Meta adds ‘personal boundaries’ to Horizon Worlds and Territories to address harassment

and a section called Personal Boundary in its context and Horizon Venues specific specific locations to deal with harassment. Everyone they will have a foam about exactly two feet long, so they cannot come about four feet apart from each other.

If someone tries to move to your area, their progress will stop when they get too close. However, Meta said so that the avatars can pass each other, so that users are not locked in a corner or door.

The Personal Boundary feature, which users can not stop, builds on previous Meta measurements that were added to deal with harassment, such as making avatar’s hands disappear when they replaced another person. Soon for anyone 18 years of age or older in the US and Canada in December, a beta tester his avatar was captured by a stranger.

Finally, you can adjust the radius of your personal boundary. Users can still hit some avatars, but they have to stretch their arms to do so.
