Abstract: Implementations can provide a virtual separate space with respect to a virtual venue hosting a virtual reality (VR) experience, such as a concert, a sports game, a meeting, etc., e.g., to replicate the feeling of a side conversation to discuss the VR experience. Some implementations can create a more intimate experience for users viewing a VR experience by providing a quiet, curated space that can be customized, e.g., by changing the look of users' avatars and their virtual environment, without their interactions being observed by others viewing the VR experience at the virtual venue. The virtual separate space can include a moderated version of the VR experience, such as a smaller version of the VR experience with the sounds of the VR experience muffled. Thus, users within the virtual separate space can step away from the VR experience to enter a more controlled environment, while still enjoying the VR experience.
