Abstract
Disclosed herein is a mechanism for presenting a limited avatar of a user in a virtual reality environment. The mechanism can receive an indication that a user wants to preview a virtual reality environment. In response to receiving the indication that the user wants to preview the virtual reality environment, the mechanism can cause a first representation of the user to appear in the virtual reality environment, which can indicate a presence of the user without revealing personal information about the user. The mechanism can receive an indication that the user wants to enter the virtual reality environment in a full participation mode. In response to receiving the indication that the user wants to enter the virtual reality environment in a full participation mode, the mechanism can cause a second representation of the user to be presented in the virtual reality environment, which can include an image associated with the user, a name of the user, and/or other identifying information.
