Privacy in Virtual Worlds

AR and VR raise privacy concerns that go far beyond ordinary screens. VR headsets track your eyes, revealing not just what you look at but how long you linger and what grabs your attention.

That biometric data is extraordinarily intimate. Eye movement can hint at your mood, your interests, even some medical conditions. Paired with body tracking, it builds a behavioral profile more detailed than anything social media captures.

AR glasses in public add a second worry: bystanders who never agreed to being recorded.
