Abstract

In some aspects, control circuitry may receive a selection of a foreground object presented in a video scene being viewed by the user. Based on the selection of the foreground object, control circuitry may ascertain a background object from the video scene. By ascertaining an object, control circuitry may be able to identify an object, and prepare for modification a design file for the 3D printing of that object. Control circuitry may determine an attribute of the foreground object. Based on the determined foreground object attribute, control circuitry may modify a parameter of a design file for printing a 3D printing of the background object.
