Abstract: A virtual object system can coordinate interactions between multiple virtual objects in an artificial reality environment. Embodiments receive a first virtual object, the first virtual object including first properties, where the artificial reality environment is set in a real-world environment. Embodiments register the first properties of the first virtual object to receive notifications of events from the artificial reality environment. Embodiments receive one or more queries from a second virtual object and in response to the one or more queries, respond to the second virtual object with identified features of the real-world environment in which the artificial reality environment is set and identifications of one or more other virtual objects (e.g., the first virtual object). The second virtual object can use the identification of the first virtual object to register for events related to the first virtual object and/or communicate with the first virtual object.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to shared sessions in artificial reality environments. Some implementations provide for application-level co-location that uses an application programming interface to connect co-located users (i.e., a local group) within a particular application. Some implementations can detect co-located users using existing proximity detection technologies. The application can make a call to identify the co-located users, generate a shared session for the co-located users specific to that application, and share session data with the co-located users, which can include spatial anchors, scene data, guardian data, etc. Other implementations provide for system-level co-location that allows for frictionless travel between multiple applications.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a system includes an automatic speech recognition (ASR) module, a natural-language understanding (NLU) module, a dialog manager, one or more agents, an arbitrator, a delivery system, one or more processors, and a non-transitory memory coupled to the processors comprising instructions executable by the processors, the processors operable when executing the instructions to receive a user input, process the user input using the ASR module, the NLU module, the dialog manager, one or more of the agents, the arbitrator, and the delivery system, and provide a response to the user input.

Abstract: A method includes determining an operating condition associated with a mobile device based on contextual information associated with one or more of usage information of the mobile device, user activity of a user of the mobile device, or location information. If the operating condition satisfies a threshold power-consumption condition, the method further includes adjusting a frequency of collecting location information of the mobile device and collecting information on a plurality of locations associated with the mobile device for a particular time period based on the adjusted frequency of collecting the location information.

Abstract: Systems and techniques are described that enable users to interact and share content through a social network application and/or service with other users. A social networking system may receive status information (e.g., a heartbeat) associated with a first account, where the status information includes first location information and/or first activity information associated with the first account, and may determine a status signal based at least in part on a context associated with the first account and the status information. The social networking system may determine a status associated with the first account, where the status includes second location information and/or second activity information associated with the user device which is less specific than the first location information and first activity information. The social network system may send the status to a second account.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a technique including receiving, from a client system of a user, a first location of the client system. The technique further including receiving, from the client system, an ID of an access point detected by the client system. The technique also including accessing, by the one or more computing devices, an index to determine a second location of the access point based on the ID. The technique further including determining, by the one or more computing devices, a refined location of the client system based on the first location and the second location. The technique also including generating, by the one or more computing devices, a prioritized list of regions based on the refined location and user data. The technique further including transmitting, by the one or more computing devices, information associated with the prioritized list of regions to the client system.
