  • Publication number: 20230215120
    Abstract: The present embodiments relate to display of glints associated with real-world objects in an environment displayed on an extra reality (XR) device. The glint can include a virtual object associated with a real-world object, such as an indication of a social interaction associated with a real-world object, a content item tagged to an object, etc. The system as described herein can present glints on a display of an XR device based on a distance between the XR device and a location associated with the glint. Responsive to selection of a glint in the environment, additional information can be presented relating to the glint or another action can be taken, such as to open an application. In some instances, a glint can include a series of search results relating to a corresponding real-world object to provide additional information relating to the real-world object.

  • Publication number: 20220165013
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to an avatar reaction system in which messaging can be initiated via an avatar. Aspects are also directed to automated controls for connecting an artificial reality trigger to an action. Aspects are further directed to adding a like to a gesture target based on interpreting a gesture. Aspects are yet further directed to administering a conversation thread, for a game, over a messaging platform. Additional aspects are directed to connecting a game with a conversation thread to coordinate game challenges. Further aspects are directed to establishing a shared space for a 3D call with participants' hologram representations mirrored as compared to how images of the participants are captured. Yet further aspects of the present disclosure are directed to scanning a physical space to onboard it as a messaging inbox and providing the scanned space for delivery point selection to a message sender.

  • Publication number: 20220139041
    Abstract: In some implementations, the disclosed systems and methods can automatically generate seller listing titles and descriptions for products; set a follow-me mode for various virtual objects, causing the virtual objects to be displayed as word-locked or body-locked in response to a current mode for the virtual objects and the location of the user of the XR device in relation to various anchor points for the virtual objects; create and/or apply XR profiles that specify one or more triggers for one or more effects that are applied to a user when the triggers are satisfied; and/or enable addition of external content in 3D applications.
