    Abstract: Adding additional value to NFTs is described. An association of a non-fungible token (NET) with a user account is verified based on an address of a digital wallet that corresponds to the user account and that is encoded into the NET stored on a blockchain. After verifying the association of the NET with the user account, a condition relative to the NET is detected. Responsive to detecting the condition, ownership of an earned item is conferred to the user account. An NFT collection is formed by digitally bundling the NFT and the earned item, and a listing of the NFT collection is generated for the user account. The listing specifies that the NFT collection includes both the NFT and the earned item.

    Abstract: A physical storage vault for physical items of digital twin NFTs is described. A combined listing for a physical item and an NET of the physical item is generated, and the combined listing is output in a user interface at a client device. The user interface includes an option to store the physical item in a physical storage vault. A request is received from the client device to transfer ownership of the physical item and the NFT of the combined listing to a user account. The request indicates that the option to store the physical item in the physical storage vault is accepted. Responsive to the request, transfer of ownership of the NET to the user account is initiated by encoding metadata of the NFT on a blockchain with an identifier associated with the user account and by storing the physical item in the physical storage vault.

    Abstract: A system described herein uses data obtained from a wearable device of a first user to identify a second user and/or to determine that the first user is within a threshold distance of the second user. The system can then access an account of the second user to identify one or more items and retrieve model data for the item(s). The system causes the wearable device of the first user to render, for display in an immersive 3D environment (e.g., an augmented reality environment), an item associated with the account of the second user. The item can be rendered for display at a location on a display that is proximate to the second user (e.g., within a threshold distance of the second user) such that the item graphically corresponds to the second user. The item rendered for display may be an item of interest to the first user.

    Abstract: An augmented reality or virtual reality (AR/VR) device pairs with a companion device to augment input interfaces associated with an AR/VR application at the AR/VR device. In implementations, an AR/VR device determines a portion of a markup file that corresponds to an AR/VR scene of a plurality of AR/VR scenes in an AR/VR environment, and communicates the portion of the markup file to the companion device to cause the companion device to configure a companion user interface associated with initiating an action as part of the AR/VR scene. In response to receiving user input via the companion user interface, the companion device communicates the action to the AR/VR device to initiate the action. The AR/VR device receives input data from the companion device, and initiates the action for the AR/VR scene.

    Abstract: Techniques for automatically modulating a physical configuration of a reconfigurable building structure. A reconfigurable building structure may be constructed of physical elements that are movable with respect to one another to facilitate actuating the reconfigurable building structure between a plurality of different physical configurations. The physical configuration of a reconfigurable building structure may be adjusted to accommodate for physical dimensions of an item that is going to be moved into the reconfigurable building structure. For example, a spacing between two shelves may be expanded in response to an order being placed for a large item. In this way, when the item is delivered to a physical address associated with the reconfigurable building structure, various physical characteristics of the reconfigurable building structure may have already been modulated to accept the item.

    Abstract: Fingerprinting physical items to mint NFTs is described. One or more features of a physical item are captured using a fingerprint capture system of a client device, and a fingerprint of the physical item is generated using the captured features of the physical item. The fingerprint of the physical item is provided to an authentication service to verify that the physical item corresponds to an authentic physical item by matching the fingerprint of the physical item to distinguishing features of the authentic physical item. Responsive to verification by the authentication service, a digital twin NFT is minted on a blockchain using the matched fingerprint. A combined listing for the physical item and the digital twin NET is then generated on a listing platform.
