Abstract
Various implementations provide a method for determining how a second user prefers to be depicted/augmented in a first user's view of a multi-user environment in a privacy preserving way. For example, a method may include determining that a physical environment includes a second device, where a second user associated with the second device is to be depicted in a view of a three-dimensional (3D) environment. The method may further include determining position data indicative of a location of the second device relative to the first device. The method may further include sending the position data indicative of the location of the second device relative to the first device, to an information system (e.g., a user preference system). The method may further include receiving a user preference setting associated with the second user for depicting or augmenting the second user in the 3D environment from the information system.
