  • Publication number: 20220253195
    Abstract: Methods and systems for integrating functionality of XR devices and non-XR devices are disclosed herein. An XR device can identify and obtain one or more content items being displayed on non-XR devices and create virtual objects associated with the content item in an artificial reality environment of the XR device. A user of the XR device can interact with the virtual objects, such as by moving the virtual objects to new locations within the artificial reality environment or interact with the virtual objects to view the content items. The user of the XR device can also provide one or more gestures or commands to send content items or identifiers of content items associated with the virtual objects to non-XR devices for display at the non-XR devices.

  • Patent number: 11409405
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to an artificial reality system orchestrating interactions between virtual object “augments.” The orchestration can include linking, which can be forming two or more augments into a combination, embedding an augment within an existing combination, or triggering an action mapped to the linking of those augments. Another type of orchestration can include extracting, which can refer to taking an augment out of an existing combination, either by removing it from the combination or copying the augment to leave a version in the combination and having another version outside the combination.
