Panel - Ethics and emerging technology: Ethical concerns from a cognitive, media & technology focused psychology perspective concerning augmented reality, privacy, and sigularity

Abstract

Developing technologies such as augmented reality merges an individual's real life with a digital life that enhances both the visual and the physical experience. Augmented reality creates many ethical concerns in regards to impact on society and human behavior. Blurring the lines between what's real and what's artificial is a significant concern in the future development of augmented reality. This panel examines the ethical considerations from a cognitive and media-focused psychology perspective in developing and deploying mixed and augmented reality (MAR) applications to help improve your understanding of key psychological factors in technological development.
