“…Many ethical issues relating to AR systems concern the effects they have on users' perceptions of the world [2], [12], [26], [27]. An important scenario to consider is one where the user starts to treat the augmentations as real [13].…”

“…When combined with other advanced technologies, like artificial intelligence and machine learning, Pervasive AR is expected to open up new opportunities for e.g., faster and more accurate in-situ decision making, social interaction and communication, context-sensitive learning and education, and new forms of entertainment [2]- [4]. This potential is not only recognised in research, but also by information technology manufacturers and service providers [5].…”

“…Besides broad media coverage of issues surrounding AR glasses in general, and acceptability and ethical issues in particular, there is a substantial body of academic work on conceptual, perceptual, legal, philosophical, and socio-psychological considerations surrounding (pervasive) AR [7]- [14]. This research covers topics such as privacy, accessibility, virtual property rights, and illusions and beliefs [2]. Some research involves participation by potential end users of AR technology, either in laboratory studies exposing them to application prototypes to test hardware or software designs, or, more recently, to survey user opinions by using imagined AR scenarios.…”

Augmented reality (AR) glasses are likely to become omnipresent, providing a continuous and ubiquitous experience of computer-mediated reality. This new Pervasive AR will lead to perceptual, acceptance, and ethical issues which are increasingly discussed in the literature. However, given such Pervasive AR prototypes are currently not commercially available, little is known about potential end-users' input into this discussion. To address this, we developed a Pervasive AR (PAR) prototype serving as a technology probe and conducted an empirical study in a semi-public space involving 54 participants. We collected data from focus groups, questionnaires, and observations of users and bystanders. Extending concerns with existing technology, like smartphones and augmented reality, PAR exposes privacy and security breaches with its unprompted, all-seeing capability, has a higher potential to cause societal fractures and divisions, and raises new questions on information transparency and trust with significant implications for the design of future PAR systems.

Metaverse-Based Instructional Settings: Matters That Matter

few years ago, such a scenario (see "Mornings in the Metaverse") and most of its elements would have been science fiction. Today, however, similar scenarios are either already possible or soon will be. While scientific and popular literature about VR and metaverses, such as this, is abundant, much of it focuses on enabling technologies. Few works focus on other related and sometimes even more critical nontechnology matters. This article discusses some issues related to metaverse-based instructional settings.
