Understanding Privacy in Virtual Reality Classrooms: A Contextual Integrity Perspective
“One reason concerns can arise around virtual reality’s use in education is that while VR platforms allow both real and virtual environments to exist simultaneously, each environment may adhere to different privacy norms. For example, if a student uses VR technology to attend a virtual lecture while at home, they are in two vastly different environments at the same time. Many VR platforms do not recognize these differences and may collect sensitive information about the user’s home environment, causing a violation of privacy of which the user may not be aware.”
