Safeguarding Sensations: Harm Prevention in Multisensory Distributed Mixed Reality

Research output: Contribution to book/Conference proceedings/Anthology/ReportConference contributionContributedpeer-review

Abstract

Haptic feedback devices bear great potential in multiuser Mixed Reality experiences, allowing for multisensory virtual experiences and facilitating interpersonal touch in distributed spaces. However, they also present significant ethical and safety concerns. In this paper, we describe three facets of a serious threat: the transmission of unwanted and harmful haptic stimulation, and propose strategies for developers and designers of Mixed Reality applications to reduce this risk.
