Why brands must get ahead on metaverse privacy and security

  • min read
    • While there's much buzz around the metaverse, few conversations focus on its security, privacy and safety. But these challenges may be even bigger in this emerging space than in the rest of the digital world. I spoke with several experts who agree organizations wanting to embrace this new medium must think about the challenges now – not when the metaverse gains full steam. What is the metaverse? The metaverse is an immersive three-dimensional world where people engage in social and commercial activities through digital avatars. Users can access it on many kinds of connected devices, but it's most immersive when used with a virtual reality (VR) headset. There are many metaverses, including that being developed by Meta, formerly Facebook, Horizon Worlds. Some call it the future of the internet. In this metaverse future, our physical and virtual spaces and lives may converge seamlessly. It could create a common place to work, shop and socialize. Some put this future closer than we might think. Global analysts Gartner predict 25 percent of people will spend at least one hour in the metaverse by 2026. Market Research Future says the metaverse market will grow by 45 percent annually until 2030. By contrast, they expect the Internet of Things (IoT) to grow by just 26 percent each year. Little focus on metaverse security and safety "The metaverse's attack surface [possible entry points for malicious actors] is bigger, and it's also a new technology space," says Nick Donarski, co-founder and chief technology officer at blockchain company ORE System. "Developers don't have the experience, technical resources and exposure for long-term understanding of its security and how it applies to organizations." Al Pascual, senior vice president of enterprise risk solutions at identity security provider Sontiq, thinks we can easily get 'ahead of our skis' when it comes to security. "We invent new ways to give people experiences and products using old security paradigms and have to clean up the mess later," he says. "We must think about security before we start deploying the metaverse to everyone." Securing the 'Wild West' "The metaverse is like the Wild West right now. There aren't even any standards yet," says Aarti Dhapte, senior research analyst at Market Research Future and an author of its metaverse market forecast reports. "You can't even regulate it well because everybody doesn't define the metaverse the same way." Gartner defines the metaverse as "a collective virtual space created by the convergence of virtually enhanced physical and digital reality" that's "device-independent and not owned by a single vendor" with "an independent virtual currency." Other definitions include fully immersive experiences, a three-dimensional overlay on the physical world and a persistent collection of universes we can traverse with digital identities and assets. Despite its early stage, many security experts expect the metaverse will see familiar security threats: Social engineering, phishing, identity theft and more. "Cybercriminals' methods are rarely new. More often, they use the same methods in a new channel," says Pascual, whose fraud prevention career includes working for global banks. Adding blockchain to the mix Many think blockchain will play a central role in the metaverse because of the need to decentralize the space and enable the various worlds within it to interoperate. Cryptocurrency, which uses blockchain, is the natural candidate for metaverse ecommerce. The metaverse could use smart contracts – digital transactions stored on blockchain that self-execute under certain conditions – to implement rules. Also a new technology, blockchain adds complexity and security challenges to the metaverse. And while many think its immutability makes it more secure, recent attacks on blockchain highlight its security shortcomings. Virtual currencies, whether cryptocurrency or non-fungible tokens (NFTs,) are also hard to navigate, especially for a big metaverse user group – children. "It's risky for kids and teens to understand handling virtual money in all forms and can lead to big losses," Dhapte says. People still the weakest link Malicious actors most often use people manipulation to attack. For example, Verizon's 2022 Data Breach Investigations Report says 82 percent of data breaches involve a human element. The metaverse's human element is similarly exploitable. The metaverse will also magnify data privacy concerns. Artur Kane, vice president at secure remote access company GoodAccess, says that since the metaverse is a "world attacking even more of our senses," tech giants can use it to make more money with better-targeted advertising. That means tracking even more of our behavior online. "We give away much more information in the metaverse," says Kane, a frequent privacy speaker at industry events. "Companies can learn much about us – like race, sexual interest, potential health issues." He mentions recent research showing how attackers could exploit hardware and application weaknesses to violate privacy. They set up a benign-looking VR escape room game and inferred many participants' attributes, from height to age to location, with high accuracy using just minutes of gameplay. Regulation far behind Lagging data privacy and security regulation adds to the metaverse's Wild West feel. "We're giving away so much more data than we realize," says Kane. "There's huge potential for data breaches and