Abstract

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media configured for managing content placement in extended reality environments are provided. In one implementation, at least one processor associated with the non-transitory computer readable medium may receive a request from an entity to place virtual content at a specific geographic location in at least one shared extended reality environment that includes a plurality of virtual objects, wherein the virtual objects are viewable by a plurality of users. Different content placement rules may define where content may be placed. Based on the obtained information, the processor may determine that the request meets or does not meet the specific content placement rule. The at least one processor may implement the specific content placement rule to prevent content from being displayed when the specific content placement rule is not met and may enable content to be displayed when the specific content placement rule is met.
