dynamically enabling, at the augmented reality device, a privacy view based upon the privacy settings for the another user, wherein the dynamically enabling comprises accounting for the at least one characteristic of the user and determining a level of the privacy view based upon the at least one characteristic of the user, wherein the level of the privacy view becomes more intense as the user gets closer to the another user;
wherein the detecting comprises detecting the augmented reality device is removed from a position of wear while the user is in proximity to the another user and notifying the another user of the augmented reality device being removed by the user while present in the environment.