leaks in a new environment where legislation doesn't restrict much." Blockchain regulation is also lacking, which Dhapte thinks could mean greater chance of fraud. "Since various countries don't have fixed regulations for blockchain, tracking fraudulent activities would be a real challenge for governments." User risks in immersive environments The metaverse is a rich playground for abuse – from sexual harassment to virtual assaults. "Any vulnerable group, especially children, faces higher risk as non-consensual contact and communication might be more intrusive and targeted, given how immersive the experience is," Kane says. A survey by global think tank Wunderman Thompson Intelligence found 66 percent of parents familiar with the metaverse have child safety concerns. Fears are not unfounded – one media investigation found behaviors like racist comments and sexually explicit content directed at children. Pascual of Sontiq says metaverse participants exchange little of monetary value today, "But in ten to 20 years, the potential for financial transactions is huge, especially as digital properties gain value. Thefts will become more meaningful." In the meantime, users still risk fraud. Pascual says scams draw kids looking for cryptocurrency and virtual swag. "We've seen evidence of predators targeting children in open worlds like Roblox. Parental oversight, education and control on who children can engage with and what they can see will be key." An investigation as part of Tomorrow Unlocked's hacker:HUNTER video series found rife hacking in children's games like Roblox, for example stealing hard-won digital items. These hacks had considerable impact on the child gamers. It's harder for parents to monitor children consuming content using VR headsets because they can't look over kids' shoulders as with a computer or phone. That gives brands launching metaverse experiences a greater responsibility to protect users. Protecting business in the metaverse For teams responsible for metaverse experiences, security experts like Pascual emphasize the need for moderation. He sees danger for brands in platforms ineffectively moderated. "Brand trust will be critical, so there's a need for moderation, including monitoring to ensure brands aren't easily imitated," he says. Moderation may not be easy. Tech giant Meta's chief technical officer said moderating user behavior "at any meaningful scale is practically impossible." Still, some experts think self-scrutiny by brands, alongside industry collaboration, will be a business imperative in the metaverse. The good news is security concepts are roughly the same in the metaverse, according to Donarski of ORE Systems. "The fundamental security practices carry over because the architecture is the same. It still runs on a server, you have databases on the backend, user and password management, and so on." It may take a while, but the metaverse will likely become a reality. Companies must consider security and privacy before that reality takes shape – whichever version of the metaverse unfolds.

Learning in 3D: How virtual reality is changing higher education

  • min read
    • In 1989 film Back to the Future II, set in an imagined California of 2015, virtual reality (VR) headsets are as common as our smartphones. Protagonist Marty McFly, seen in the first Back to the Future traveling to the 1950s and nearly erasing his existence, in the future finds his teenage offspring glued to their VR headsets. Beyond the real year 2015, VR is yet to become a fixture in our lives. But it's fast-growing – a study by Artillery Intelligence predicted VR will reach 25 percent of US internet users by 2023. Global shipments of VR and augmented reality (AR) headsets are set to reach 43.5 million by 2025 – a 690 percent growth on 2020 numbers. Part of this growth may be in VR's potential to change how future generations study, with immersive experiences giving learners a deeper understanding of their topic. "The limits are near endless. History teachers take students to the battleground and recreate battles. Instructors give virtual tours of museums, and students create 3D models of bridges and buildings, then stress-test them with weather effects," says Jonathan Kinsey, Senior Instructional Designer at Collegis Education, a higher education technology services provider. "It's an excellent tool for applying knowledge," he adds. Gur Windmiller, Astronomy instructor at the San Diego University, says, "I think VR can be used wherever content lends itself to the combination of immersion, interactivity and 3D spatial geometry. With enough funding, I can see many subjects benefitting from VR." Steven King, professor at University of North Carolina's Hussman School of Journalism and Media, built a 3D virtual version of his classroom, letting students walk about, talk to each other and form groups. "I feel like I'm engaging in class — a community aspect I would not have gotten from Zoom," said one of King's students in university news, The Daily Tar Heel. 3D visualizing in medical sciences Teaching anatomy and neurology involves translating a mass of complex, three-dimensional data into two-dimensional images for learning. Tod Clapp, Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Sciences at Colorado State University, says, "We got into VR because we wanted to find something that could solve the problem of students trying to translate two-dimensional images into three dimensions." Colorado State University built the world's first large-scale VR lab – 