1. A computing device comprising:
a network interface;
at least one processor;
a non-transitory computer-readable medium; and
program instructions stored on the non-transitory computer-readable medium that are executable by the at least one processor such that the computing device is configured to:
detect, via one or more sensors of the computing device, an object;
determine information associated with the detected object;
cause the computing device to present a view of a given type of visual conversation application that enables a user to interact with a digital conversational character in an interactive conversational session;
determine a given interaction mode from a plurality of interaction modes for the interactive conversational session between the user and the digital conversational character, wherein the plurality of interaction modes comprises a personal mode and a non-personal mode; and
facilitate the interactive conversational session between the user and the digital conversational character based on the determined information associated with the detected object and the determined interaction mode.
