Cross-Reality Safety Service

Abstract

Concepts and technologies are disclosed herein for a cross-reality safety service. A device can detect a cross-reality session associated with a user device. The cross-reality session can include a rendered environment and the user device can be located in a physical environment. Data associated with the cross-reality session can be obtained. It can be determined if a safety issue exists for the cross-reality session. If the safety issue is determined to exist for the cross-reality session, a communication can be directed to the user device, where the communication can include an update to the rendered environment, a command to end the cross-reality session, or an alert.
