Challenges in passenger use of mixed reality headsets in cars and other transportation

“…Standardization In terms of headset platforms and interoperability with vehicle environments Security and privacy For example, supporting the sharing of personal data to drive VR experiences Our paper builds upon this work. Based on our review of the nascent literature on passenger MR experiences, and our prior research into VR headset usage by passengers both in-car (McGill et al 2017) and in-flight (Williamson et al 2019), we identify and outline the most significant research challenges, classified in terms of being either functional impediments to use, or design challenges that, when overcome, might increase acceptance and adoption of these new technologies.…”

“…Occluding reality whilst in transit could even result in a variety of issues that could make headset use unpalatable or even unsafe. Loss of awareness of other passengers means that VR/AR users may accidentally disrupt others or physically invade their space (Williamson et al 2019). Fellow passengers may not know if they are visible to a headset user and be unsure how or if they can interact with that person (e.g.…”

“…Cameras incorporated into headsets can also be used for mixed reality, for example the "Pass Through" views on the Oculus Quest or Gear VR which use a front-facing camera to provide a view to the real world in virtual reality. Some travel contexts may be better suited for early adoption of VR/AR, for example air travel (Williamson et al 2019;Qantas 2015), where passengers must spend extended periods of time in an enclosed and monitored space where other passengers have been previously security screened.…”

“…Firstly, we briefly discuss the problems with existing in-vehicle display technology that justify the deployment Fig. 1 Two use cases of MR displays in transit of particular note are (left) in-car (McGill et al 2017) and (right) in-flight (Williamson et al 2019), as both use cases have the potential to feature private/ secure surroundings with journeys of long durations of MR headsets in transportation. Secondly, we consider the most pressing problems regarding supporting MR headsets in transit, which are split into two categories:…”

Knowledge-driven Biometric Authentication in Virtual Reality

“…Users are often unaware of bystanders [10], especially whilst being immersed in VR [14,27], who were shown to be able to infer the VR user's input (e.g., PINs) [14,16,40]. As researchers and practitioners in VR are very keen in creating immersive and mature technologies to increase users' experience and embed such novel technologies into our mundane life [18,36], research to protect actual users against attacks (e.g., observation attacks, guessing attacks, or video attacks where attackers record and play back user's authentication [8,15]) is still limited. RubikBiom protects users from such attacks even if attackers have access to the correct secret as it provides users with an additional security layer.…”
