Memories and moments in augmented reality (AR)

A system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, configure the system to perform operations comprising:
• causing presentation of a camera interface, the camera interface to display a first image captured by a camera of a computing device of a first user;
• causing presentation of a plurality of image augmentation icons within the camera interface, each of the plurality of image augmentation icons being associated with a respective image augmentation mechanism;
• detecting user selection of an auxiliary image augmentation icon of the plurality of image augmentation icons, the auxiliary image augmentation icon being associated with an auxiliary image augmentation mechanism;
• determining an auxiliary image selection criterion for the auxiliary image augmentation mechanism;
• selecting a set of auxiliary images based on the auxiliary image selection criterion, the set of auxiliary images being selected from a plurality of photographs associated with the first user;
• and
• overlaying the set of auxiliary images on the first image to generate a composite image that is presented within the camera interface, the set of auxiliary images being user-selectable to view each auxiliary image in the set of auxiliary images.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, the computer-readable storage medium including instructions that when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform operations comprising:

• causing presentation of a camera interface, the camera interface to display a first image captured by a camera of a computing device of a first user;
• causing presentation of a plurality of image augmentation icons within the camera interface, each of the plurality of image augmentation icons being associated with a respective image augmentation mechanism;
• detecting user selection of an auxiliary image augmentation icon of the plurality of image augmentation icons, the auxiliary image augmentation icon being associated with an auxiliary image augmentation mechanism;
• determining an auxiliary image selection criterion for the auxiliary image augmentation mechanism;
• selecting a set of auxiliary images based on the auxiliary image selection criterion, the set of auxiliary images being selected from a plurality of photographs associated with the first user;
• and
• overlaying the set of auxiliary images on the first image to generate a composite image that is presented within the camera interface, the set of auxiliary images being user-selectable to view each auxiliary image in the set of auxiliary images.
