1. A method comprising:
detecting first and second extended reality (XR) applications running concurrently in an extended reality environment;
associating, with the first XR application, a first set of coordinates based on a first position of a user;
associating, with the second XR application, a second set of coordinates that are at a predetermined offset from the first set of coordinates;
receiving an indication that the user has moved from the first position to a second position;
determining whether the second position is within a threshold distance of the second set of coordinates; and
in response to determining that the second position is within the threshold distance of the second set of coordinates, switching active participation from the first XR application to the second XR application.
