Abstract: Input indicative of a selection of volumetric content for presentation is received. The volumetric content comprises a volumetric representation of one or more elements of a real-world three-dimensional space. In response to the input, device state data associated with the volumetric content is accessed. The device state data describes a state of one or more network-connected devices associated with the real-world three-dimensional space. The volumetric content is presented. The presentation of the volumetric content includes presentation of the volumetric representation of the one or more elements overlaid on the real-world three-dimensional space by a display device and configuring the one or more network-connected devices using the device state data.

Abstract: Eyewear including a projector having a variable feedback loop controlling a forward current delivered to a colored light source. The colored light source is configured to generate a colored light beam to generate a displayed image. The variable feedback loop in one example has a variable resistance to selectively generate a high brightness image when the eyewear is operated outside, or in a high ambient light setting, and to selectively generate a nominal brightness image when the eyewear is operated inside. A controller selectively controls the drive current delivered to the colored light source to control the brightness mode of the image.

Abstract: Various embodiments provide systems, methods, devices, and instructions for performing simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) that involve initializing a SLAM process using images from as few as two different poses of a camera within a physical environment. Some embodiments may achieve this by disregarding errors in matching corresponding features depicted in image frames captured by an image sensor of a mobile computing device, and by updating the SLAM process in a way that causes the minimization process to converge to global minima rather than fall into a local minimum.

Abstract: A location-based shared augmented reality (AR) experience system is configured to permit users that find themselves in the same geographic area to easily join in a shared AR experience by creating respective instances of the shared AR experience for different previously defined geographic areas. When a user indicates a request to launch a shared AR experience accessible via a messaging client, the location-based shared AR experience system obtains or receives from the user device executing the messaging client location information of the user device, determines a previously-defined AR experience area that encompasses the location of the user device, and communicates to the user device an address of an associated instance of the shared AR experience.

Abstract: Content sharing between a first user, a second user, and a third user is facilitated. A first public content collection includes a first input content item of a first user. Responsive to receiving an indication of a combination user input from a second user, a combination function is invoked to allow the second user to combine the first user input content item with a second user input content item to create a first combined user input content item. The first combined user input content item is stored in association with the first user input content item in a second public content collection. A third user sends a combination collection presentation user input related to the first user input content item. In response, a combination collection presentation function is invoked to enable the third user to navigate the second public content collection.

Abstract: Method of generating invitation media overlays for private collections starts with processor receiving first media content item from first client device associated with first user. Processor receives from first client device a selection of invitation media overlay to be applied to media content item. Invitation media overlay is associated with private collection of media content items. Processor generates modified first media content item by overlaying invitation media overlay on first media content item. Processor generates the private collection of media content items including modified first media content item. Processor receives from first client device selection of second user associated with the second user and causes modified first media content item to be displayed by the second client device. Processor receives selection of invitation media overlay from second client device and causes the private collection of media content items to be displayed by second client device. Other embodiments are described herein.

Abstract: Method for generating haptic feedback responses starts with processor causing communication interface for communication session to be displayed on first user interface and on a second user interface. Processor detects first touch input on first user interface and second touch input on second user interface. Processor monitors location of the first touch input on the first user interface and location of the second touch input on the second user interface. Processor determines distance between location of first touch input on first user interface and location on first user interface corresponding to location of second touch input on second user interface. Processor causes the first user interface and the second user interface to generate a haptic feedback response based on the distance. The haptic feedback response increases in intensity or speed as the distance decreases and decreases in intensity or speed as the distance increases. Other embodiments are described herein.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for generating voice notes. In one embodiment, a messaging application implemented on a first participant computing device, receives a request to send a voice message to a second participant computing device in a communication session. In response to receiving the request, the messaging application selects a voice modification effect. The messaging application receives input to begin recording the voice message. While the voice message is being recorded, the messaging application receives speech input, modifies the speech input based on the voice modification effect in real time, and continuously updates an audio file with the modified speech input. In response to receiving input to terminate recording the voice message, the messaging application provides a first option to playback the audio file and a second option to send the audio file as the voice message to the second participant computing device.
