Virtual Personal Interface for Control and Travel Between Virtual Worlds

A computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a computing system, cause the computing system to perform a process for coordinating content display, for a virtual object in an artificial reality environment, from each of a first application in control of the artificial reality environment, a second application in control of a personal interface, and a controller associated with the virtual object, the process comprising:

• providing the artificial reality environment, including display of the virtual object by the first application;
• providing the personal interface as a virtual element, wherein the first application in control of the artificial reality environment is executed in a first runtime and the personal interface is executed in a second runtime different from the first runtime;
• receiving a selection of the virtual object;
• in response to the selection, accessing, in a data structure for the selected virtual object, a deeplink to the controller,
• wherein the deeplink specifies a destination for accessing the controller, and
• wherein accessing the deeplink includes making a call, to the destination, passing one or more parameters related to the selection;
• receiving, in response the call to the destination, content from the controller for the virtual object;
• and
• providing, on the personal interface in the second runtime and while the virtual object is shown in the first runtime in the artificial reality environment, an indication of the content from the controller for the virtual object.

A computing system for coordinating content display, for a virtual object in an artificial reality environment, from each of a first application in control of the artificial reality environment, a second application in control of a personal interface, and a controller associated with the virtual object, the computing 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 a process comprising:
