The Augmented Gaze: data, privacy and the right to alter reality (panel discussion)
Alina Kadlubsky, Rob Morgan, Kelsey Farish, Kelsey Farish

What happens to our data and privacy if AI-powered XR glasses become everyday wear? What happens to our perception of ourselves and others if we can each customise and augment our reality —or be augmented by others?

Our panel of lawyers, policy researchers and industry practitioners will examine the data infrastructures of global-scale spatial computing and ask: who will own YOUR reality?
