1. A method, comprising:
identifying a product in a feed;
rendering, with a processor, a 3D model of the product superimposed on the product in the feed to provide an augmented reality view, wherein the 3D model comprises a representation of one or more components of the product and information associated with the one or more components;
displaying the 3D model in the augmented reality view by superimposing the 3D model on the product in the feed, wherein the representation is mapped to the product in the feed;
highlighting, in the augmented reality view, the one or more components and the information associated with the one or more components on the 3D model of the product in a sequence corresponding to an order to perform an operation on the product, wherein the highlighting is performed in response to a user selection of the one or more components manipulated directly on the product to perform the operation; and
removing, in response to an expiration of a predetermined period of time, at least a portion of the 3D model, in response to determining that a corresponding portion of the product no longer appears within the feed.
