Original Abstract Submitted

Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system for presenting AR items. The system performs operations including receiving a video that includes a depiction of one or more real-world objects in a real-world environment and obtaining depth data related to the real-world environment. The operations include generating a three-dimensional (3D) model of the real-world environment based on the video and the depth data and adding an augmented reality (AR) item to the video based on the 3D model of the real-world environment. The operations include determining that the AR item has been placed on a vertical plane of the real-world environment and modifying an orientation of the AR item to correspond to an orientation of the vertical plane.
