Patent attributes
Various embodiments provide for recommending products from an electronic catalog that are aesthetically compatible with an existing item in a physical space based on a live camera view of the space, and rendering augmented reality views of the recommended products into the live camera view. Specifically, an image of the existing item is used to search a database of images of designed spaces that includes a corresponding object visually similar to the existing item. The image of the designed space may also include other items that are visually compatible with the corresponding object and therefore visually compatible with the existing item. Thus, the images of the other items are used to search an electronic catalog for available items that are visually similar to the other items and therefore would be visually compatible with the existing item.
