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.
