Abstract:
An apparatus configured, based on a first virtual space in which visual imagery is presented to a first user and a second, different, virtual space in which visual imagery is presented to a second user, the first and second virtual spaces based on respective virtual reality content that comprises visual imagery and wherein a representation of the first user, viewable by the second user, is provided in the second virtual space and based on a communication initiation input from the second user; to provide for communication and presentation in the second virtual space, at a virtual location based on a location of the second representation of the first user, of a context-volume comprising a sub-volume of the first virtual space at least partly surrounding the first user to enable the second user to seethe first virtual space currently experienced by the first user.
