Virtual tastings and guided tours for augmented reality experiences

This invention describes a system for giving virtual guided tours and product tastings using augmented reality eyewear. When the eyewear's camera sees a container, the system identifies it, pulls up information about its contents, and displays that information as an overlay on the screen. An animated character, or avatar, then speaks to the user, answers questions, and guides them through the experience, which can include virtual tastings or tours of places like farms. The claims specifically focus on detecting containers and interacting with the system using a fingertip on a touchpad.
