Abstract

Systems, methods, and apparatuses are directed to facilitating avatar representation of users within proximity using approved avatars. In one embodiment, logic may be configured to determine communication devices that are within a proximity threshold. The determined communication devices may include first and second communication devices that are associated with first and second users, respectively. The first user may be associated with a first avatar and the second user may be associated with a second avatar. The logic may also be configured to determine a request initiated at the first communication device for avatar information associated with one or more users of the determined communication devices. The logic may further be configured to provide the second avatar to the first user via the first communication device based on determining that the second avatar is included in an approved avatar set.
