Abstract: Systems and methods for smart message delivery for message handoff between communication devices and artificial reality systems are provided. In various examples, a communication device or HMD may receive a message initiating a detection of motion(s) and/or position(s) of the communication device and/or the HMD associated with a user with respect to each other. The communication device and/or the HMD may determine a movement level associated with each other, and based on the movement level relative to a predetermined threshold a message delivery process may be determined. If the predetermined threshold is not met, the message may be output to a user via audio and if the predetermined threshold is met, text associated with the message may be presented by the communication device for the user to read.

In some implementations, the disclosed systems and methods can be animated via user tracking. Some user systems may lack video tracking and/or comprise inconsistent video tracking. In some implementations, the disclosed systems and methods can display content for a screen in a pass-through visualization.
