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

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.
