Abstract
A virtual shop application operating on a user device presents a virtual shop of a social networking system. The virtual shop displays a set of virtual goods/items available for purchase by users. Sensor information is captured by one or more sensors based on movement of the user device. Based on the sensor information, the displayed virtual goods are each oriented with respect to a stationary point.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving, by a user device, a request to access a virtual shop associated with a social networking system;
- obtaining, by the user device, virtual good data from the social networking system, the virtual good data indicating at least one virtual good available for purchase from the social networking system;
- identifying, by the user device, first sensor information from one or more sensors, the first sensor information including at least first acceleration data for the user device;
- presenting, by the user device, the virtual good on a display with respect to a virtual hook, wherein presentation of the virtual good with respect to the virtual hook is based on the first sensor information;
- identifying, by the user device, second sensor information from the one or more sensors, the second sensor information including at least second acceleration data for the user device, the second sensor information generated after the first sensor information;
- and
- presenting, by the user device on the display, rotational movement of the virtual good with respect to the virtual hook based on the second sensor information.

A computer-implemented method comprising:
- presenting, by a user device on a display, a virtual item available for purchase;
- identifying, by the user device, sensor information generated by one or more sensors, the sensor information indicating movement of the user device;
- simulating, by the user device, movement of the virtual item with respect to an orientation point based on the sensor information.
