Though the dynamics of information sharing have been explored in offline settings, their application in cyber-physical spaces, such as the Metaverse, necessitates a significant reassessment. Specifically, there is a pressing need to understand the influence of third-party bystanders in these environments on users' behaviors. To investigate this, Roman Rietsche conducted a controlled laboratory experiment where both the presence of bystanders and the level of technological immersion were systematically varied. He discovered that bystanders tend to decrease the amount of information shared by users in the Metaverse; however, this effect is only observed when the technology facilitating access is less immersive. These results have significant implications for both the emerging body of research on immersive platforms and for practitioners in the field.
