  • VOICE NOTES WITH TRANSCRIPTION
    Publication number: 20230206921
    Abstract: A messaging system, which hosts a backend service for an associated messaging client application, includes a voice notes system that addresses the technical problem of serving an audio message to the recipient in a manner that permits the recipient to consume the message in a text format as a transcription. A chat user interface (UI) provided with the voice notes system permits a user to play an audio message or request generation of the transcription of the audio message on-demand to prevent unnecessary cluttering of the UI real estate.

  • DETERMINING GAZE DIRECTION TO GENERATE AUGMENTED REALITY CONTENT
    Publication number: 20240176417
    Abstract: The subject technology determines a gaze direction in a field of view of a user using an eyewear device. The subject technology generates an anchor point in the field of view based at least in part on the determined gaze direction. The subject technology identifies a surface corresponding to a ground plane in the field of view. The subject technology determines a distance from the identified surface to the anchor point. The subject technology generates AR content based at least in part on the determined distance. The subject technology renders the generated AR content in the field of view for display by the eyewear device.
