    Abstract: In various exemplary embodiments, a system and an associated method to retrieve information related to marketplace items within an electronic environment are disclosed. A network architecture comprises a listing module to store the information related to the marketplace items. The related information includes one or more user-created items such as an image of a model with one or more tagged items worn by the model. Each of the one or more tagged items has associated descriptive metadata. A communications module is arranged to receive a query including search terms related to social fashion items from an end-user. A query engine is coupled to the communications module to match the search terms contained within the query to the associated descriptive metadata of the tagged items in the listing module. A processing module then displays to the end-user the model and the one or more tagged items.

    Abstract: In various example embodiments, a system and method for data mesh-based environmental augmentation are presented. Attribute data associated with a user may be received from a plurality of attribute sources. A portion of the attribute data may include real-time data. A portion of the real-time data indicative of an identity of the user may be identified. The identity of the user may be authenticated with respect to the real-time data by analyzing the identified portion of the real-time data. Based on the authentication of the identity of the user, a user activity being performed by the user may be identified based on the real-time data, and the user activity may be augmented according to a user setting.

    Abstract: Method, apparatus, and system for providing an item image to a client for display in a contextual environment are described. In some embodiments, the user may select an item for display in the contextual environment, and the user may position a camera coupled to a processing system to capture the contextual environment. A placeholder may be generated and associated with an item selected by a user. In an embodiment, the generated placeholder may be placed in a location within the contextual environment, and the user's processing system may send a visual data stream of the camera-captured environment to a server. In an embodiment, the user's processing device may receive a modified data stream including an image of the item, and the user's processing device may display the item image in the same location as the placeholder.

    Abstract: In one example, a computer implemented system manages digital rights pertaining to the 3D printing of a 3D digital model or object. The system includes a database of 3D printing service providers and a computing device that implements a 3D printing platform in a federated network of 3D printing service providers. The platform comprises units that act cooperatively to publish a pre-authorization for printing the 3D digital model or object granted by an owner of digital rights associated with the 3D digital model or object, receive a request for a 3D printing task, the request including a selection of the pre-authorized 3D digital model or object, and rank the plurality of 3D printing service providers based on a 3D printing identifier metric. An independent selection of a preferred 3D printing service provider is received, and printing instructions are transmitted to a 3D printer service provider.

    Abstract: A method and system facilitate recognition of commands to initiate actions within an electronic marketplace on behalf of a user. A machine detects a first command issued by a user. The machine, based on the detecting of the first command, identifies a request to generate a model of a physical object in the environment of the user. The machine generates the model based on a set of spatial data pertaining to the physical object. The machine, based on the model, causes a display of a graphical representation of the physical object in a user interface of a client device. The machine identifies a request to initiate an action with respect to the physical object via the client device on behalf of the user. The machine automatically initiates the action via the client device on behalf of the user. The action uses the graphical representation of the physical object.
