Security & Safety
Resources investigating privacy, safety, and cybersecurity risks, and their mitigations, across VR, AR, and broader metaverse deployments.
This collection offers a comprehensive overview of the evolving threat landscape in immersive technologies, including VR, AR, and the broader metaverse. It presents practical and regulatory insights, from EU policy analysis to user perceptions of virtual harm, opt-out limitations, and algorithmic bias. Foundational works introduce a security taxonomy and academic threat models, while applied resources translate risks into actionable guidance, like preventing real-world injuries and securing biometric data. Special attention is given to child safety, industrial training use cases, and historical benchmarks set by XRSI. Discussions also cover the implications of AI in XR environments, calling for urgent standards around biometric consent, adversarial scenes, and multi-user interactions. Together, these resources empower stakeholders to identify vulnerabilities, implement safeguards, and support responsible immersive design.
