Ethics and Privacy in Mixed Reality

Abstract

Spatial computing capabilities introduce new ethical and privacy dilemmas, and as MR technologies emerge into the mainstream, these issues become more pressing. This panel will explore the many implications of biometric and derived data, virtual embodiment, and integration of physical world data. It will also address the many intersections with other technologies such as AI and applications ranging from ethics in education to its use in hiring processes. It is important that we address these now instead of attempting to retrofit solutions later on. This panel will address current privacy problems and anticipate future problems and solutions with experts in the field.
