Abstract: The disclosure describes artificial reality systems and techniques for saving and exporting artificial reality data. For example, an artificial reality system includes an application engine configured to generate artificial reality content based on a pose of a user participating in an artificial reality environment and a head-mounted display (HMD) configured to output the artificial reality content to the user. The HMD includes a buffer configured to hold data representative of the artificial reality environment during a time window on a rolling basis and a capture engine configured to, in response to user input, capture the data representative of the artificial reality environment held in the buffer at a point in time at which the user input was received.

Abstract: In general, this disclosure describes a suspend mode feature for artificial reality systems and, more specifically, system configurations and techniques for generating a suspend mode environment during execution of an artificial reality application, and presenting and controlling user interface (UI) elements within the suspend mode environment. The suspend mode feature enables a user interacting with one or more other users (or one or more avatars corresponding to the one or more other users) within an artificial reality (AR) environment to suspend the AR environment from the user's perspective. While in the suspend mode environment, the user is able to view and select the other users from the AR environment. For example, the user may select another user to friend, message, mute, block, or report that user from the suspend mode environment.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a method for identifying and describing a group, a coordinating device, and a computer program product. The method includes: accumulating a staying time of a plurality of avatars staying at a certain location, wherein the avatars are controlled by a plurality of users; identifying the avatars as a specific ad-hoc group and monitoring a plurality of interactive behaviors between the avatars if the staying time exceeds a time threshold; providing at least one of the users with a questionnaire based on the interactive behaviors; generating a group description about the specific group formed by the avatars based on a plurality of answers of the at least one of the users on answering the questionnaire; and communicating this description to other users.
