1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
in response to receiving, on a first communication device worn by a first user, a notification from a second communication device of a second user, displaying an avatar associated with the second user on an augmented reality (AR) lens of the first communication device,
wherein the avatar associated with the second user performs a nonstationary act while displayed on the AR lens of the first communication device;
monitoring the first user for a predetermined gesture;
in response to a determination that the first user performs a first predetermined gesture, performing, by the first communication device, an action associated with the first predetermined gesture,
wherein the action associated with the first predetermined gesture places the avatar associated with the second user in a first grouping indicator with an avatar associated with a third user, the first grouping indicator comprising a ring displayed on an outer edge of the AR lens; and
outputting a response associated with the first predetermined gesture.
