the common clock. The clock counts are shared through an interface between the first SoC and the second SoC and compared to each other. When the clock counts are different, a clock count of the first counter or the second counter is adjusted to cause the clock counts to match each other. The adjusted clock count is synchronized to the respective clocks of the first and second SoCs, thus synchronizing the first and second SoCs to each other.

    Abstract: Method of generating contextual sending menu starts with processor causing first client device to display first and second portion of display screen in inactivated position. Processor receives selection from first user of first client device of chat selectable item in application interface. Chat selectable item is associated with communication interface of messaging system. In response to receiving the selection, processor generates media content item based on context of first client device and causes first portion and second portion of display screen to be displayed in an activated position by causing first portion to contract, and causing second portion to expand and to comprise a preview of media content item and selectable item associated with second user. Processor then receives from the first user selection of the selectable item associated with the second user, and transmits media content item to second client device. Other embodiments are also disclosed herein.
