# Quality Considerations for Ethical Design of Virtual and Augmented Reality. ## 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: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
