Abstract: A computer-implemented method is provided. The method includes generating an augmented reality environment, determining a number of virtual avatars requiring an avatar space within said augmented reality environment, determining a number of physical avatar spaces that are available for occupation within the augmented reality environment, comparing the number of virtual avatars requiring an avatar space to the number of available physical avatar spaces and, when the number of virtual avatars requiring an avatar space within the augmented reality environment is less than or equal to the number of available physical avatar spaces, assigning a different available physical avatar space to each virtual avatar.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, comprising obtaining at least one visual setting and/or at least one aural setting of an extended reality environment, obtaining a visual parameter and/or an aural parameter of a virtual avatar, wherein the virtual avatar is within the extended reality environment or has requested entry to the extended reality environment, comparing the visual parameter of the virtual avatar to the at least one visual setting of the extended reality environment, and/or comparing the aural parameter of the virtual avatar to the at least one aural setting of the extended reality environment, and based on the comparison, adjusting the visual parameter and/or the aural parameter of the virtual avatar. The virtual avatar may be adjusted within a user-specified range of permitted values for the parameter.
