“…The work in [6], for example, addresses how XR could acquire biometric data and physical motions. [82] also agrees that XR collects a diverse set of data. Since the sensing devices in these applications could track the user, which could be used to easily identify patterns of user behaviours, and the activity the user is doing.…”

“…It shows that the XR/digital twin suffers from biometric data and physical movements. In addition, [82] indicates that in XR, a variety of data types can be collected. This could include real scene information, biometric data such as gait, eye or head movements, body appearance, domicile information, heart rate, inferred emotional states, and potentially many more.…”

“…This could include real scene information, biometric data such as gait, eye or head movements, body appearance, domicile information, heart rate, inferred emotional states, and potentially many more. Also, [82] shows that domicile data, for instance, may include a record of household objects to build a psychological profile about individuals. Tactile interaction is also vulnerable to exposing biometric data as discussed in [6].…”

Massive progress of mobile wireless telecommunication networks was achieved in the previous decades, with privacy enhancement in each. At present, mobile users are getting familiar with the latest 5G networks, and the discussion for the next generation of Beyond 5G (B5G)/6G networks has already been initiated. It is expected that B5G/6G will push the existing network capabilities to the next level, with higher speeds, enhanced reliability, and seamless connectivity. To make these expectations a reality, research is progressing on new technologies, architectures, and intelligence-based decision-making processes related to B5G/6G. Privacy considerations are a crucial aspect that needs further attention in such developments, as billions of people and devices will be transmitting their data through the upcoming network. This paper provides a comprehensive survey on privacy-related aspects for B5G/6G networks. First, it discusses a taxonomy of different privacy perspectives. Based on the taxonomy, the paper then conceptualizes a set of privacy goals for the B5G/6G and the challenges that appear as barriers to reaching these goals. Next, this work provides a set of solutions applicable to the proposed architecture of B5G/6G networks to mitigate the challenges. Additionally, this paper discusses the emerging field of non-personal data privacy. It also provides an overview of standardization initiatives for privacy preservation. Finally, it concludes with a roadmap of future directions and upcoming trends containing privacy-related topics, which will be an arena for new research towards privacy-enhanced B5G/6G networks. This work provides a basis for privacy aspects that will significantly impact peoples' daily lives with future networks.

“…To truly create a secure and private future for XR as a community both academia and industry must collaborate to establish standards for topics such as XR security, privacy, and behavioural data collection. Currently there is work on creating standards for security and privacy within XR [21,27,35] but such standards should also have the capacity to address emergent risks such as around behaviour manipulation. Such standards would provide guidance to developers by providing a framework to securely build applications that protect users by default [6].…”

Extended-Reality (XR) devices are packed with sensors that allow tracking of users (e.g., behaviour, actions, eye-gaze) and their surroundings (e.g., people, places, objects). As a consequence, XR devices pose significant risks to privacy, security, and our ability to understand and influence the behaviour of users -risks that will be amplified by ever-increasing adoption. This necessitates addressing these concerns before XR becomes ubiquitous. We conducted three focus groups with thirteen XR experts from industry and academia interested in XR, security, and privacy, to investigate current and emerging issues relating to security, privacy, and influencing behaviour. We identified issues such as virtual threats leading to physical harm, missing opting-out methods, and amplifying bias through perceptual filters. From the results we establish a collection of prescient challenges relating to security, privacy and behavioural manipulation within XR and present recommendations working towards developing future XR devices that better support security and privacy by default. CCS CONCEPTS• Human-centered computing → Mixed / augmented reality; • Security and privacy → Human and societal aspects of security and privacy.

“…As AR headsets are an emerging technology, guidelines regarding ethical usage of this technology [82] (e.g. around XR privacy [92], usage [112], human rights [2], neuro-rights [161], and privacy standards [51]) are just beginning to emerge. Moreover, because of the lack of public adoption, social norms are yet to be established although studies have hinted at norms slowly emerging [129], such as removing headsets when in other people's homes [79].…”

Fundamental to Augmented Reality (AR) headsets is their capacity to visually and aurally sense the world around them, necessary to drive the positional tracking that makes rendering 3D spatial content possible. This requisite sensing also opens the door for more advanced AR-driven activities, such as augmented perception, volumetric capture and biometric identification - activities with the potential to expose bystanders to significant privacy risks. Existing Privacy-Enhancing Technologies (PETs) often safeguard against these risks at a low level e.g., instituting camera access controls. However, we argue that such PETs are incompatible with the need for always-on sensing given AR headsets' intended everyday use. Through an online survey (N=102), we examine bystanders' awareness of, and concerns regarding, potentially privacy infringing AR activities; the extent to which bystanders' consent should be sought; and the level of granularity of information necessary to provide awareness of AR activities to bystanders. Our findings suggest that PETs should take into account the AR activity type, and relationship to bystanders, selectively facilitating awareness and consent. In this way, we can ensure bystanders feel their privacy is respected by everyday AR headsets, and avoid unnecessary rejection of these powerful devices by society.
