SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PRINTING THREE-DIMENSIONAL OBJECTS AS A REWARD

摘要

Methods and systems are provided for providing as a reward an object for 3D printing. These methods and systems are provided by way of measuring an engagement level of a user with a user equipment device during a portion of a video presented to the user and identifying an object presented within the video being viewed by the user. The object associated with the media asset may be selected based on the user's viewing history. For example, in a scene where a coffee mug and a toy figurine are presented, and the user watching the video including the scene has previously viewed cartoons related to the toy figurine, the toy figurine may be selected based on the user's viewing history. A design file describing a three-dimensional representation of the object might be retrieved, and a request may be transmitted to a printer to print the three-dimensional representation of the object.
