Abstract
In general, this disclosure describes a suspend mode feature for artificial reality systems and, more specifically, system configurations and techniques for generating a suspend mode environment during execution of an artificial reality application, and presenting and controlling user interface (UI) elements within the suspend mode environment. The suspend mode feature enables a user interacting with one or more other users (or one or more avatars corresponding to the one or more other users) within an artificial reality (AR) environment to suspend the AR environment from the user's perspective. While in the suspend mode environment, the user is able to view and select the other users from the AR environment. For example, the user may select another user to friend, message, mute, block, or report that user from the suspend mode environment.
