社会虚拟现实:一个新兴研究空间的伦理思考和未来方向

Social Virtual Reality: Ethical Considerations and Future Directions for An Emerging Research Space

Divine Maloney, Guo Freeman, Andrew Robb

摘要:

近年来,商业社交虚拟现实(VR)平台的蓬勃发展标志着消费者VR的增长和广泛采用。社交VR平台从传统的2D虚拟世界中汲取了一些方面,在传统的2D虚拟世界中,用户可以参与各种沉浸式体验、互动活动以及基于化身的选择。然而,社交VR也展示了扩展传统2D虚拟世界和其他在线社交空间的特定细微差别,例如完整/部分身体跟踪化身,以新的方式体验平凡的日常活动(例如,睡眠),以及一种身临其境的方式来探索新的和复杂的身份。越来越受欢迎的趋势表明,顶级技术公司都有自己的社交VR平台,并对此感兴趣。到目前为止,社交虚拟现实已经成为一个新兴的研究领域,主要集中在设计策略,沟通和交互方式,细致入微的活动,自我展示,骚扰,隐私和自我披露。这些最近的工作表明,在社交VR学术领域仍然存在许多问题,例如如何在这些网站上进行道德研究以及哪些研究领域需要额外关注。因此,在本文中,我们概述了现代社交虚拟现实,批判性地回顾了该领域的现有学术研究,提出了在这些网站上进行研究的伦理考虑,并强调了未探索的领域。

英文摘要:

The boom of commercial social virtual reality (VR) platforms in recent years has signaled the growth and wide-spread adoption of consumer VR. Social VR platforms draw aspects from traditional 2D virtual worlds where users engage in various immersive experiences, interactive activities, and choices in avatar-based representation. However, social VR also demonstrates specific nuances that extend traditional 2D virtual worlds and other online social spaces, such as full/partial body tracked avatars, experiencing mundane everyday activities in a new way (e.g., sleeping), and an immersive means to explore new and complex identities. The growing popularity has signaled interest and investment from top technology companies who each have their own social VR platforms. Thus far, social VR has become an emerging research space, mainly focusing on design strategies, communication and interaction modalities, nuanced activities, self-presentation, harassment, privacy, and self-disclosure. These recent works suggest that many questions still remain in social VR scholarship regarding how to ethically conduct research on these sites and which research areas require additional attention. Therefore, in this paper, we provide an overview of modern Social VR, critically review current scholarship in the area, raise ethical considerations for conducting research on these sites, and highlight unexplored areas.
