Patent attributes
Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to a mini-map coordination system that can facilitate interactions between co-located and non-co-located users by providing a min-map through an artificial reality system. The mini-map can be a representation of a virtual space that corresponds to a real-world space in which some users are located and that other users join virtually. Users can join the space by entering the real-world space or by remotely logging into the virtual space. Users who have joined the virtual space can be represented in the mini-map by avatars. Users moving their avatars around the mini-map can trigger interactions, such as automatically initiating a holographic call between the users whose avatars come within a threshold distance of each other. The system can allow remote users to observe social norms such as requiring a user to “knock” before their avatar is allowed to enter a private space.
