Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for optimizing three-dimensional models. One of the methods includes determining, for a three-dimensional model of an object to be optimized, a plurality of points on the object that each have at least a threshold likelihood of being a focal point, the object having two or more regions each of which include one or more textures, one or more meshes, or both; identifying, from the two or more regions… Show more

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for presenting an augmented reality presentation. One of the methods includes receiving data for a web page associated with a uniform resource indicator and including data for augmented reality presentations. An augmented reality presentation is selected for the web page, and automatically presented using the data for the augmented reality presentation, and data from a camera included in a mobile… Show more

One of the methods includes receiving data for a web page associated with a uniform resource indicator and including data for augmented reality presentations. An augmented reality presentation is selected for the web page, and automatically presented using the data for the augmented reality presentation, and data from a camera included in a mobile device. After automatically presenting the augmented reality presentation, data is received indicating that the augmented reality presentation should end. After receiving the data indicating that the augmented reality presentation should end, the web page is presented. Show less

A method and apparatus for generating real-time recommendations to users engaged in an information research and discovery task. The system uses a novel approach to user modeling that generates a richer profile of a user based on information collected from his or her natural interactions with the comparison interface. Additionally, the system not only recommends items from its database but also recommends relevant features to guide the user's information retrieval task - representing a new… Show more

When a good or service is reviewed by a large number of users, for example, there may be more UGC than a given web site visitor is comfortable reading. Some web site visitors may simply read the first one or two items of UGC that are presented, without reading any other UGC. Accordingly, when a large amount of UGC is available, identifying and determining what UGC should be presented to a user may be difficult. A user may thus end up reading UGC such as reviews, answers to questions, etc., that… Show more

The invention reveals an innovative method and system for an immersive, interactive, augmented reality (AR) experience which empowers buyers of wall art to dynamically engage with the originating artist through a digitally managed overlay on the artworks. Accessible via a user's mobile device, the system unlocks these overlays by digitally scanning the physical artwork, irrespective of its origin - online catalog, external source, or new creations. Amongst several unique features include the… Show more

The invention reveals an innovative method and system for an immersive, interactive, augmented reality (AR) experience which empowers buyers of wall art to dynamically engage with the originating artist through a digitally managed overlay on the artworks. Accessible via a user's mobile device, the system unlocks these overlays by digitally scanning the physical artwork, irrespective of its origin - online catalog, external source, or new creations. Amongst several unique features include the ability to send personalized gift messages crafted within non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and the activation of immersive storytelling content. Additionally, this system empowers artists to manage their virtual overlays to enhance content interaction and provides users post-purchase value like eliciting video testimonials and fostering art knowledge. Importantly, the technology incorporates sales attribution capabilities for third-party marketplace commissions linked to customer visits to artists' digital profiles on social platforms. This sales tracing capability optimizes marketing efforts, identifies efficacious marketplaces, and fosters robust financial analysis. In essence, this immersive art platform revolutionizes conventional art appreciation and artist-customer interaction. Show less

The present application discloses a system and method utilizing a computer algorithm for embedding unobtrusive, reproducible watermarks into visual prints, such as digital artwork. The process uses a randomized seed embedded within an image to create a 'digital signature' unique to the artist, based on selected distinguishing characteristics of their work. The seed serves as an on-chain ownership verification tool, linking the physical artwork to blockchain technology. The embedded watermark… Show more

The present application discloses a system and method utilizing a computer algorithm for embedding unobtrusive, reproducible watermarks into visual prints, such as digital artwork. The process uses a randomized seed embedded within an image to create a 'digital signature' unique to the artist, based on selected distinguishing characteristics of their work. The seed serves as an on-chain ownership verification tool, linking the physical artwork to blockchain technology. The embedded watermark simultaneously assists in tracking and attributing approved distribution channels. The signature not only supports intellectual property integrity but can also enhance visual overlay tracking in augmented reality applications. This invention introduces a novel approach to intellectual property rights, particularly in digital arts, where ownership vests not in the final image's IP but the unique inputs fed into the image generation model. This system offers potential solutions for art originality verification, artist royalty remuneration, artwork authentication for auction houses, blockchain-based art sales platforms, and NFT marketplaces.
