PrXR: Towards a roadmap for privacy and security research for mixed reality applications

IEEE VR 2021 Workshop

Overview

Date: March 28, 2021, 1-4PM GMT+1

This workshop brings together researchers and practitioners in the mixed reality and privacy and security communities to brainstorm threats, threat vectors and consequent opportunities for privacy and security research in the VR/AR/MR community. We will invite speakers from both communities to seed the discussion with their perspectives. The goal of this workshop will be to create a research vision to inspire the community and to catalyze the exploration of a new scientific frontier. The three-hour workshop will be held online, with a combination of invited talks, moderated discussion, and breakout sessions. Workshop organizers call for the submission of position papers on the following topics:

Privacy and security risks created by large scale personal use and enterprise use of XR devices
New perspectives on previously published research on the topics of security, privacy, AR/VR/XR, large-scale behavioral data collection.
Methods, methodologies, theoretical constructs that could apply to hardware/software/architecture/user-centered privacy and security problems in XR
Lessons learned from other contexts and how they might apply to XR
Novel opportunities created in the context of XR that are different from other contexts
