Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program, method, and user interface to facilitate augmented reality based communication between multiple users over a network. A first user of a first device is enabled to view a real-world environment that is visible to a second user via a second device by causing display, at the first device, of a live camera feed generated at the second device. The live camera feed comprises images of the real-world environment that is visible to the second user. Input data indicative of a selection by the first user of a virtual content item to apply to the real-world environment that is visible to the second user is received. The first device and second device present media objects overlaid on the real-world environment based on the input data.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program, method, and user interface to facilitate a camera sharing session between two or more users. A camera sharing session is initiated based on session configuration information comprising a user identifier of a user permitted to control image capturing at a camera communicatively coupled to a first device. A trigger request is received from the second device and in response, an image capture, which results in at least one image, is triggered at the camera and the image is transmitted to the second device.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program, method, and user interface to facilitate context based augmented reality communication between multiple users over a network. Virtual content item configuration data indicative of a selection by a first user of virtual content item to apply to a real-world environment that is visible to a second user via a second device is received from a first device. The virtual content item configuration data also includes one or more criteria to trigger application of the virtual content item to the real-world environment. A triggering event is detected based on satisfaction of the one or more criteria determined from context data generated at the second device. The second device presents the virtual content item overlaid on the real-world environment that is visible to the second user based on the triggering event.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program, method, and user interface to facilitate augmented reality based communication between multiple users over a network. Input data is received from a first device that is indicative of a selection by a first user of virtual content item to apply to a real-world environment that is visible to a second user via a second device. The virtual content item may comprise one or more media objects. Based on receiving the input data, the second device is caused to present the one or more media objects overlaid on the real-world environment that is visible to the second user via the second device.

Abstract: Input indicative of a selection of volumetric content for presentation is received. The volumetric content comprises a volumetric representation of one or more elements of a real-world three-dimensional space. In response to the input, device state data associated with the volumetric content is accessed. The device state data describes a state of one or more network-connected devices associated with the real-world three-dimensional space. The volumetric content is presented. The presentation of the volumetric content includes presentation of the volumetric representation of the one or more elements overlaid on the real-world three-dimensional space by a display device and configuring the one or more network-connected devices using the device state data.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and systems for providing a presentation of an experience (e.g., a journey) to a user using augmented reality (AR). During a capture phase, persons in the journey may take videos or pictures using their smartphones, GoPros, and/or smart glasses. A drone may also take videos or pictures during the journey. During an experience phase, an AR topographical rendering of the real-world environment of the journey may be rendered on a tabletop, highlighting/animating a path persons took in the journey. The persons may be rendered as miniature avatars/dolls overlaid on the representation of the real-world environment. When the user clicks on a point in the presentation of the journey, a perspective (e.g., the videos or pictures) at that point is presented.

Abstract: A client device processing received emoji messages using emoji-first messaging. Text messaging is automatically converted to emojis by an emoji-first application so that only emojis are communicated from one client device to another client device. Each client device has a library of emojis that are mapped to words, which libraries are customizable and unique to the users of the client devices, such that the users can communicate secretly in code. Upon receipt of a string of emojis, a user can select the emoji string to convert to text if desired, for a predetermined period of time.

Abstract: Systems and methods herein describe a system for context triggered augmented reality. The proposed systems and methods receive first user input indicative of a selection of a user interface element corresponding to a recipient user, generate an augmented reality content item based on second user input from the first computing device, generate a contextual trigger for the generated augmented reality content item, the contextual trigger defining a set of conditions for presenting the generated augmented reality content item on a second computing device, generate a multi-media message comprising audio data recorded at the first computing device, detect at least one condition of the set of conditions being satisfied, and in response to detecting at least one of the set of conditions being satisfied, causing presentation of the augmented reality content item and the multi-media message at the second computing device.
