# Augmenting Security and Privacy in the Virtual. Realm: An Analysis of Extended Reality Devices ## Overview **Authors:** Derin Cayir, Abbas Acar, Riccardo Lazzeretti, Marco Angelini, Mauro Conti, Selcuk Uluagac **Publication Date:** 1 February 2024 **Link:** **Keywords:** Security, privacy, XR, threats, defense mechanisms, cybersecurity **Type:** Peer-Reviewed Journals/White Papers ## Summary In this study, we conduct a device-focused analysis of security and privacy threats affecting Extended Reality (XR) devices. We examine existing attack methods and defense mechanisms, emphasizing the critical need for robust, privacy-conscious security solutions. Building on our findings, we outline key areas for future research and propose design strategies aimed at enhancing the security and privacy of XR technologies. --- # 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.
