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

A user uses 'snap points' to activate virtual objects and/or to transition virtual objects from body-locked or head-locked (i.e., “leashed”) to world-locked. A snap point is a specific location in the user's artificial-reality (XR) world. When the user assumes a position near to where he was when he previously defined a snap point, the object ceases to be leashed and instead locks to the snap point (i.e., the object becomes “world-locked”). Until the user's distance from where he was when he defined the snap point exceeds a threshold value, the object remains stably world-locked at the snap point. When the user moves more than the threshold, the object releases from the snap point, returns to its previously defined leashed mode, and follows the user through the XR world as previously.

Activating a snap point in an artificial reality environment

The present embodiments relate to display of glints associated with real-world objects in an environment displayed on an extra reality (XR) device. The glint can include a virtual object associated with a real-world object, such as an indication of a social interaction associated with a real-world object, a content item tagged to an object, etc. The system as described herein can present glints on a display of an XR device based on a distance between the XR device and a location associated with the glint. Responsive to selection of a glint in the environment, additional information can be presented relating to the glint or another action can be taken, such as to open an application. In some instances, a glint can include a series of search results relating to a corresponding real-world object to provide additional information relating to the real-world object.
