Where privacy meets Accessibility in XR
Privacy in XR and Spatial Computing is more than just Data protection, the amount of data collected, processed, stored, and ultimately being misused, Regulation.Up to date, digital frameworks were not designed with accessibility as their foundation, but why? Therefore, a post-production movement emerged to make digital systems accessible to all. With immersive technologies, both the hardware and software of XR should be customizable for all users and, specifically, for those with disabilities or special needs. Only then can we hope for an extended reality design and development that is genuinely human-centric and accounts for human limitations, whether temporary or permanent.infusing accessibility into the privacy landscape is not only because it’s the right thing to do, but also because it leads to better, more inclusive digital environments and a culture where everyone feels welcomed.

Founder and CEO of XRSI, Kavya Pearlman, with the mission of Helping build Safe and Inclusive XR ecosystems, has been outlining the potential issues and the need for research in the respective areas. Building these brave new worlds fueled by augmented and virtual reality requires us to proactively address safety, privacy, and ethics in this domain. Without informed consent and lack of awareness around risks that these sophisticated technologies bring along, the industry is walking a thin line between trust and dystopia. This talk will provide the XR stakeholders the concrete actions that are possible to execute today and shed light on what to expect in the coming months and years from the XR landscape
