Meta, the parent company of Facebook, announced Friday that users now have a personal boundary in its virtual reality game Horizon Worlds to prevent users from virtually harassing other users’ avatars. Horizon Worlds is a game on the Oculus that allows users to create their own avatars and worlds.
“Personal Boundary prevents avatars from coming within a set distance of each other, creating more personal space for people and making it easier to avoid unwanted interactions,” Horizon Worlds Vice President Vivek Sharma wrote in a statement. “Personal Boundary will begin rolling out today everywhere inside of Horizon Worlds and Horizon Venues, and will by default make it feel like there is an almost 4-foot distance between your avatar and others.”
