Abstract
Described herein is a messaging application that executes on a wearable augmented reality device. The messaging application facilitates the anchoring or pinning of a 3-D avatar representing another end-user. An end-user wearing the AR device facilitates messaging with the other end-user via interactions with the 3-D avatar representing the other end-user. As such, the AR device processes various sensor inputs to detect when the end-user wearing the AR device is 'targeting' the 3-D avatar, and enables an audio recording device to record an audible message for communicating to the other end-user.
