based on the first user's physical location and a GPS located boundary and based on a representation of the first user's personality, providing an augmented reality display of a three-dimensional marketing model hovering over the representation of a real-world environment to the first user, the three-dimensional marketing model representing a marketing opportunity, wherein the representation of the first user's personality is based on answers provided by the first user to a plurality of questions; allowing the first user to engage with the three-dimensional marketing model; producing metrics based on the first user's engagement with the three-dimensional marketing model; and displaying to the first user a visual display graphic based on the representation of the first user's personality. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) A method according to claim 1, wherein said providing an augmented reality display of a three-dimensional marketing model to the first user is also based on an interest or activity of the first user. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) A method according to claim 1, wherein the three-dimensional marketing model includes a transparent video. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) A method according to claim 1, wherein the three-dimensional marketing model moves based on a tap by the first user. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) A method according to claim 1, wherein the three-dimensional marketing model moves based on being triggered by the GPS located boundary. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) A method according to claim 1, wherein the three-dimensional marketing model makes sounds based on a tap by the first user. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) A method according to claim 1, wherein the three-dimensional marketing model makes sounds based on being triggered by the GPS located boundary. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) A method according to claim 1, wherein the three-dimensional marketing model is forwarded to a second user by the first user. ### Claim 9 A method of interacting in a social media platform, the method comprising: providing a first augmented reality user interface to a first user of a social media platform, the first augmented reality user interface including a first display of user posts representing user generated content of other users, the user posts being superimposed over a representation of a real-world environment obtained via a camera of a first mobile device of the first user; based on the first user's physical location and a GPS located boundary and based on a representation of the first user's personality, providing an augmented reality display of a three-dimensional marketing model hovering over the representation of a real-world environment to the first user, the three-dimensional marketing model representing a marketing opportunity, wherein the representation of the first user's personality is based on answers provided by the first user to a plurality of questions; allowing the first user to engage with the three-dimensional marketing model, wherein the three-dimensional marketing model moves and makes sounds based on a tap from the first user or a trigger based on the GPS located boundary; producing metrics based on the first user's engagement with the three-dimensional marketing model; and displaying to the first user a visual display graphic based on the representation of the first user's personality. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) A method according to claim 9, wherein said providing an augmented reality display of a three-dimensional marketing model to the first user is also based on a personality, interest, or activity of the first user. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) A method according to claim 9, wherein the three-dimensional marketing model includes a transparent video. ### Claim 12 A method of interacting in a social media platform, the method comprising: providing a first augmented reality user interface to a first user of a social media platform, the first augmented reality user interface including a first display of user posts representing user generated content of other users, the user posts being superimposed over a representation of a real-world environment obtained via a camera of a first mobile device of the first user; based on the first user's physical location and a GPS located boundary and based on a representation of the first user's personality, providing an augmented reality display of a three-dimensional marketing model hovering over the representation of a real-world environment to the first user, the three-dimensional marketing model representing a marketing opportunity and including a transparent video, wherein the representation of the first user's personality is based on answers provided by the first user to a plurality of questions; allowing the first user to engage with the three-dimensional marketing model, wherein the three-dimensional marketing model moves and makes sounds based on a tap from the first user or a trigger based on the GPS located boundary; producing metrics based on the first user's engagement with the three-dimensional marketing model; and displaying to the first user a visual display graphic based on the representation of the first user's personality. ### Claim 13 (depends on 9) A method according to claim 9, wherein the three-dimensional marketing model is forwarded to a second user by the first user. ### Claim 14 (depends on 12) A method according to claim 12, wherein the three-dimensional marketing model is forwarded to a second user by the first user. ### Claim 15 (depends on 12) A method according to claim 12, wherein said providing an augmented reality display of a three-dimensional marketing model to the first user is also based on an interest or activity of the first user.
