Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure can map a virtual desk corresponding to a user's real-world desk into a virtual working space. The virtual working space can include pods of individual workspaces with each user seeing into their coworkers' individual workspaces in virtual reality (VR). Some implementations can allow users to merge their individual virtual workspaces into a shared virtual workspace, such as a shared virtual meeting table in the virtual workspace. For example, a user can invite another user to merge workspaces, and, upon acceptance, some implementations can map each user's real-world desk to the shared virtual meeting table in VR. Once the shared virtual meeting table is formed, other users can join, causing the shared virtual meeting table to further expand into the virtual workspace.

Abstract: A room manager can generate mappings for a real-world room that support a shared XR environment. For example, the real-world room can include real-world objects and surfaces, such as a table(s), chair(s), wall(s), door(s), window(s), etc. The room manager can generate XR object definitions based on information received about the real-world room, object(s), and surface(s). For example, the room manager can implement a flow that guides a user equipped with an XR system to provide information for the XR object definitions, such as real-world surfaces that map to the XR object(s), borders (e.g., measured using a component of the XR system), such as borders on real-world surfaces, semantic information (e.g., number of seat assignments at an XR table, size of XR objects, etc.), and other suitable information. Implementations generate previews of the shared XR environment, such as a local preview and a remote preview.

Abstract: Technology described herein is directed to mitigating avatar display disruption, in an artificial reality environment, resulting from losses in user tracking. The technology can use an artificial reality device to continually determine contextual characteristics of the user that can correspond to placements of one or more portions of the user's body with respect to another portion thereof and/or one or more real-world objects. A user state, corresponding to a contextual characteristic occurring at a time of an interruption in the tracking, can define a bodily configuration of the user that can be with respect to the one or more real-world objects when the interruption occurs. The technology can, according to an avatar pose assigned to the user state, animate the avatar to the assigned pose when the interruption occurs and immediately reinitiate animation from that pose upon regaining tracking of the user's pose.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to creating and administering artificial reality collaborative working environments and providing interaction modes for them. An XR work system can provide and control such artificial reality collaborative working environments to enable, for example, A) links between real-world surfaces and XR surfaces; B) links between multiple real-world areas to XR areas with dedicated functionality; C) maintaining access, while inside the artificial reality working environment, to real-world work tools such as the user's computer screen and keyboard; D) various hand and controller modes for different interaction and collaboration modalities; E) use-based, multi-desk collaborative room configurations; and F) context-based auto population of users and content items into the artificial reality working environment.
