In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes receiving, through a user interface (UI) of an artificial-reality (AR) design tool, a selection of a configurable interface element to place the AR design tool and the UI into a configure phase to configure an AR effect. The computer-implemented method further includes receiving, through the UI of the AR design tool after the AR design tool and the UI are placed into the configure phase in response to selecting the configurable interface element, instructions to add a voice-command module to the AR effect. The computer-implemented method further includes configuring, while the AR design tool and the UI are placed into the configure phase, one or more parameters of the voice-command module. The computer-implemented method further includes generating the AR effect utilizing a particular voice command at runtime based on configured one or more parameters of the voice-command module.

Visual editor for designing augmented-reality effects that utilize voice recognition

Systems, methods, client devices, and non-transitory computer-readable media are disclosed for utilizing video data and video processing data to enable shared augmented reality scenes having video textures depicting participants of video calls as augmented reality (AR) effects during the video calls. For instance, the disclosed systems can establish a video call between client devices that include streaming channels (e.g., a video and audio data channel). In one or more implementations, the disclosed systems enable the client devices to transmit video processing data and video data of a participant through the streaming channel during a video call. Indeed, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems cause the client devices to utilize video data streams and video processing data to render videos as video textures within AR effects in a shared AR scene (or AR space) of the video call (e.g., to depict participants within the AR scene).

Generating shared augmented reality scenes utilizing video textures from video streams of video call participants

A computer-implemented method, comprising, by an artificial-reality (AR) design tool: receiving, through a user interface (UI) of the AR design tool, instructions to add a voice-command module to an AR effect, the voice-command module having an intent type and at least one slot, the slot associated with one or more entities; establishing, according to instructions received through the UI, a logical connection between the slot and a logic module configured to generate the AR effect depending on a runtime value associated with the slot; and generate, for the AR effect, an executable program configured to: determine that a detected utterance corresponds to the intent type and includes one or more words associated with the slot; select, based on the one or more words, one of the one or more entities as the runtime value for the slot; send the runtime value to the logic module according to the logical connection.

Particular embodiments may access one or more images configured to be used for generating an artificial reality (AR) effect. For each image, one or more compressed images may be generated using different compression settings, respectively. For each compressed image, a quality score may be computed based on that compressed image and the associated image from which the compressed image is generated. For each image, a desired quality threshold may be determined, and an optimal compression setting for that image may be determined based on the desired quality threshold and quality scores associated with the one or more compressed images generated from that image, wherein the optimal compression setting corresponds to one of the plurality of different compression settings. Each of the one or more images may be compressed using the associated optimal compression setting to generate and output one or more optimally-compressed images.