2,500 square feet equipped with 100 computers and VR headsets. Anatomy students can work in 'pods' of four, interacting with each other in the VR environment. "Students reported the course to be as engaging, or more engaging, than a face-to-face course," continues Clapp. Since Colorado State University was pioneering the use of VR on this scale in education, most course content had to be developed in-house – a huge undertaking, but one Clapp considers worth the effort. "In materials science data, we've had some collaborators looking at the way atoms align in metals. That's been exciting because when I look at it in three dimensions and collaborate with colleagues in three dimensions, it's intuitive." Traveling back in time with VR History buffs may have wondered what it was like to be a gladiator in Rome's Colosseum in 80 AD. Or to have roamed Pompeii's streets in 79 AD, seeing monuments, frescoes and public baths. Or when the Great Pyramid at Giza was built during the reign of Pharaoh Khufu in 2500 BC. With VR, history students can explore ancient civilizations almost as if they were there. In 2018, for the first time, anthropology students from Harvard University in the US and Zhejiang University, China "traveled" to the Giza Plateau and studied the tombs and Sphinx from their respective VR-equipped classrooms. About 7,000 miles away from each other, the two student groups worked together as avatars examining tombs and studying Egyptian hieroglyphs. More recently, apps like KingTut VR, Timelooper, and Trench Experience VR let students visit King Tutankhamun's tomb, experience World War II and virtually time travel around the world, all from a VR headset. Meanwhile, portals like ClassVR bring VR history curriculums to the classroom, letting students visit Stonehenge, the tomb of Ramesses VI or the Acropolis of Athens. News publishers like The New York Times and BBC have also released impressive VR learning experiences. Medical emergency practice without risk Nurses need to make fast decisions about patient care in high-stakes, stressful situations. Trainers have previously relied on 'manikins' – life-sized models – to demonstrate and let students practice. There's no scope for controlled crisis scenarios where student nurses can practice thinking on their feet. VR can bridge this gap. In 2019, West Carolina University's School of Nursing conducted a trial VR simulation. Participants were introduced to a virtual environment where a patient had experienced a severe allergic reaction. The virtual patient, whom a cat had bitten, was given an antibiotic which led to the patient going into anaphylactic shock. The participants had to deal with the emergency while the patient's condition worsened rapidly. Patricia Rade, a senior nursing major, told the university news, "It felt like I was at the scene and dealing with an actual emergency. It was a great experience. I had to use my knowledge and critical thinking skills to prioritize the best action." As well as simulating scenarios that would be hard to replicate, VR can reduce training costs that in some countries fall on students. Jonathan Kinsey of Collegis Education says, "Nurses probably need more tools than anyone – tools that need to be bought every time. VR gives us the chance to say, "Wait, let's replace this recurring expense with an up-front cost and never worry about it again."" More engaging, hands-on learning Students must often grapple with a flat and uninspired form of learning with online learning: Staring at a screen. But virtual classrooms can be more engaging, allowing better retention than even face-to-face classrooms. Students can interact with each other using avatars, look closer at what they're learning about and be physically involved in the subject. Windmiller says, "There is no question in my mind that VR is extremely engaging, especially being novel and different from anything else the students are doing." Clapp agrees, saying, "We see each other's avatars, and you reflexively turn to that person when you're talking to them. So, for us, VR has proven valuable for working and looking at three-dimensional data, and it's also highly engaging." A 2020 study showed how efficient VR learning can be, with a 75 percent retention rate over 5 and 10 percent respectively for lectures and reading. The only form of learning that beat VR was teaching others, with a retention rate of 90 percent. Another study in a Beijing classroom compared VR with traditional methods and reported students taught using VR scored 27 to 32 percent higher in tests. As with any connected technology, VR has its share of privacy and cybersecurity concerns. It may store sensitive personal data and is vulnerable to data breach and 'deep fakes – artificial video footage that closely mimics how a real person acts and sounds. Anyone investing in VR should learn about reducing cybersecurity and privacy risk and follow security steps like encrypting sensitive data and keeping firmware up to date. VR has much to offer in education, improving engagement, information retention and facilitating hard-to-replicate experiences, from high-pressure situations they'd face on a job or traveling back in time to see historical events play out. Although its adoption is far from widespread, headsets are selling fast, and big players are entering the market for developing VR learning experiences. With privacy and security at the forefront of our minds, VR could open new levels of skill, competence and opportunity for the next generation.

