CO-PRESENCE HANDLING IN VIRTUAL REALITY

A method for controlling a co-presence virtual environment for a first user and a second user includes: determining a first avatar's restricted space in the co-presence virtual environment, the first avatar correspond to the first user of the co-presence virtual environment; receiving user position data from a first computing device associated with the first user and determining the first avatar's location within the co-presence virtual environment; when the first avatar's location is within the first avatar's restricted space, communicating first co-presence virtual environment modification data to the first computing device; and communicating second co-presence virtual environment modification data to a second computing device associated with the second user.
