Experiences enabled by virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR) can alter an individual's senses, physiological responses, and perception of self. ## Overview **Authors:** Radziwill, Nicole **Publication Date:** 2019 **Link:** **Keywords:** Ethical Design, Mindful Technology, Safety in XR, Conscious Reality, Industry Best Practices, Digital Integrity, Ethical Engineering, Human-Centered XR, Decision-Making Tools, XR Responsibility. **Type:** Peer-Reviewed Journals/White Papers ## Summary Experiences enabled by virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR) can alter an individual's senses, physiological responses, and perception of self. Collectively referred to as XR, quality depends on safety in addition to other quality attributes. To help software developers and experience designers protect individuals, organizations, and society, this exploratory study introduces the conscious reality (CoRe) questions: a tool to help engineers, entrepreneurs, and visionaries create ethical and mindful content. CoRe was developed using a convergent parallel mixed methods approach that evaluated responses to the ethics position questionnaire provided by a core group of industry experts working to promote ethical XR. The result is a prototype checklist for ethical decision-making that will enhance the quality and integrity of XR applications. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://library.xrguild.org/ethical-responsibility/quality-considerations-for-ethical-design-of-virtual-and-augmented-reality..md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
