Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to gesture-based user interfaces (UIs) for artificial reality (XR) messaging applications. By supplementing or replacing “gaze to tap” user interfaces with “ultra low friction” (ULF) gestures, a user is not required to repeatedly remove his focus from the real world to gaze at menu options in order to select them. The ULF gestures can include, for example, a single pinch motion to tell a messaging application to start recording a voice message. Releasing the pinch stops the recording and allows for editing, while a snap (or tug right) can stop the recording and send the message immediately. A tug left can delete the message unsent. Adding these ULF gestures to the messaging application's UI allows the user to fully engage with the application while maintaining visual focus on the real world, thus encouraging the user to remain connected through the XR system.

Abstract: A method of determining an AR UI to present of a plurality of AR UIs is described. The method includes, in response to an indication to present user-interactable content via an augmented-reality (AR) headset, selecting an AR user interface (UI) of a plurality of AR UIs for presenting user-interactable content. The method includes, in accordance with a determination, based on sensor data obtained by the AR headset, that the AR headset satisfies a movement dwell threshold time, presenting the user-interactable content in a user-position based AR UI of the plurality of AR UI. And the method includes, in accordance with another determination, distinct from the determination, based on other sensor data obtained by the AR headset, that the AR headset satisfies a movement threshold, presenting the user-interactable content in a user-motion based AR UI of a plurality of AR UIs.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and storage media for transmitting three-dimensional (3D) objects via messaging applications are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: receive, at a first device running a messaging application, a message from a second device; import the 3D object to a personal account of a user of the first device; and display the 3D object in the messaging application.

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.

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.

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.
