Abstract
The present technology pertains to shoulder positioning with body tracking in a multiuser virtual reality (VR) application. In one aspect, a client device that is participating in the multiuser VR application and may be configured to: determine a shoulder position based on a height of a user, wherein the shoulder position is mapped to an avatar in a virtual world; receive sensor data from an arm motion sensor attached to the user, wherein the sensor data identifies motion of an arm of the user; determine a movement vector of the shoulder position of the user using the sensor data; determine a shoulder avatar movement vector for a shoulder of the avatar from the movement vector; and render the avatar with the shoulder positioned based on the shoulder avatar movement vector.
