  • Patent number: 11816757
    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.

  • Patent number: 11416067
    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.

  • Patent number: 10609210
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method may include (i) identifying a set of launch icons for a graphical user interface, where each launch icon within the set of launch icons navigates to a corresponding activity within a set of activities when selected via the graphical user interface, (ii) selecting, from the set of activities and based on at least one recommendation criterion, a smaller subset of recommended activities for a user, (iii) displaying, via the graphical user interface, a dock that includes a subset of launch icons corresponding to the subset of recommended activities, (iv) receiving, via the graphical user interface, an input to view a drawer element that includes each launch icon within the set of launch icons, and (v) presenting, via the graphical user interface, the drawer element in response to receiving the input. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
