Posture-based virtual space configurations

1. A method for customizing a virtual space based on user posture, the method comprising:

determining that a user posture corresponds to a seated mode;

in response to the determining that the user posture corresponds to the seated mode,

setting a seated customization for the virtual space by:

receiving a boundary mode selection, for the virtual space, corresponding to the seated mode;

detecting a boundary display event; and

displaying, based on the selected boundary mode corresponding to the seated mode, an indication of a boundary area configured based on the selected boundary mode corresponding to the seated mode, wherein the boundary area specifies a physical region in which the user is permitted to move.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the boundary mode selection is based on a mapping, provided by a current application, of postures to boundary modes.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the selected boundary mode is a passthrough mode that causes the displaying to include displaying images of the real-world in the virtual space.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein detecting the boundary display event comprises applying a machine learning model trained to: A) receive one or more of inertia data, position data, camera image data, a model of a user's bone structure, or any combination thereof, and B) produce a projection of whether the user will intersect with an outer edge of the boundary area.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the displaying includes showing a virtual wall, based on at least part of the boundary area, with a pattern and/or color mapped to the seated mode.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the displaying to include displaying images of real-world objects, in the virtual space, that are within the physical region.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the displaying includes showing a virtual wall based on at least part of the boundary area.

8. A computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a computing system, cause the computing system to perform a process for customizing a virtual space based on user posture, the process comprising:

determining that a first user posture corresponds to a seated mode;

in response to the determining that the first user posture corresponds to the seated mode, setting a seated customization for the virtual space by:

while a virtual experience configured for seated mode is in progress:

determining a second user posture corresponds to no-longer being in the seated mode; and

in response to the determining the second user posture corresponds to no-longer being in the seated mode, triggering a response action for the virtual experience including one or more of:

automatically stopping or pausing the virtual experience;

providing a notification to resume a pervious posture or that the current posture is not recommended for the virtual experience;

logging times at which various postures are held;

switching to a display mode that shows real-world objects;

changing input modalities; or

any combination thereof.

9. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the response action includes the automatically stopping or pausing the virtual experience.

10. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the response action includes the providing the notification to resume the pervious posture or that the current posture is not recommended for the virtual experience.

11. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the response action includes the logging times at which various postures are held.

12. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the response action includes the switching to the display mode that shows real-world objects.

13. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the response action includes the changing input modalities.

14. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the response action is selected based on a mapping, provided by a current application, that maps trigger actions to particular posture changes.

15. A computing system for customizing a virtual space based on user posture, the computing system comprising:

one or more processors; and

one or more memories storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing system to perform a process comprising:

determining that a first user posture corresponds to a seated mode;

in response to the determining that the first user posture corresponds to the seated mode, setting a seated customization for the virtual space by:

determining a second user posture corresponds to leaning forward;

determining a workspace area; and

in response to the determining the second user posture corresponds to leaning forward, enabling a display mode that displays, in a virtual environment, real-world objects that are in the workspace area.

16. The computing system of claim 15 , wherein the workspace area is determined based on an area defined based on a determined arm-span of a user.

17. The computing system of claim 15 , wherein the workspace area is determined based on an average of workspace areas previously manually set by other users.

18. The computing system of claim 15 , wherein the workspace area is determined based on an area corresponding to a top of a flat real-world object in in front of the user.

19. The computing system of claim 15 , wherein the workspace area is determined based on an area determined to be enclosing one or more specified real-world tools.

20. The computing system of claim 15 , wherein the determining that the first user posture corresponds to the seated mode is based on a determined height of a headset of the computing system and inertial motion data.