Autonomous or VR-controlled, this robot adapts to humans

  • min read
    • Fingers grip a kettle's handle and pour you a perfect cup of coffee. Then, they lift a suitcase, open a door and hand you a bottle of water. But this is no human assistant – under its sleek, white aluminum and plastic body, wheels shuttle this social robot to its next task. Its manipulating, gripping hands are innovative for robots. You can manage this next-gen robot's controls using virtual reality (VR.) The human behind these movements can be close or miles away. Humanoid robot EVE performs motions and actions useful in human settings. From the video promo for next-gen humanoid robot EVE, it's clear manufacturer Halodi Robotics of Norway wants to change the fast-moving robotics industry. Designing robots for human lives During our recent interview, Halodi's CEO Bernt Øivind Børnich said the company wanted to explore a different route. Launched in early 2020, the first version of EVE is designed to work with people with mobility issues or patrol areas unsafe for human guards, like nuclear waste sites or places with inhospitable weather. "We want to build robots that are safe, capable and affordable," says Børnich. "They can patrol autonomously without much human intervention. If a situation comes up, the owner can take control using a VR headset, rather than send in a human to do a dangerous task." All about robot EVE EVE is around the average height of an NFL player (6 foot 1 inches or 1.86 m,) but rather lighter at 174 pounds (less than 80 kg.) It can lift 17 pounds (8 kg) per arm and zips along at speeds of up to 14 miles (22 km) per hour. Cameras linked to Intel CPUs act as sensors that let EVE navigate its environment, whether in a home or traversing rough terrain outside a nuclear plant. EVE's face was designed to look like a robot, rather than human, face. Børnich says he was inspired by the 2008 Pixar and Disney film Wall-E: "Those eyebrows can express so much emotion, and we didn't want the robot to look too much like a human." He's no doubt aware of the 'uncanny valley' where people find robots creepy when their appearance is too human-like. Layered with AI, EVE can understand more human commands over time, as Halodi keeps feeding the software more data. So, in a home setting, someone could say, "bring me a bottle of water" and EVE will understand the command without any controller needed. EVE has been deployed for testing at the Toyota Research Institute in California, which specializes in nuclear research. A university in Norway is using the robot for research and teaching next-gen robotics. Børnich explains the next phase will bring another iteration of EVE to more pilot trials for commercial applications, including retail, in 2021. "Robots controlled by VR open many possibilities," said Darrell West, author of The future of work: Robots, AI and automation, when I interviewed him. "If they can help humans can avoid dangerous places, like minefields and extreme weather events, they can live up to the buzz." VR-controlled robots aren't new, as ABI Research analyst Rian Whitton said when I spoke to her. Notably, medical robotics let surgeons to remotely operate on patients using VR. "The more impressive innovations we've seen are in navigation [of rough terrain,] and the software stack to allow robots to work more autonomously," he adds. DaVinci robot controlled by a surgeon using toggles and buttons. Where to next for robotics? Here's the thing: robots controlled with VR aren't often in the public eye beyond healthcare and manufacturing. EVE could invite more innovations riffing of the theme of connecting these robots with more widespread applications. As Whitton noted in my interview with him, Halodi's market space is increasingly competitive and lucrative. Major players from the US, China and Europe are all vying for a piece of the 32 billion US dollar robotics industry, according to the 2020 estimates of robotics researchers ABI Research. Børnich contends what will separate winners from the 'also ran' manufacturers are general purpose robots. "The more tasks you can solve with one platform, the better positioned you are to bring more value to your customers. Look at smartphones: Before they came around, we had separate devices for GPS tech, telling the time, managing our schedules, and so on. Once you can put all that into one device and bring the cost down, everyone finds that new technology useful. It's the same with robotics." As progress in robotics accelerates, forward-thinking businesses shouldn't twiddle their thumbs on the sidelines. They should use the advancements these new technologies bring to healthcare, supply chains and everyday life. When opportunity knocks, the door should open as fast as possible.
