Abstract
The present application discloses an improved transportation matching system, and corresponding methods and computer-readable media. According to the disclosed embodiments, the transportation matching system utilizes an image-based transportation request interface and environmental digital image stream to efficiently generate transportation requests with accurate pickup locations. For instance, the disclosed system can utilize one or more environmental digital images provided from a requestor computing device (e.g., a mobile device or an augmented reality wearable device) to determine information such as the location of the requestor computing device and a transportation pickup location within the environmental digital images. Furthermore, the disclosed system can provide, for display on the requestor computing device, one or more augmented reality elements at the transportation pickup location within an environmental scene that includes the transportation pickup location.
