Posture-based virtual space configurations

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 user posture corresponds to a seated mode;
• in response to the determining, setting a seated customization for the virtual space by:
• providing a first seated customization including:
• obtaining metrics for a floor height;
• and
• adjusting a system floor height based on the metrics for the floor height, wherein the system floor height sets a minimum height at which virtual objects can be placed;
• providing a second seated customization including:
• setting a seated flag;
• and
• surfacing the seated flag to a first application, wherein the first application makes a first operation mechanics adjustment based on the seated flag;
• and
• surfacing the seated flag to a second application, wherein the second application makes a second operation mechanics adjustment, different from the first operation mechanic adjustment, based on the seated flag;
• providing a third seated customization including:
• receiving a boundary mode selection for the virtual space;
• detecting a boundary display event;
• and
• displaying, based on the selected boundary mode, a boundary configured based on the selected boundary mode, wherein the boundary is a virtual barrier that specifies a physical region in which the user is permitted to move;
• or
• any combination thereof.

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