Systems and methods for incrementally downloading augmented-reality effects

Abstract:

In one embodiment, a method for presenting an augmented reality effect may include receiving, by a computing system, a request for downloading an augmented reality effect, which may include a plurality of elements. The system may select a first subset of elements among the plurality of elements based on one or more predefined rules. The first subset of elements may be transmitted to the client device for display. The system may transmit a remaining subset of elements of the plurality of elements to the client device for display after the transmitting of the first subset of elements is complete. The augmented reality effect may be configured to launch and display at least one element of the first subset of elements prior to the remaining subset of elements is received by the client device.
