Details

eXtended Reality (XR) technologies — encompassing Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), Mixed Reality (MR), Diminished Reality (DR), Modulated Reality (ModR) — are moving towards ubiquity. The mobile phone, for example, is popular for AR applications. Despite the potential benefits XR technologies provide, their ubiquity comes with potential risks, safety, privacy, security, interoperability, and research integrity-related challenges that need to be tackled now. The XR4HUMAN project is set to develop universally accepted, validated, and living guidance instruments, including a code of conduct on XR (CoC4XR) for industry and a rating system for users. Considering the absence of such guidelines in XR research and development, this will be a novel contribution in the fields of research ethics and research integrity. These tools, needs to be informed by ethics and integrity principles, the state of the art on the technologies, policy, and governance considerations, as well as end user considerations and inputs, to contribute towards public trust and inclusivity. In this three-hour workshop XR4HUMAN partners will describe the uses of XR, known safety, privacy, security, interoperability, and research-integrity-related challenges, followed by a structured consultation and involvement with the participants, whose inputs will be collated for integration with further work on the CoC4XR.
