Shared augmented reality unboxing experience

A system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a memory component having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
• displaying, in a communication session between a plurality of users, an icon that represents a shared augmented reality experience comprising a shared virtual box that is in a closed state, the shared augmented reality experience being generated by an individual user of the plurality of users;
• receiving inputs from a first device of a plurality of devices and a second device of the plurality of devices that select the icon;
• in response to receiving the inputs, launching the shared augmented reality experience on the first device and the second device;
• obtaining a sequence of triggers associated with the shared virtual box in the shared augmented reality experience, the sequence of triggers configured to change the shared virtual box from the closed state to an open state, at least one trigger of the sequence of triggers comprising:
• receiving, from the first device, a first gesture input that applies a force to the shared virtual box to move the shared virtual box towards a direction of a user of the second device;
• receiving, from the second device, a second gesture input that applies a force to the shared virtual box to move the shared virtual box towards a direction of a user of the first device;
• and
• incrementing a counter each time the shared virtual box is moved between the user of the first device and the user of the second device, the at least one trigger being satisfied in response to the counter reaching a threshold value;
• and
• displaying, in the shared augmented reality experience, a progress bar indicating how many triggers of the sequence of triggers have currently been successfully performed and how many triggers remain to be performed in the sequence of triggers.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

• displaying, in a communication session between a plurality of users, an icon that represents a shared augmented reality experience comprising a shared virtual box that is in a closed state, the shared augmented reality experience being generated by an individual user of the plurality of users;
• receiving inputs from a first device of a plurality of devices and a second device of the plurality of devices that select the icon;
• in response to receiving the inputs, launching the shared augmented reality experience on the first device and the second device;
• obtaining a sequence of triggers associated with the shared virtual box in the shared augmented reality experience, the sequence of triggers configured to change the shared virtual box from the closed state to an open state, at least one trigger of the sequence of triggers comprising:
• receiving, from the first device, a first gesture input that applies a force to the shared virtual box to move the shared virtual box towards a direction of a user of the second device;
• receiving, from the second device, a second gesture input that applies a force to the shared virtual box to move the shared virtual box towards a direction of a user of the first device;
• and
• incrementing a counter each time the shared virtual box is moved between the user of the first device and the user of the second device, the at least one trigger being satisfied in response to the counter reaching a threshold value;
• and
• displaying, in the shared augmented reality experience, a progress bar indicating how many triggers of the sequence of triggers have currently been successfully performed and how many triggers remain to be performed in the sequence of triggers.
