Abstract
Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media are disclosed for variably rendering graphical representations of co-users in VR environments based on social graph information between the co-users and a VR user. For example, the disclosed systems can identify a co-user within a VR environment. Furthermore, the disclosed systems can determine a social relevancy (e.g., a social relationship type) between the co-user and a VR user within the VR environment based on social graph information. Then, the disclosed systems can select and/or determine a graphical representation and/or other capabilities of the co-user within the VR environment based on the social relevancy. Additionally, the disclosed systems can display the co-user within the VR environment using the determined graphical representation type (e.g., from the perspective of the VR user).
