Systems and methods for displaying stereoscopic rendered image data captured from multiple perspectives

One or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media embodying software that is operable when executed by a first computing system associated with an artificial-reality device to:

• receive, through a network, video data of a user of a second computing system, the video data comprising a first captured image of the user and a second captured image of the user of the second computing system, wherein the first captured image and the second captured image are captured concurrently by a first camera and a second camera of the second computing system, respectively;
• generate a two-dimensional planar proxy of the user of the second computing system for displaying the user of the second computing system, wherein the two-dimensional planar proxy of the user of the second computing system is generated without a three-dimensional model of the user of the second computing system;
• determine a pose comprising a location and orientation of the two-dimensional planar proxy within a three-dimensional virtual environment, wherein the pose of the two-dimensional planar proxy is (1) a fixed pose in the three-dimensional virtual environment independent from a pose of the artificial-reality device in the three-dimensional virtual environment, or (2) a relative pose such that a spatial relationship between the artificial-reality device and the two-dimensional planar proxy remains fixed as the artificial-reality device moves in the three-dimensional virtual environment;
• render a left display image for a left-eye display of the artificial-reality device based on the two-dimensional planar proxy having the determined pose and the first captured image;
• render a right display image for a right-eye display of the artificial-reality device based on the two-dimensional planar proxy having the determined pose and the second captured image;
• display the rendered left display image and the right display image using the left-eye display and right-eye display, respectively;
• determine a viewing angle of the artificial-reality device relative to the two-dimensional planar proxy;
• determine the viewing angle exceeds a predetermined maximum threshold;
• and
• based on the determination that the viewing angle of the artificial-reality device exceeds the predetermined maximum threshold, terminate the display of the left-display image on the left-eye display and the right-display image on the right-eye display.

A first computing system associated with an artificial-reality device comprising:
