Artificial reality notification triggers

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a computing system, cause the computing system to perform operations for providing notifications in an artificial reality environment, the operations comprising:

• receiving an indication of a pending notification;
• displaying a minimized version of the pending notification in the artificial reality environment;
• detecting a trigger event comprising one or more of:
• identifying a user gesture, wherein the minimized version of the pending notification is positioned relative to a body part of the user that made the identified user gesture;
• or
• identifying that a user gaze is directed at the minimized version of the pending notification for above a threshold amount of time;
• and
• in response to the trigger event, displaying a maximized version of the pending notification;
• wherein displaying the minimized version of the pending notification, the maximized version of the pending notification, or both comprises:
• identifying a type of the pending notification;
• accessing a mapping of notification types to display properties;
• and
• using one or more display properties mapped, in the mapping, to the identified type of the pending notification to display the minimized version of the pending notification, the maximized version of the pending notification, or both.

A computing system for providing notifications, the system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more memories storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing system to perform operations comprising:
• receiving an indication of a pending notification;
• displaying a minimized version of the pending notification;
• detecting a first trigger event comprising one or more of:
• identifying a user gesture comprising a first rotation of a wrist of the user, wherein the minimized version of the pending notification is positioned relative to an identified portion of the wrist;
• or
• identifying that a user gaze is pointed at the minimized version of the pending notification for above a first threshold amount of time;
• in response to the first trigger event, displaying a maximized version of the pending notification;
• detecting a second trigger event,
• wherein, when the first trigger event comprises identifying the user gesture comprising the first rotation of the wrist, the second trigger event comprises identifying a second rotation of the wrist in a direction opposite from the first rotation of the wrist;
• or
• wherein, when the first trigger event comprises identifying that the user gaze is directed to the pending minimized version of the pending notification for above the first threshold amount of time, the second trigger event comprises identifying that the user gaze is not directed to the maximized version of the pending notification for above a second threshold amount of time;
• and
• in response to the second trigger event, stopping display of the maximized version of the pending notification.
