    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to creating virtual doors within artificial reality (XR) universes for traversal within that XR universe and between other XR universes. Users can create virtual doors that control access to their privately owned property (e.g., world, parcel, house, etc.) in an XR universe. For example, an owner of a virtual door can manually lock the door to prevent any user from entering their property through the virtual door. As another example, an owner of a virtual door can configure door permissions and/or privacy settings that serve as heuristics by which a door access control manager determines whether to authorize a particular user, XR world, and/or XR universe to access. The XR universe traversal system can control an execution environment to smoothly transition between different applications, thereby enabling a user to traverse between different XR universes without having to leave the XR environment.

    Abstract: A method for switching a configuration of an enhanced reality headset is provided. The method includes identifying a scenario to switch a configuration of an enhanced reality headset between a virtual reality configuration, an augmented reality configuration, and a direct reality configuration, wherein the virtual reality configuration and the augmented reality configuration include a computer generated image, and the direct reality configuration and the augmented reality configuration include a real-time image of an environment of a user of the enhanced reality headset. The method includes providing a notification to a user of the enhanced reality headset including an intent to switch the configuration of the enhanced reality headset, and switching the configuration of the enhanced reality headset according to the scenario.

    Abstract: Implementations can provide a virtual separate space with respect to a virtual venue hosting a virtual reality (VR) experience, such as a concert, a sports game, a meeting, etc., e.g., to replicate the feeling of a side conversation to discuss the VR experience. Some implementations can create a more intimate experience for users viewing a VR experience by providing a quiet, curated space that can be customized, e.g., by changing the look of users' avatars and their virtual environment, without their interactions being observed by others viewing the VR experience at the virtual venue. The virtual separate space can include a moderated version of the VR experience, such as a smaller version of the VR experience with the sounds of the VR experience muffled. Thus, users within the virtual separate space can step away from the VR experience to enter a more controlled environment, while still enjoying the VR experience.
