1. An apparatus to map user-to-avatar action, the apparatus comprising:
machine readable instructions; and
at least one processor circuit to be programmed by the machine readable instructions to:
determine if a user action is intentional or unintentional;
prevent mapping of the user action to an avatar model based on a determination that the user action is unintentional;
identify a dissonance between a first orientation of a user and a second orientation of an avatar by:
comparing a first set of coordinates to a second set of coordinates, the first set of coordinates based on the first orientation of the user relative to content of interest and the second set of coordinates based on the second orientation of the avatar; and
identifying an inconsistency between the first set of coordinates and the second set of coordinates;
identify, based on the dissonance, a difference between the first set of coordinates and a third set of coordinates, the third set of coordinates based on the first orientation of the user relative to a camera;
determine an avatar adjustment value based on the difference; and
apply the avatar adjustment value to the avatar model.
