Abstract
If an overlap of two or more extended reality (XR) safe play areas, associated with active XR devices (e.g., VR devices) operating in a physical space is detected, then a combined safe area is determined based on the first and second safe areas, and a reconfigured first and second safe areas are generated for the XR devices. A virtual partition may demarcate the separation between the first and second safe areas. The virtual partition may include a buffer zone that separates the reconfigured first safe area from the reconfigured second safe area. An errant XR device may be guided back to its safe area. If a XR device is deactivated, the entire combined area may be allotted to the remaining XR device.
