Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to spawning digital human representations (DHRs) for use in various types of augmented calls in an artificial reality (XR) environment. A DHR can include a two-dimensional (2D) image of a user, a video of the user, or an avatar of the user. A first call type can include a compact mode call used in situations requiring multitasking, such that a caller can interact with an XR environment while attending to tasks in the real-world. A second call type can include a spatial mode call that can fully immerse a caller within an XR environment. The XR environment can be a multitasking environment in which a user can interact with multiple XR experiences, virtual objects, and DHR(s) of other user(s). Spatial mode calling can provide more natural face-to-face interaction between callers.
