Abstract

A new visualization user experience is expected to be empowered with XR technologies. XR accommodates a wide range of computerized reality technology, such as AR (Augmented Reality), MR (Mixed Reality), and VR (Virtual Reality). XR is providing more immerse and entertaining user experience. The number of devices increases and it is leveraging a wide range of applications. As consumer XR applications start to grow, it is important to understand the privacy threats. The author describes privacy threats in XR. First, the author discusses privacy threat elements. Second, the author describes a 3-dimensional model of privacy threats in XR. It clarifies the XR-specific privacy threats in addition to other sensor API-enabled applications.
