Security and Privacy in Augmented and Virtual Reality (AR/VR)

Research Areas: Human Centric Security

Principal Investigator: Berkay Celik

This project investigates emerging threats in mixed reality environments. The research includes analyzing user interface (UI) attacks in WebXR, exploring the extraction of sensitive information like speech from zero-permission VR sensors, and inferring users' semantic locations from the spatial maps generated by their devices. The primary objective is to identify and create defenses against vulnerabilities that are unique to AR/VR platforms.
