1. A method that generates three dimensional (3D) models based on images in a media content event, the method comprising:

  • receiving, at a media device, a user request that is associated with an interest by a user to obtain a 3D model of a physical object of interest that is being shown in a scene of a media content event that the user is currently viewing;

    accessing a first video image frame of the scene of the media content event, wherein the first video image frame corresponds to a video image presented in the scene of the media content event at a time that the user request is generated;

    identifying a candidate physical object that is shown in the accessed first video image frame;

    generating an image of the candidate physical object using the accessed first video image frame;

    generating a user confirmation image that is presentable to the user, wherein the user confirmation image includes the generated image of the candidate physical object;

    receiving a user response,wherein the user response indicates that the candidate physical object corresponds to the physical object of interest that the user is interested in, orwherein the user response indicates that the candidate physical object does not correspond to the physical object of interest that the user is interested in;

    defining the candidate physical object as the physical object of interest when the user response indicates that the candidate physical object corresponds to the physical object of interest that the user is interested in;

    accessing a plurality of second video image frames, wherein the plurality of second video image frames are accessed from the scene of the media content event that was presented to the user at the time that the user request is generated;

    generating an image of the physical object of interest from each one of the plurality of second video image frames when the physical object of interest is identified in the plurality of second video image frames; and

    generating 3D model data based on at least the images of the physical object of interest that are generated from the first video image frame and the plurality of second video image frames that were accessed from the scene of the media content event that was presented to the user at the time that the user request is generated.
