Our paper, “The Legal Challenges of Cooperative Real-Time Extended Reality: Insights from the EU”, was presented at the 9th International XR- Metaverse Conference in May 2024.
Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic caused an unprecedented shift towards remote work, with over 97% of workers expressing a desire to continue working remotely. This has led to the exploration of technologies like extended reality (XR) to facilitate remote operations. However, XR presents ethical, legal, and social challenges, especially when combined with artificial intelligence (AI) or applied in new domains. Drawbacks of XR include technostress, exclusion, manipulation, and surveillance. This article examines the regulatory complexities of using XR for remote work, focusing on the safety and reliability of XR at both design and application levels. It integrates technological, legal, and ethical perspectives, exploring countermeasures for responsible XR development and deployment in the EU.
