1. A method comprising:
- analyzing, by a hardware processor, a behavior of a user in a virtual world based at least on control of an avatar in the virtual world to determine a behavioral category for the user, wherein the analyzing includes determining a degree of similarity between the user in a real life and the avatar in the virtual world, wherein analyzing the behavior of the user further comprises;
determining a number of identities the user presents in the virtual world;
determining a degree to which the avatar'"'"'s identity visually resembles the user'"'"'s identity; and
determining a degree to which the avatar appears to be photorealistic;
customizing, by the hardware processor, a user-interface of the virtual world based at least on the determined behavioral category, wherein the user-interface is customized by configuring image-capture-or-sharing tools, avatar-appearance-editing tools, or both in the user-interface; and
storing, by the hardware processor, information based at least on the customized user-interface.

Abstract
A particular user'"'"'s user-interface to a virtual world is customized based at least upon an analysis of behavioral characteristics of the user, the behavioral characteristics indicating how the user controls an avatar in the virtual world. In this regard, image-capture-or-sharing tools, avatar-appearance-editing tools, or both may be configured in the user-interface based at least upon the analysis of the behavioral characteristics. Information pertaining to results of the configuring of the user-interface may be stored in a processor-accessible memory system.

15. A system comprising:
-
a memory; and a hardware processor coupled to the memory, wherein the hardware processor is configured to; analyze a behavior of a user in a virtual world based at least on how the user controls an avatar in the virtual world to determine a behavioral category for the user, wherein the analyzing includes determining a degree of similarity between the user in a real life and the avatar in the virtual world, wherein analyzing the behavior of the user further comprises; determining a number of identities the user presents in the virtual world; determining a degree to which the avatar'"'"'s identity visually resembles the user'"'"'s identity; and determining a degree to which the avatar appears to be photorealistic; customize a user-interface of the virtual world based at least on the determined behavioral category, wherein the user-interface is customized by configuring image-capture-or-sharing tools, avatar-appearance-editing tools, or both in the user-interface; and store information based at least on the customized user-interface. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)

18. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:
-
analyzing a behavior of a user in a virtual world based at least on how the user controls an avatar in the virtual world to determine a behavioral category for the user, wherein the analyzing includes determining a degree of similarity between the user in a real life and the avatar in the virtual world, wherein analyzing the behavior of the user further comprises; determining a number of identities the user presents in the virtual world; determining a degree to which the avatar'"'"'s identity visually resembles the user'"'"'s identity; and determining a degree to which the avatar appears to be photorealistic; customizing a user-interface of the virtual world based at least on the determined behavioral characteristics, wherein the user-interface is customized by configuring image-capture-or-sharing tools, avatar-appearance-editing tools, or both in the user-interface; and storing information based at least on the customized user-interface.
