Abstract

In the disclosed systems and methods for competitive scene completion, a user selects a first scene completion challenge that comprises an image of an initial scene and a plurality of markers. Each marker has a designated set of coordinates within the initial scene and corresponds to a furnishing unit type. For each user marker selection, virtual furnishing units corresponding to the unit type are displayed. User unit selection results in display of a three-dimensional graphic of the selected virtual furnishing unit at the corresponding coordinates within the scene, thereby creating an augmented scene that comprises the initial scene with three-dimensional graphics of selected virtual furnishing units. The augmented scene or user selections of virtual furnishing units is submitted to a remote server. The user is provided with a reward.
