Original Abstract Submitted
The disclosed technology is directed towards tracking the existence of a user in one or more virtual worlds, that is, in the metaverse, and managing the existence(s) across the worlds, which also may include real world existence. When a user enters a virtual world, a user registers his or her existence in that world. Via preference settings the user can elect to share his or her existence in each virtual world when existing therein, as well as choose to disclose the user's virtual location within the virtual world. Other users can then see the existence and request to join, including at the location if disclosed. A user can use the technology to decide whether to meet up with other users in their respective worlds, including communicating to request joining another user, e.g., at that user's location. Future scheduled existence in a world also can be previewed.
