    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 shared control of a virtual object by two or more users. A virtual object is displayed by a first device, for example, as part of an augmented reality experience where the display of the object is overlaid on a real-world environment. User input indicative of a modification to the virtual object is received. The virtual object is modified, and a modified virtual object is displayed by a second device.

    Abstract: In some embodiments, users' experience of engaging with augmented reality technology is enhanced by providing a process, referred to as face animation synthesis, that replaces an actor's face in the frames of a video with a user's face from the user's portrait image. The resulting face in the frames of the video retains the facial expressions, as well as color and lighting, of the actor's face but, at the same time, has the likeness of the user's face. An example face animation synthesis experience can be made available to uses of a messaging system by providing a face animation synthesis augmented reality component.

    Abstract: The pose of a wide-angle image is determined by dewarping regions of the wide-angle image, determining estimated poses of the dewarped regions of the wide-angle image and deriving a pose of the wide-angle image from the estimated poses of the of the dewarped regions. The estimated poses of the dewarped regions may be determined by comparing features in the dewarped regions with features in prior dewarped regions from one or more prior wide-angle images, as well as by comparing features in the dewarped regions with features in a point cloud.

    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for implementing computational tasks in a cloud environment in one or more operating system level virtualized containers. A parameter file can specify different parameters including hardware parameters, library parameters, user code parameters, and job parameters (e.g., sets of hyperparameters). The parameter file can be converted via a mapping and implemented in a cloud-based container platform.

    Abstract: A case for an eyewear device having a conductive interface includes a housing that receives the eyewear device. A multi-purpose interface, supported by the housing, includes at least one contact arranged to couple with the conductive interface of the eyewear device when the housing receives the eyewear device. Circuitry is coupled to the at least one contact and includes a processor that detects a connection of the conductive interface of the eyewear device to the multi-purpose interface of the case. The processor performs a charging process during a charge state of the case in which an electrical charge is provided at the multi-purpose interface of the case to the eyewear device. Data is exchanged with the eyewear device during a communication state of the case.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for deleting messages. The systems and methods include operations for: establishing, by a computing device; a communication session between a plurality of users, the communication session being associated with a first feature of a plurality of features of a messaging application; automatically deleting a first set of messages exchanged in the communication session based on a default deletion policy of the first feature; changing the default deletion policy of the first feature to a second deletion policy; and automatically deleting a second set of messages exchanged in the communication session based on the second deletion policy instead of the default deletion policy.

    Abstract: A system to generate a graphical user interface to display a presentation of a set of shared user groups between users of a social networking service is described. Embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally to systems for: receiving an identification of a second user from a user account of a first user; identifying a user group that includes the first user and the second user in response to the identification of the second user from the user account of the first user; retrieving user identifiers of the first user and the second user, wherein the user identifiers may include graphical avatars; generating a group identifier based on the user identifiers; and causing display of a presentation of the user group at a client device.

    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media to provide for progressive display of attachments on a mobile device. In some aspects, a method includes determining a sequence of media for presentation to a user, determining to insert new media between two media of the sequence of media. In some aspects, the new media may be a short form video. The method may further include receiving touch screen input while presenting the new media, and presenting additional media in response to the touch screen input. In some aspects, the additional media may be a long form video. In some aspects, additional input may be received while the additional media is presented. The new input may request a further media be presented. The further media may be a software installation dialog or a web page.
