A method and system for virtual object interactions based on code scanning. The method includes scanning, at a first device, a code (e.g., quick response (QR) code) printed on an object in a physical reality within a field of view (FOV) of a user. The method also includes accessing a network site associated with the object based on the code. The method also includes generating virtual content including at least one virtual object based on the network site. The method also includes displaying the virtual content in the first device. The method also includes navigating the virtual content in response to a gesture from the user.

Code scanning via augmented reality device

Methods, systems, and storage media for transmitting three-dimensional (3D) objects via messaging applications are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: receive, at a first device running a messaging application, a message from a second device; import the 3D object to a personal account of a user of the first device; and display the 3D object in the messaging application.

Transmitting three-dimensional objects via messenger

Methods, systems, and storage media for initiating communication between artificial reality devices are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: enable a discovery setting by a first user wearing a first artificial reality device; detect a presence of at least a second user wearing a second artificial reality device; determine a familiarity level of the first user with the second user; and in response to the familiarity level breaching a familiarity threshold, initiate a call with the second artificial reality device by the first artificial reality device, the call including an interaction in an artificial reality environment accessed via the first artificial reality device and the second artificial reality device.
