In various example embodiments, a system and method for determining an item that has confirmed characteristics are described herein. An image that depicts an object is received from a client device. Structured data that corresponds to characteristics of one or more items are retrieved. A set of characteristics is determined, the set of characteristics being predicted to match with the object. An interface that includes a request for confirmation of the set of characteristics is generated. The interface is displayed on the client device. Confirmation that at least one characteristic from the set of characteristics matches with the object depicted in the image is received from the client device.

Techniques are provided for controlling a digital display and surveillance system including display devices and at least one camera. Responsive to a determination that a person of interest has entered a location, one or more attributes of the person is/are recognized. A customized display is developed by an inference engine. The customized display provides an immersive experience with a level of customization detail based on the identified attribute(s) of the person. The display devices output the customized display. Surveillance information is provided to the inference engine based on surveillance of the person as the person moves about (and/or interacts with items) in the location. The surveillance uses data identifying a current area in the location that the person presently is in. Updates to the customized display are developed responsive to surveillance information being successively provided to the inference engine. The display devices are controlled to output the update.

Systems and methods for machine-based matching of lodging inventory from a plurality of disparate reservation provider systems address the difficulties inherent in comparing prices to obtain a lowest possible price, which difficulties are inherent in the distribution of inventory to multiple third-party reservation providers who are generally permitted to utilize their own naming conventions when describing lodging inventory and who are also free to at least some extent to set prices for the various lodging inventory within their control. The systems and methods match room types using information obtained from the multiple third-party reservation providers, whereby direct comparisons can be made between prices for the same room types even when the reservation providers do not utilize identical descriptions or naming conventions for the respective room inventories.

A computer-implemented method for communicating about a product includes under control of one or more configured computer systems, selecting a product having a unique identifier (UID), using the unique identifier (UID) for the selected product to link a unique social media feed to the selected product, and enabling users to access the unique social media feed for engaging in social media conversations about the selected product. The method includes selecting a second product having a second unique identifier (2UID), using the second unique identifier (2UID) for the selected second product to link a second unique social media feed to the selected second product, and enabling users to access the second unique social media feed for engaging in social media conversations about the selected second product. The unique identifier (UID) is serial numbers, random numbers, names maintained by a central registry, or codes maintained by a central registry. The unique identifier (UID) assigned to the selected product is a Stock Keeping Unit (SKU), a Universal Product Code (UPC), a Global Trade Item Number (GTIN), an International Article Number (EAN), or an Australian Product Number (APN).

Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing a program and a method for performing operations comprising: receiving a request from a client device of a first user to engage in a shared augmented reality (AR) shopping experience with a second user; generating, for display on respective client devices of the first and second users, the shared AR shopping experience comprising a plurality of AR items that represent real-world products overlaid on a shared real-world environment of the first and second users; determining that the second user is interacting with a first AR item of the plurality of AR items; and in response to detecting that the second user is depicted in an image captured by the client device of the first user, overlaying the first AR item on the second user in the image.

Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing a program and a method for performing operations comprising: receiving a video that includes a depiction of a real-world object in a real-world environment; determining a classification for the real-world environment by processing the real-world object depicted in the video; selecting an augmented reality (AR) item based on the classification of the real-world environment and the real-world object depicted in the video; modifying pixels corresponding to the real-world object depicted in the video to generate a modified video that excludes the depiction of the real-world object; and adding the AR item to the modified video at a display position corresponding to the modified pixels.

The subject technology receives a selection of a first representation of a product from a set of representations of products. The subject technology renders for display the first representation of the product based on metadata using an extension application programming interface (API). The subject technology determines augmented reality (AR) content that is stored remotely using the extension API. The subject technology sends a first request for remote AR content to a camera API using the extension API. The subject technology sends a second request for retrieving the remote AR content using the camera API. The subject technology renders the remote AR content using the camera API. The subject technology receives a notification that the remote AR content was rendered for display from the extension API.

The subject technology requests a group identifier (ID) based on an item identification indicator to an extension application programming interface (API). The subject technology requests, using the extension API, a set of augmented reality (AR) content generator IDs, based on the item identification indicator, to a shopping AR content generator service. The subject technology receives the set of AR content generator IDs based on a mapping of the item identification indicator to a collection of AR content generator IDs. The subject technology requests, using the extension API, first metadata associated with the set of AR content generators and the item identification indicator to the shopping AR content generator service. The subject technology requests, using the extension API, a set of products based on the first metadata. The subject technology generates, using the extension API, a group ID based on the set of products. The subject technology receives the group ID.
