虚拟、增强和混合现实(XR)技术正变得越来越普遍。然而，XR的上下文性质及其数字和物理环境的紧密耦合带来了真正的损失和危害。这意味着，审计-检查系统运行情况的能力--将通过提供能够进行整改、修复和追索的信息，在事件发生时对其进行处理。然而，支持XR中的审计带来了一些考虑，因为获取审计数据的过程本身对应用程序(例如，管理费用)和更广泛的应用程序都有影响和挑战。本文探讨了审计XR系统的实用性，描述了审计和其他考虑之间的紧张关系，并论证了支持此类管理的灵活工具的必要性。为此，我们引入了Droiditor，这是一个可配置的开源Android工具包，可以在运行时从移动应用程序捕获与审计相关的数据。我们使用Droiditor作为一种方法来指示审计数据捕获的一些潜在影响，演示更好的可配置性如何帮助管理与审计相关的问题，并讨论由此产生的潜在考虑因素。鉴于社会对更透明和更负责任的系统的需求，我们更广泛的目标是提请注意审计，突出具体的前进方向和未来工作的领域。
Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Reality (XR) technologies are becoming increasingly pervasive. However, the contextual nature of XR, and its tight coupling of the digital and physical environments, brings real propensity for loss and harm.This means that auditability---the ability to inspect how a system operates---will be crucial for dealing with incidents as they occur, by providing the information enabling rectification, repair and recourse. However, supporting audit in XR brings considerations, as the process of capturing audit data itself has implications and challenges, both for the application (e.g., overheads) and more broadly.This paper explores the practicalities of auditing XR systems, characterises the tensions between audit and other considerations, and argues the need for flexible tools enabling the management of such. In doing so, we introduce Droiditor, a configurable open-source Android toolkit that enables the runtime capture of audit-relevant data from mobile applications. We use Droiditor as a means to indicate some potential implications of audit data capture, demonstrate how greater configurability can assist in managing audit-related concerns, and discuss the potential considerations that result. Given the societal demands for more transparent and accountable systems, our broader aim is to draw attention to auditability, highlighting tangible ways forward and areas for future work.
