Techniques for facilitating privacy and protection in metaverses

Abstract

The embodiments described herein relate to systems and methods for managing or providing privacy in metaverses and/or to providing protection of a user within metaverses. In certain embodiments, a metaverse user privacy system may be used to prevent or discourage user data or private information from being compromised. Such limitations or prohibitions may be applied or enforced based on various factors, such as privacy or security settings specified by a user. In further aspects, the presently described techniques may facilitate protecting a user from known or suspected 'bad' actors or from entering portions of the metaverse presenting risks to the user. Similarly, in further aspects the presently described techniques may be implemented as configurable parental controls, allowing a parent or guardian to configure or specify the types on interactions and risks a child may be exposed to in metaverses.
