Abstract: Systems and methods enable users to engage in meaningful, authentic, online interactions by extracting objects (virtual or real) from an image or video and transferring the extracted objects into a real-world environment of another user in three-dimensional augmented reality. An object to be sent from the first user to the second user is generated using a drawing application, extracted from an image or a video, or an AR object is captured. A video is recorded showing the object responding to an action of the first user and metadata is generated relating to the response of the object to the action of the first user. The video and metadata are sent to the second user. Upon receipt, the video is watched by the second user and the object is selected for presentation in a display environment of the second user. The state of the object is preserved by the metadata.

Abstract: The disclosed technology is directed towards virtual reality bookmarks that maintain state data for a user in a virtual reality environment, such that the user can to return to that virtual reality environment at a later time. While presenting virtual reality session content to a user, a system or the like can receive a request to pause the virtual reality session from a user. Session state data, e.g., in the form of a virtual reality bookmark, is saved based on the pause request.

A pause request may be for an individual user or for each user participating in a session. Virtual reality bookmarks may be shared with other users.
