Interoperability

Aim

The aim is to provide an overview of the current state of interoperability, existing and emerging standards, guidelines, surveys frameworks, white papers, and best practices related to XR and spatial computing.

Objectives

  • Map the current state of Interoperability in XR, from an XR infrastructure perspective, platforms, and systems
  • Create awareness of lack and limitations of interoperability in the XR and spatial computing community/Industry and how this affects the development of XR solutions as well as accessibility.
  • Assess whether interoperability affects accessibility in XR and spatial computing.
    Specific Objectives:
  • To assess the existing state/landscape of interoperability within XR and spatial computing
  • To identify, address and identify issues/challenges and emerging requirements.

Methodology:

Literature review, Mapping exercise

Code of Conduct

The XR4Human Code of Conduct sets forth the ethical obligations for developers involved in technological innovation and governance of immersive technologies, including Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), Mixed Reality (MR), as well as all current and other emerging immersive environments. The Code is designed to ensure that these technologies respect human rights, protect user privacy, promote inclusivity, and safeguard the mental, physical, and social well-being of all users.

1. Learn

Read and become familiar with the XR4Human CoC. Learn by exploring the Educational Toolbox and the publications (on Ethics, Interoperability & Legal policy) in the Rating Repository

2. Assess

Conduct a self-assessment of your own XR technology concept via the Ethical Impact Assessment (EIA) and the CoC Compliance Checklist

3. Test and Explore

Test your idea and get new ideas by exploring the Experience Library

4. Reflect

Reflect on the rating information received after completing your self-assessment and join the XR4Human Forum to revise and improve your XR concept
