Original Abstract Submitted

aspects of the present disclosure can allow users to participate in artificial reality (xr) coworking spaces on two-dimensional (2d) interfaces, such as computers, mobile devices, etc. users can join a “quiet” virtual coworking space in which they can see representations of other users within the space (including xr users), but without sound. from the virtual coworking space, a user can request to start a conversation with another user, which can send a non-audible notification to the other user, thus being less intrusive to the other user. the other user can join the conversation at their convenience, and be transported to a virtual conference room with the requesting user to engage in audio and/or video discussion. other users within the virtual coworking space can see the attendees within the virtual conference room, and join the virtual conference room by being invited, or simply clicking to join, without permission needed.
