Abstract:
The disclosed computer-implemented method may include receiving an indication of a reference elevation representing a plane of a real-world environment and establishing, with respect to the reference elevation, a virtual boundary for a virtual-world environment. The method may include receiving a request from a user to modify the virtual boundary and in response to the request from the user, monitoring an orientation of a direction indicator to generate orientation data. The method may also include modifying the virtual boundary based on the reference elevation and the orientation data. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
