Abstract
The present embodiments relate to generating 3D objects in an artificial reality environment and collapsing 3D objects into 2D images representing the 3D objects. Users operating extra reality (XR) devices controlling the artificial reality environment can collaboratively create or modify content in the artificial reality environment, using real-world creation objects (such as a hand of the user or a pen held by the user) to create 3D objects. In response to a user triggering a collapse for a 3D object, a 2D image of the 3D object can created, from the user's perspective. The 2D image can replace the 3D object in the artificial reality environment. Presenting the 2D image can reduce the amount of data, processing resources, and power needed to provide the artificial reality environment while also reducing clutter and cognitive load on the user.
