Virtual World Society presents "XR Entertainment: Exploring the Ethical Landscape"

May 30

05:00 PM - 06:00 PM

Description

Like so much else in technology and culture, the worlds of gaming and entertainment are under increasing ethical scrutiny from press and public alike. In XR entertainment, the unique characteristics of immersive media add extra layers of complexity and subtlety to ethical questions. XR entertainment creators have a responsibility to understand and address issues including privacy and safety, volition and agency, trust and truthfulness, and nuanced problems of representation. Our panelists will take a thoughtful view of these ethical dimensions with a special focus on potential solutions and best practices.

Mobile Augmented Reality is already a mainstream media platform in use today by more than 1 billion consumers worldwide. With the release of new untethered headsets and more content to experience on them, Virtual Reality is on its way to critical mass as well. Games and entertainment have been the key driver for adoption on the consumer end, but will it be enough to sustain the current speed of adoption? What's the demand for entertainment applications and how can developers monetize? Finally, where are the biggest opportunities for advertisers and creators who seek to engage these hard-to-reach consumers? Will the gaming-focused Oculus Quest open the floodgates and serve as the catalyst for broader consumer adoption? Learn the answers to these questions and more as Stephanie Llamas, head of XR at SuperData, a Nielsen Company, presents critical data and insights from her unique vantage at the center of the exploding VR and AR universe.
