The rapid advancement of immersive technology has sparked grave concerns about the potential for virtual rapes, image-based abuse and physical and sexual assaults.
Australia’s eSafety Commission has warned new harms may emerge from hyper-realistic technology such as VR headsets and haptic suits - a wearable device which produces vibrations and engages a user’s sense of touch.
“While eSafety has not – as yet – received any reports of mishaps with haptics, or other misuses of these technologies, we anticipate that as they become more widely used these immersive technologies will give rise to a range of online safety issues,” says eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman-Grant.
