XR technologies are rapidly transforming the way we work, learn, and connect. However, with this transformation comes the responsibility to ensure immersive technologies align with human-centric values and ethical practices.

The XR4HUMAN Code of Conduct Conference invites SMEs, researchers, developers, industry stakeholders, and policymakers to co-create a responsible future for XR in Europe.

Why this conference matters

As XR moves toward mainstream adoption, challenges around interoperability, privacy, safety, accessibility, and ethical development are at the forefront. The XR4HUMAN project has developed a Code of Conduct and Interoperability Guidelines to support the XR ecosystem in addressing these challenges effectively.

This conference is not just a presentation of results but a collaborative event where your insights and needs will help shape actionable next steps for responsible XR adoption.
