Abstract: In some implementations, the disclosed systems and methods can capture visual frames and an object manager can recognize a visual signal within the captured visual frames, such as a QR code. In some implementations, the disclosed systems and methods can participate in a private conference within a session.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure can allow users to participate in artificial reality (XR) coworking spaces on two-dimensional (2D) interfaces, such as computers, mobile devices, etc. Users can join a “quiet” virtual coworking space in which they can see representations of other users within the space (including XR users), but without sound. From the virtual coworking space, a user can request to start a conversation with another user, which can send a non-audible notification to the other user, thus being less intrusive to the other user. The other user can join the conversation at their convenience, and be transported to a virtual conference room with the requesting user to engage in audio and/or video discussion. Other users within the virtual coworking space can see the attendees within the virtual conference room, and join the virtual conference room by being invited, or simply clicking to join, without permission needed.

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: 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.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to a VC/XR connection system that can establish and administer an XR space for a video call. The VC/XR connection system allows users to easily transition from a typical video call experience to the XR space, simply by putting on her artificial reality device. The VC/XR connection system can identify calendared video call events, establish corresponding XR spaces, and create a link between the video call and the XR space. Invitees to the video call that don an artificial reality device can be automatically taken into the XR space. The XR space can A) connect to the video call as a call participant, allowing the video call participants to see into the XR space and B) show a feed of the video call in the XR space, allowing users in the XR space to see the video call participants.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to a mapping communication system that creates a 3D model of a real-world space and places a virtual camera in the 3D model. As the mapping communication system detects changes in the space, it can provide scan updates to keep the 3D model close to a live representation of the space. Further aspects of the present disclosure are directed to traveling a user to an artificial reality (XR) environment using an intent configured XR link. Yet further aspects of the present disclosure are directed to improving audio latency by performing audio processing off-headset for artificial reality (XR) experiences.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to a collaborative workspace for an artificial reality (XR) environment. Some implementations can take advantage of the capabilities of XR systems when working on collaborative large documents, such as design sheets and spreadsheets. For example, when a user launches a link to a large design sheet in XR, the workspace can show both a large view of the entire collaborative design space, as well as a personal viewport into the area of the design space that the user is working on. The workspace can include a number of collaboration controls, such as being able to follow someone else's viewport, filtering of the large view to include only the area of the sheet where a user's team is working, replaying a user's edits or view while moving around the design sheet, etc.
