What Guides Ethical XR?

As extended reality technologies become increasingly embedded in our lives, the question of how to design these virtual spaces responsibly is more urgent than ever. What values should guide creators? Who decides what’s ethical in XR โ€” and how do we move from abstract principles to real-world impact?

Yesterday, XR4Europeโ€™s Michael Barngrover hosted an insightful discussion featuring
Shereen Cox, PhD (University of Oslo) and Dr Lene Aarvelta Hagen (University of South-Eastern Norway), exploring the evolving XR4Human Code of Conduct.

This live conversation unpacked:

  • The foundational principles behind the Code
  • The tension between high-level ethics and actionable guidelines
  • The role of such a document in a fast-changing, global XR ecosystem

This was the first in a three-part series of live sessions designed to illuminate the work and thought behind the XR4Human Code of Conduct โ€” a resource built to support XR developers in making informed, ethical decisions.
