Systems and methods are provided for facilitating an interactive artificial-reality activity. A method includes, after a user of a head-wearable device has opted-in to using an artificial-reality application to facilitate connecting with other participating users, determining, based on user-specific suggestion criteria, that a suggested user is located in an approved common space with the user and has opted-in to use the artificial-reality application. The method includes causing the head-wearable device to present an user interface (UI) element for linking the suggested user and the user. Upon the user selecting the UI element for linking the suggested user with the user, the method includes automatically causing the head-wearable device to provide visual-guidance UI elements to navigate the user to an interactive-activity location where the user and the suggested user will perform an artificial-reality activity while also displaying information about the artificial-reality activity to be performed.

Methods for participating in an artificial-reality application that coordinates artificial-reality activities between a user and at least one suggested user

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.
