eXtended Reality (XR) technologies have within a few years moved from lab-based research to a common-place consumer item. Indeed, the benefits of and the possibilities that XR technologies offer to promote and enhance are prolific. As with other emerging technologies, however, the use and eventual ubiquity of XR technologies bring with them potential risks that have not existed before. Of particular importance are new ethical, and associated safety, privacy, security challenges and interoperability issues that needs to be considered now. Developing the foundationsto ensure that Europe issufficiently equipped to leverage these opportunitiesthrough skillful navigation of new challenges is the rationale for XR4HUMAN. The MAIN OBJECTIVE of the project is to co-create living guidance on ethical and related policy, regulatory, governance, and interoperability issues of XR technologies within a European community of practice. This main objective will be operationalized through the following specific objectives: EXPLORE (i) ethical issues; and (ii) related regulatory and governance issues; GUIDE companies and regulators through (i) Interoperability Guidance Document; (ii) a European Code of Conduct for Equitable, Inclusive, and Human-Centered XR Technologies; (iii) recording and demonstrating the practical application of the XR Code of Conduct; EQUIP companies and regulators with an online repository of test cases to allow developers to demonstrate evidence of adherence to best practices; EQUIP and GUIDE users through a rating system and educational materials; ENGAGE companies and other stakeholders (i) to enhance the uptake of the XR Code of Conduct, the Guidance for Interoperability, and the empowerment of end users; and (ii) to establish a permanent digital European Forum to facilitate stakeholder dialogue on issues of ethics and interoperability.

扩展现实 (XR) 技术在几年之内就从基于实验室的研究转变为常见的消费品。事实上，XR 技术所带来的好处以及促进和增强的可能性是非常多的。然而，与其他新兴技术一样，XR 技术的使用和最终普及也带来了以前不存在的潜在风险。特别重要的是现在需要考虑的新道德以及相关的安全、隐私、安保挑战和互操作性问题。 XR4HUMAN 的基本原理是奠定基础，确保欧洲有足够的能力通过巧妙应对新挑战来利用这些机遇。该项目的主要目标是在欧洲实践社区内共同制定关于 XR 技术的道德和相关政策、监管、治理和互操作性问题的生活指南。这一主要目标将通过以下具体目标来实现： 探索 (i) 道德问题； (ii) 相关监管和治理问题；通过 (i) 互操作性指导文件来指导公司和监管机构； (ii) 欧洲公平、包容和以人为本的 XR 技术行为准则； (iii) 记录并演示XR行为准则的实际应用；为公司和监管机构配备在线测试用例存储库，使开发人员能够证明遵守最佳实践的证据；通过评级系统和教育材料装备和指导用户；让公司和其他利益相关者参与进来 (i) 加强 XR 行为准则、互操作性指南以及最终用户授权的采用； (ii) 建立一个永久性的数字欧洲论坛，以促进利益相关者就道德和互操作性问题进行对话。
