Keynote Talk: Safeguarding Extended Reality
New technologies inevitably bring along new risks. XR technologies (an umbrella term for AR/VR/MR) are slowly creeping into our daily digital lives. However, not much attention has been paid to the risks it brings along. The industry looks towards the mass adoption of Virtual Reality. With an expected $40 billion market size and over 200 million active users by 2024, new cyberattacks have already begun making headlines. The world is facing the unprecedented challenge of building responsible, safe and inclusive XR and Spatial Computing Information and Communication Technology ecosystems. We need pragmatic policy decisions and governance frameworks to build responsibility, safety, and inclusion for new and emerging fields. With the pandemic catalyzing and fueling the growth and adoption of these technologies, we need to pause and reflect. If we are going to extend realities via the immersive domain of XR, what kind of world will we wish to create?
