## 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.
