Abstract

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to enhancing virtual reality safety. A virtual reality (VR) boundary associated with a VR system can be determined, the VR boundary dictating a safe play area for a VR user using the VR system. A location of a first device can be determined. A determination can be made that the location of the first device is within the VR boundary. In response to a determination that the first device is within the VR boundary, the VR user can be alerted that the first device entered the VR boundary.
