1. A method comprising:
- facilitating shopping for a tangible object via a network using a mobile device;
obtaining a graphical representation of a scene of a local environment using a sensor of the mobile device;
obtaining, via the network, graphical object data that enables a three-dimensional representation of the tangible object to be rendered on the mobile device, wherein the graphical object data is obtained in response to a shopping selection; and
displaying, via the mobile device, the three-dimensional representation of the tangible object with the graphical representation of the scene so that the appearance of the tangible object in the scene is simulated.

Abstract
Facilitating shopping for a tangible object via a network using a mobile device involves obtaining a graphical representation of a scene of a local environment using a sensor of the mobile device. Graphical object data that enables a three-dimensional representation of the tangible object to be rendered on the mobile device is obtained via the network, in response to a shopping selection. The three-dimensional representation of the tangible object is displayed with the graphical representation of the scene via the mobile device so that the appearance of the tangible object in the scene is simulated.

21. A server, comprising:
-
a network interface capable of communicating via a network; a processor coupled to the network interface; and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory including instructions that cause the processor to, receive a request for e-commerce data related to a tangible object from a mobile device that is shopping for the tangible object via the network; determine, based on the request, graphical object data that enables a three-dimensional representation of the tangible object to be rendered on the mobile device; and send the e-commerce data and graphical object data to the mobile device so that the three-dimensional representation of the tangible object can be overlaid with a scene taken from a camera of the mobile device. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23)
