Abstract

In various example embodiments, a system and method for modifying publications of a network-based publication system are presented. The system receives a set of body coordinates from a client device and associates the set of body coordinates with a user account. The system identifies a set of clothing images within a set of publications retrieved as a result of a query. The system generates a set of modified clothing images from one or more images of the set of clothing images and causes presentation of the set of modified clothing images at the client device.

associating the set of body coordinates with a user account of a first user,

identifying a set of clothing images matching a query based on at least one body coordinate of the set of body coordinates, the set of clothing images identified from a plurality of images associated with a publication;

generating a modified publication comprising;

an unmodified clothing image from the set of clothing images,

a modified clothing image, and

a set of modified user interface elements, the modified clothing image comprising a template clothing image and an overlay, the template clothing image comprising a copy of the unmodified clothing image, the overlay comprising, a representation of one or more body coordinates of the set of body coordinates, the set of modified user interface elements generated by selectively removing one or more user interface elements unassociated with at least a portion of the set of body coordinates;

detecting an interaction with the unmodified clothing; and

in response to the interaction with the clothing image, causing presentation, by the one or more processors, of at least a portion of the unmodified clothing image and the modified clothing image at a client device within the modified publication.

11. The system of claim 10, wherein associating the set of body coordinates with the user account further comprises:

generating a body coordinate file from the set of body coordinates; and

associating the body coordinate file with the user account.

12. The system of claim 10, wherein identifying the set of clothing images further comprises:

receiving the query, the query comprising one or more characteristics of an article of clothing;

identifying one or more publications on a network based publication system, the one or more publications representing one or more articles of clothing associated with the one or more characteristics;
