Delighted to share that our ARC Discovery Project on 'Proactive harm prevention for emerging virtual and augmented reality technologies' has been funded. Stoked to get to do more VR & AR work with Jo Gray and @benegliston.bsky.social, and keep growing @cavrn.org !
Grant project announcement, on: "Proactive harm prevention for virtual and augmented reality technologies. The project aims to develop a regulatory framework for emerging virtual and augmented reality technologies to proactively prevent harms. It addresses significant issues such as harassment, privacy infringements, exploitation and discrimination in immersive technologies. The research will examine different industry visions and their impacts, focusing on harms to marginalised users. Expected outcomes include a deeper understanding of these technologies' trajectories and actionable policy recommendations. The benefits will be safer, more equitable immersive systems and evidence-based regulations, contributing socially and culturally to Australia."

After their talks, one by one, he asked them: "But how will your research help me make a better game?
