Multimodal VR/AR/XR Privacy
Researching privacy in virtual and augmented reality environments.
AVAIL: Anonymization of Videos using AI for Large scale data sharing
Tests AI ways to hide children's faces and voices in recorded videos, so autism research videos can be shared while weighing privacy against how useful the video stays.
Summaries are written by AI in plain language from public symposium abstracts and may be imperfect.
