Ethics of XR

Bye is an advocate for discourse around the ethics and moral dilemmas presented by VR and AR.[10]

In March 2019 at Laval Virtual, Bye took part in a think tank called, "Future Dreaming: Designing for New Realities."[11][12] On May 31, 2019, Bye presented a keynote at Augmented World Expo which summarized the ethical implications explored during Laval Virtual and through his interviews with subject experts for Voices of VR.[13] This presentation formed the foundation of what would ultimately become the "XR Ethics Manifesto" that Bye presented on October 18, 2019, at xRS Week from Greenlight Insights.[14][15]
