Workshop the wild world of privacy & XR
Using XR raises unique privacy questions. In this hands-on workshop, you can experiment with tools to identify XR risks for your institution and gain insight into vendor requirements. There will also be room to share experiences.

How to use XR responsibly
XR headsets, apps, and cloud services are emerging faster than your institution's governance structures can adapt. It's not just about what eye tracking reveals or how long sensor logs are retained; it's also about how we as institutions decide to purchase, evaluate, and use XR responsibly. With increasing regulatory pressure and tight budgets, it's essential to understand the questions to ask before an XR headset ends up in the classroom.
During the online meeting in June on XR & Privacy, it became clear that many questions exist regarding XR and privacy (in Dutch). In this meeting, we will explore these further.
For whom?
This workshop is intended for:
- Privacy officers within organisations
