XR4Human: The Equitable, Inclusive, and Human-Centered XR Project

在几年内，扩展现实(XR)技术已经从基于实验室的研究转变为一种常见的消费品。事实上，XR技术提供的促进和增强的好处和可能性是多产的。然而，与其他新兴技术一样，XR技术的使用和最终的无处不在带来了以前从未存在的潜在风险。尤其重要的是现在需要考虑的新的道德和相关的安全、隐私、安全挑战和互操作性问题。发展基础，以确保欧洲有足够的能力通过巧妙地导航新的挑战来利用这些机会，这是XR4HUMAN的基本原理。该项目的主要目标是在欧洲实践社区内共同创建关于XR技术的伦理和相关政策、监管、治理和互操作性问题的实时指导。这一主要目标将通过以下具体目标实现：探索(1)道德问题；(2)相关的监管和治理问题；通过(1)互操作性指导文件指导公司和监管者；(2)公平、包容和以人为本的XR技术的欧洲行为准则；(3)记录和演示XR行为准则的实际应用；为公司和监管者配备在线测试案例储存库，使开发人员能够证明遵守最佳做法的证据；通过评级系统和教育材料装备和指导用户；促使公司和其他利益攸关方(I)加强对《XR行为准则》、互操作性指南的理解，并增强终端用户的能力；(Ii)建立一个常设的数字欧洲论坛，以促进利益攸关方就道德和互操作性问题进行对话。

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.
