US 2024/0404169 A1 · INTEGRATING AUGMENTED REALITY INTO THE WEB VIEW PLATFORM

Abstract

A methodology is described that provides access to an augmented reality (AR) component maintained by a messaging server system directly from a web view application. When a user activates, from a web view application executing in the messaging client, a user selectable element that references an AR component, a web view AR system obtains the identification of the AR component, performs validation of the identification and of any additional launch data, and launches a camera view user interface (UI) with the AR component loaded in the camera view UI. Content captured from the camera view UI can be shared to other computing devices.

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

loading a web view application in a web view provided by an embedded web browser of a software application executing at a computing device, the web view including a user selectable element;
and
in response to activation of the user selectable element, loading an augmented reality (AR) component in a camera view user interface (UI) of the software application, the camera view UI including an output of a digital image sensor of a camera and a shutter user selectable element actionable to capture the output of the digital image sensor of the camera, the AR component configured to apply a modification to a content item, the loading of the AR component in the camera view UI comprising applying the modification to the output of the digital image sensor.

A system comprising:

one or more processors;
and
a non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions that when executed by the one or processors cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
loading a web view application in a web view provided by an embedded web browser of a software application executing at a computing device, the web view including a user selectable element;
and
in response to activation of the user selectable element, loading an augmented reality (AR) component in a camera view user interface (UI) of the software application, the camera view UI including an output of a digital image sensor of a camera and a shutter user selectable element actionable to capture the output of the digital image sensor of the camera, the AR component configured to apply a modification to a content item, the loading of the AR component in the camera view UI comprising applying the modification to the output of the digital image sensor.
