Goal
If someone tries to move into your personal space, forward movement will stop when they get too close. However, Meta said that avatars will still be able to pass through each other, so users don’t get stuck in a corner or doorway.
The Personal Boundary feature, which users won’t be able to turn off, builds on previous measures Meta has added to combat harassment, such as making an avatar’s hands disappear when they enter someone else’s personal space. Just before, for everyone aged 18 and over in the US and Canada in December, a beta tester your avatar has been groped by a stranger.
Eventually, you will be able to change the radius of your Personal Limit. Users can still greet other avatars, but they need to extend their arms to do so.
