As XR blurs the line between physical and virtual, developers must consider safety and ethics. Minimize physical hazards by guiding users away from obstacles or encouraging them to remain seated in certain VR experiences. Respect user privacy and data protection, as sensors and cameras capture sensitive information about movement and environment.
Ethical questions arise around content, user addiction, and potential emotional manipulation. Establishing industry standards and best practices ensures XR remains a positive force for creativity and learning rather than a source of harm. Thoughtful, transparent development helps maintain trust and fosters a responsible XR ecosystem.