forests VR

Virtual reality promises the earth, and it might just deliver

  • min read
    • In the last 8,000 years alone, we've destroyed around 80 percent of our forest. In 2018, 3.6 million hectares of rainforest disappeared – an area the size of Belgium. Trees are not just for decorating golf courses. Forests are vital to life on earth. Habitat for plants, animals and insects, they even maintain the climate. There will be children alive today who've never seen a forest and probably never will. But virtual reality may change that. It could allow anyone to experience and learn about forests and habitats that up until now, only a few have been able to see. Deforestation still on the rise In 2019 the Australian bushfires roared through 26 million acres of woodland – an area the size of South Korea. Despite protest, the Amazon is being replaced by crops and cattle at an alarming rate. It shows no sign of slowing. Brazilian Amazon deforestation is now at its highest rate in more than a decade. It can't go on. Forests are nature's nursery and its factory. They're home to billions of species, including humans. People live in forests and rely on their resources. One of these is respite. People of all walks of life use forests to escape, a contrast with increasingly sprawling cities. The world in a headset While deliberate destruction of forests isn't slowing, even those who love natural landscapes can do them harm. A new word only a few years ago, "overtourism" has damaged everything from farms to fragile ecosystems around the world, leading authorities to close sites indefinitely. Add questions posed by the climate impact of air travel, and you might conclude we should simply avoid more trips altogether. That's where virtual reality (VR) comes in. Here's one example of what learning about forests can look like in VR. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JvJCvdqvYs 360-degree film Under the Canopy takes viewers into the depths of the Amazon as if there in person. It's not just about beautiful views. The film's message is, this landscape will be destroyed unless we work hard to protect it. Why VR is learning's powerhouse It's long been known in the study of education that immersive learning, or learning by doing, is optimal for speed and retention of learning at all ages. VR changes learning about into learning through. It's the difference between watching a video that shows how all the parts of an engine fit together, versus taking an engine apart and putting it back together yourself. The 'reality' of virtual reality is also a learning linchpin. If we respond emotionally to what we see and hear, we stay focused longer and remember more. Emotional engagement even improves reasoning and problem solving. Filmmakers and advocacy groups are also using VR to help people understand the need to respond to climate emergency. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaKcbOgtXek The four-part film This is Climate Change explores deforestation, fires and famine. Viewers experience first-hand how civilization suffers as a consequence. It's an emotional ride that leaves you wanting to do more. Business can unlock VR's environmental potential If VR can make such an impact on each one of us, it could bring enormous positive change. Big tech firms and the organizations responsible for forest protection must work together to make environmental learning through VR that's accessible to as many as possible. Tech companies have the platforms and resources to deliver on what VR promises to the planet. The earth won't wait. This article was published in April, 2020.

Does virtual and augmented reality mean augmented cybercrime too?

  • min read
    • Not so long ago, augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) were the stuff of science fiction. Now they've become more than just niche experimental technologies. They're rapidly entering the mainstream, particularly in the consumer world of interactive media. But it's not just things like video games that are being transformed by the rise of VR platforms – there are some promising business cases for AR and VR too. In fact, some experts estimate that they will become indispensable technologies in the business world by as early as 2025. What is augmented and virtual reality? Although augmented and virtual reality are closely related, they're not the same thing. AR 'augments' the real world around the user by adding digital elements to the real-world view. Perhaps the most familiar example is the mobile game Pokémon Go, as well as less successful products like the infamous Google Glass. VR, by contrast, provides a far more immersive experience, since it relies on shutting out the physical world entirely. Popular VR devices include gaming platforms like HTC Vive and Oculus Rift, as well as lower-tech and more affordable experiences like those offered by Google Cardboard. Another term you'll encounter is mixed reality (MR), which refers to experiences that combine elements of both VR and AR. One of the best-known examples is Microsoft HoloLens, an MR platform designed specifically for business applications. What are the business applications of augmented and virtual reality? Rapid prototyping One of the most promising applications is product prototyping, a process which involves creating a complete digital model of a product (or, a so-called digital twin) and merging it with a VR experience. This allows for extensive testing and ideation without the high costs of developing multiple physical prototypes. Employee training Another popular business application, and one that's already entering mainstream use, is employee training. By applying VR or AR to training programs, it's possible to build a safe and highly interactive simulated environment with real-time feedback. Similarly, AR and VR can help improve workplace safety, especially in