Claim 11:
12. A system for regulating falls of a user-controlled virtual character through gaps between surfaces in an extended reality (XR) space in which the user is playing a game, the system comprising:
one or more processors; and
logic encoded in one or more non-transitory media for execution by the one or more processors and when executed operable to:
compile a record from a previously generated spatial mapping mesh (SMM) of surfaces of real elements present in the XR space, with corresponding positions and dimensions; and
after the game begins, determine whether, if the virtual character approaches a substantially vertical gap between an edge of a first surface at a first level and a second surface at a second level lower than the first level, continuing motion of the virtual character to fall through the vertical gap will be permitted or prevented.
