In one embodiment, a method includes sending information configured to render a virtual space on a display device associated with a first user, wherein the virtual space provides a virtual experience to the first user; receiving a pause input from the first user to enter a pause mode; and causing the first user to enter the pause mode, wherein the virtual experience within the virtual space is paused for the first user.

Controls and interfaces for user interactions in virtual spaces

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media configured to provide images having associated narratives for presentation to a user. A selection by the user of a first image having an associated narrative from the images having associated narratives is received. The narrative associated with the first image is provided for presentation to the user in response to receipt of the selection of the first image.

Systems and methods for providing narratives associated with images

In one embodiment, a method includes sending information configured to render a virtual space on a display device associated with a first user, the virtual space comprising a virtual room; receiving an input from a first user selecting a particular virtual object; calculating a score for a set of interactive-surface types, the score being based on a current context, wherein the current context is based on information associated with the virtual object; selecting, from the set of interactive-surface types, one of the interactive-surface types based on the selected interactive-surface type having a score greater than a threshold score; and sending information configured to render an interactive surface that is of the selected interactive-surface type.

In one embodiment, a method includes sending information configured to render a virtual space on a display device; receiving a first input from a first controller device, wherein the first controller device is associated with a first location on a body of a user; sending information configured to render a user interface comprising a menu of items, the menu of items comprising one or more interactive elements; receiving a second input from a second controller device, wherein the second controller device is associated with a second location on the body of the user, and wherein the second input indicates a selection of a particular interactive element; and sending information configured to render a response to the selection of the particular interactive element on a display device associated with the user.

In one embodiment, a method includes receiving first visual information associated with at least a portion of a 360-degree perspective; determining that the first visual information is not sufficient to render a complete 360-degree perspective on a display device associated with a first user; receiving second visual information, wherein the second visual information comprises information configured to render a display of one or more videos from one or more second users; and sending rendering information, wherein the rendering information comprises information configured to render a unified 360-degree perspective on the display device, wherein: a first portion of the unified 360-degree perspective is based on the first visual information, and a second portion of the unified 360-degree perspective is based on the second visual information.

A plurality of media content items associated with a user and stored locally can be identified. Information associated with the plurality can be acquired. The information can include time data, location data, and/or social graph data. It can be determined, based on the information, that a collection of media content items, out of the plurality, are related. A layout customized for the collection can be generated. Moreover, the collection of media content items that are determined to be related can be identified. The collection can be presented as a collage based on the layout customized for the collection. Contextual information associated with the collage can be acquired. The contextual information can include time data, location data, and/or social graph data. A particular virtual overlaying template can be selected based on the contextual information. The collage can be presented in conjunction with the particular virtual overlaying template.

In one embodiment, a method includes receiving first visual information associated with at least a portion of a 360-degree perspective; determining that the first visual information is not sufficient to render a complete 360-degree perspective on a display device associated with the first user; retrieving second visual information; and sending information configured to render a unified 360-degree perspective on the display device, wherein: a first portion of the unified 360-degree perspective is based on the first visual information, and a second portion of the unified 360-degree perspective is based on the second visual information.

An online system receives from a third-party application on a client device, an anonymous login request to anonymously log a user of the online system into a third-party system associated with the third-party application. Responsive to receiving the anonymous login request, the online system generates a permissions user interface (UI) that provides an interface component including an option for the user to anonymously log into the third-party system using the user's login information for the online system. The online system provides the permissions UI to the client device, and receives permissions information from the client device. The online system generates an anonymous identifier that allows the user to login to the third-party system. The online system provides the anonymous identifier to the third-party application to allow anonymous login of the user into the third-party system in accordance with the permissions information.
