Original Abstract Submitted
aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing a program and a method for performing operations comprising: receiving, from a client device of a first user, a request from the first user to engage in an ar shopping experience curated by a store; identifying a first real-world product available for purchase from the store; receiving an image of a real-world environment of the first user; generating a first ar item that represents the first real-world product; comparing visual attributes of the first ar item to physical layouts of a plurality of real-world objects depicted in the image of the real-world environment; and overlaying the first ar item on a first real-world object of the plurality of real-world objects in the image responsive to comparing the visual attributes of the first ar item to the physical layouts of the plurality of real-world objects.
