Systems and methods are disclosed method for rendering reality for an object by performing motion tracking and area learning of an environment; selecting a pattern or color from a plurality of product variations; blending the pattern or color of the object and the environment; and displaying the color on the object as an augmented reality view.

Methods and systems are disclosed for displaying an augmented reality virtual object on a multimedia device. One method comprises detecting, in an augmented reality environment displayed using a first device, a virtual object; detecting, within the augmented reality environment, a second device, the second device comprising a physical multimedia device; and generating, at the second device, a display comprising a representation of the virtual object.

A method, computer program product, and system are disclosed. The method, when implemented in a computer system, includes receiving a first set of descriptors, receiving a second set of descriptors, and forming a composite set of descriptors therefrom. The computer system is configured to cause presentation of a visual representation, associated with a product and/or service, in a first user interface displayed by a first remote computer system, and a second user interface displayed by a second remote computer system. The computer system is configured to receive the first set of descriptors via the first user interface, and the second set of descriptors via the second user interface. The forming the composite set of descriptors includes forming an aggregated set of descriptors and performing a weighting operation on the aggregated set of descriptors.

Some embodiments provide a non-transitory machine-readable medium that stores a program. The program determines a first identifier encoding for a location associated with a user requesting procurement of the item based on a hierarchy of locations. The program further determines a second identifier for a category associated with the item based on a hierarchy of categories. The program also determines a first set of search identifiers based on the first identifier encoding for the location. The program further determines a second set of search identifiers based on the second identifier encoding for the category. The program also determines a set of combinations of search identifiers based on the first and second sets of search identifiers. The program further identifies a set of policies from a plurality of policies based on the set of combinations of search identifiers.

Provided are a retail checkout system and method. A customer record includes registered identification information related to a store customer. An input device receives unique customer identification information from a purchaser card of the store customer. A customer identification analyzer verifies that the received unique customer identification information is included in the registered identification information of the customer record. An order linking module associates purchase data with the unique customer identification information of the purchaser card. A customer record processor updates the customer record to include the purchase data.

A shopping method, apparatus and system. The method includes retrieving information of at least one shopper, creating a shopping environment based on the information, directing the at least one shopper through the shopping environment, where the shopping environment mimics a real-world shopping experience, and finalizing the shopping experience, where the finalizing is at least one of checking out and terminating the shopping.

A method of generating a user-interface to be displayed at a remote location may include receiving a search request for an item listing and retrieving a first listing and a second listing based on the search request, determining a similarity score between the first and second listings that is based on multiple properties common to the first and second listings, and generating instructions to be transmitted to a remote location to generate a user interface to be displayed at the remote location, the user interface including the first listing, the instructions excluding the second listing from a list of results displayed on the user interface based on the similarity score exceeding a threshold and the first listing including superior values in at least one of the plurality of properties common to the first and second listings. The method may also include transmitting the instructions to the remote location for display.

Systems and methods for providing user tagging of content within a virtual scene are described. One of the methods includes sending data for display of a virtual environment on a head-mounted display. The virtual environment includes a virtual item. The method further includes receiving an indication of a selection associated with the virtual item. The method includes sending option data for allowing entry of content regarding the virtual item upon receiving the indication of the selection, receiving the content, associating the content with the virtual item, and sending tagged data for displaying a tag associated with the virtual item.

Features are disclosed for an interface for browsing images of items having different scales and lengths such as clothing. The interface may present two portions of a subject, each portion selected from different data stores of images. The interface may provide a unified view of the portions. For example, a first portion may be taken from an image of the subject wearing a golf shirt and long pants. A second portion may be taken from an image of the subject wearing a long sleeved shirt and shorts. The first portion may show only the golf shirt and the second portion may show only the shorts thereby providing a depiction of what the subject would look like wearing the shirt shown in the first image with the shorts shown in the second image.
