Abstract

Systems and methods of shareable virtual objects and virtual objects as message objects to facilitate communications sessions in an augmented reality environment are disclosed. In one aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure include a method, which may be implemented on a system, to facilitate sharing of an object in an augmented reality environment of a real world environment. The method can further include world-locking the object or user-locking the object in accordance with a request of the object to be posted in the augmented reality environment for a given user. In world-locking the object, the object is enabled to be interacted with by the given user if and when the given user is at or in the vicinity of the given location. In user-locking the object, the object is enabled to be interacted with by the given user regardless of where the given user is physically located in the real world environment.