hazardous environments, be they workshop floors or nuclear reactors. AR can also help workers assemble, operate and maintain complex machines by providing real-time information overlaid onto their headsets. These are just a few of the exciting applications of augmented and virtual reality. And, though they might still sound like science fiction to the layperson, they're actually not. Companies like Ford, Airbus and Sotheby's are already using them. The wearable camera problem Augmented reality headsets depend on their abilities to understand the local environment, which means cameras are often essential components and they can pose a security risk. Ever since the first Google Glass prototype was released to much fanfare back in 2013 (only to fail miserably by 2015), there have been growing concerns around privacy and security. The launch of Google Glass even gave rise to the colorful term 'glasshole', which refers to those people who behaved inappropriately while using the device (such as by spying on others and taking photos without their knowledge). But edgy names aside, this has serious implications in fields such as healthcare where organizations are subject to strict compliance regulations like HIPAA to protect patient privacy. A new frontier for social engineering Aside from privacy concerns, AR and VR devices are connected like any other. They're part of a rapidly growing global network that's often dubbed the Internet of Things (IoT). And, like any connected device, they handle the transmission and storage of data, which might be misappropriated by hackers. When it comes to the immersive experiences of AR and VR, this has especially worrying potential in corporate espionage and social engineering. When technology can reach the point of convincing the brain it's somewhere where it's not, the opportunities for taking advantage of human vulnerabilities are enormous. As with any technology, the weakest link is normally the users themselves, which makes AR and VR a unique target for exploiting people. For example, attackers might inject features into VR platforms designed to mislead users into giving away personal information. There are also new implications for ransomware, in which attackers could sabotage platforms and interrupt important meetings before asking for a ransom. VR and AR experiences are only going to get more immersive and more realistic. On the one hand, this might make them more engaging and widely used. On the other, it makes them more dangerous. Fake identities, or so-called 'deepfakes' generated by machine-learning technologies, for example, allow for the manipulation of voices and videos to the extent they still look like genuine footage. If a hacker could access the motion-tracking data from a VR headset, they could potentially use it to create a digital replica. They could then superimpose this on someone else's VR experience, such as an immersive business conference, to carry out a social engineering attack. With people interacting more and more through avatars, this brings an entirely new dimension to the disturbing world of cybercrime. Data breach risks Aside from potentially providing cybercriminals with new ways to manipulate their victims, VR and AR present all the classic cybersecurity risks too. As systems that transmit and store data, they're fair game for anyone wanting to get their hands on the most valuable commodity in the world: personal data. They're also possible targets for denial of service attacks (DDos), which could have very serious implications for those depending on AR in critical situations such as surgical procedures or when operating dangerous machinery. Mitigating the risks isn't as hard as you think To address the risks associated with AR and VR, it's best to start with the core principles of information security – the very same ones that should be governing the wider IT infrastructure across the organization. Although attacks against AR and VR systems manifest themselves in different ways, the technological and administrative measures used to safeguard them are similar to other forms of connected technology. They use the same protocols as any other connected device, so all the standard rules apply – include them in your risk assessments, keep firmware up to date and encrypt any sensitive data. And never take security for granted. Most AR and VR devices don't encrypt data by default, and they may integrate with third-party apps which themselves have dubious security. On top of all the standard measures, AR and VR present some unique challenges, particularly when it comes to physical security and safety. One of the biggest problems with VR specifically is that it completely blocks off a user's visual and auditory connection to the outside world. It's always important to evaluate the physical safety and security of the user's environment first. This also applies to AR, in which it's important for users to maintain a high degree of situational awareness, particularly in more immersive environments. And, it should go without saying, but don't run around in a busy workspace wearing a VR headset! Although identity and access management are central to any information security strategy and concern any device, this is an area that's often overlooked when it comes to the adoption of AR and VR systems. You might, for example, be able to identify other people you're working with by their avatars, but there's also the potential risk of the avatar being copied and used by an unauthorized party. Fortunately, used in the right way, AR and VR can potentially improve identity and access management with multifactor authentication (MFA) – for example using eye-tracking sensors to verify your identity before you can access the rest of the system. While the challenges are undeniable, so is the potential of adopting augmented and virtual reality into the workplace.
