论文摘要
社会虚拟现实（VR）的道德设计不是一个新话题，但是考虑到元评估的热量，使用社会VR的“安全”问题被升级到不同的水平。例如，据报道，将近一半的女性识别VR参与者至少发生了一个虚拟性骚扰的情况。感觉安全是一项基本的人类权利 - 在任何地方，无论在真实或虚拟空间中。在本文中，我们试图了解用户关注点和设计在保护社交VR应用程序中的用户安全方面的差异。我们首先分析Twitter帖子，然后综合四个主流社会VR平台采用的安全保护实践，从而研究对社会VR经验的安全问题。我们认为，未来的研究和平台应以边界意识探索社会VR的设计。
The ethical design of social Virtual Reality (VR) is not a new topic, but "safety" concerns of using social VR are escalated to a different level given the heat of the Metaverse. For example, it was reported that nearly half of the female-identifying VR participants have had at least one instance of virtual sexual harassment. Feeling safe is a basic human right - in any place, regardless in real or virtual spaces. In this paper, we are seeking to understand the discrepancy between user concerns and designs in protecting user safety in social VR applications. We study safety concerns on social VR experience first by analyzing Twitter posts and then synthesize practices on safety protection adopted by four mainstream social VR platforms. We argue that future research and platforms should explore the design of social VR with boundary-awareness.
