Abstract

Methods and systems are disclosed for controlling connected devices. For example, a messaging application implemented on a client device detects a real-world object depicted in a captured image and determines a current location of the client device. The messaging application identifies a plurality of video cameras associated with the current location and selects a first video camera from the plurality of video cameras based on one or more attributes of the real-world object depicted in the image. The messaging application receives a video feed from the first video camera that is selected and causes the video feed received from the first video camera to be displayed on top of the real-world object depicted in the captured image.
