Technical problem

Privacy and security of what a headset senses

Where this problem statement comes from

FDA — Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality in Medical DevicesFDA page lists cybersecurity and privacy among the probable risks of AR/VR medical devices; it does not prescribe specific controls for headset sensor data. The problem statement is AVRMD's framing; the cited work documents the difficulty.
