    Abstract: Approaches in accordance with various embodiments provide for the presentation of augmented reality (AR) content with respect to optically challenging surfaces. Such surfaces can be difficult to locate using conventional optical-based approaches that rely on visible features. Embodiments can utilize the fact that horizontal surfaces can be located relatively easily, and can determine intersections or boundaries of those horizontal surfaces that likely indicate the presence of another surface, such as a vertical wall. This boundary can be determined automatically, through user input, or using a combination of such approaches. Once such an intersection is located, a virtual plane can be determined whose relative location to a device displaying AR content can be tracked and used as a reference for displaying AR content.

    Abstract: Users can view images or renderings of items placed (virtually) within a physical space. For example, a rendering of an item can be placed within a live camera view of the physical space. A snapshot of the physical space can be captured and the snapshot can be customized, shared, etc. The renderings can be represented as two-dimensional images, e.g., virtual stickers or three-dimensional models of the items. Users can have the ability to view different renderings, move those items around, and develop views of the physical space that may be desirable. The renderings can link to products offered through an electronic marketplace and those products can be consumed. Further, collaborative design is enabled through modeling the physical space and enabling users to view and move around the renderings in a virtual view of the physical space.
