## Summary

The ethical questions surrounding privacy in virtual and augmented reality (XR) are among the most pressing and unresolved issues in the field. Two key concerns dominate: What new intimate biometric and physiological data can XR capture, and how is this data being used? These issues are central to all eight white papers from the IEEE's Global Initiative on the Ethics of Extended Reality.
