​Protecting User Privacy in Virtual Reality
This project proposes multiple privacy preserving techniques to protect users and user data in virtual reality. We investigate both personal space and methods to preserve user privacy of recorded VR motion data to protect against re-identification attacks if a user's data is obtained my a malicous entity.
