1. A method for interacting with a pinned interactive avatar, pinned as world-locked artificial reality content, the method comprising:
receiving, at an XR device, the pinned interactive avatar in response to A) an identification that the XR device is within a first threshold distance of a location at which the pinned interactive avatar was pinned or B) an indication from the XR device specifying an interaction for a location within a second threshold distance of the location at which the pinned interactive avatar was pinned,
wherein the pinned interactive avatar is associated with one or more reactions that each include one or more triggers, with each trigger corresponding to one or more actions, wherein the one or more reactions control, at least in part, how the pinned interactive avatar acts, when viewed via the XR device;
displaying, via the XR device, a version of the pinned interactive avatar;
obtaining a context of the XR device; and
matching the context with aspects of the one or more triggers to identify one or more activated triggers and, in response to identifying the one or more activated triggers, causing the version of the pinned interactive avatar to perform the one or more actions corresponding to each one of the one or more activated triggers.
