Commentary: The Ethics of Realism in Virtual and Augmented Reality
Mario Lorenz · Frontiers in Virtual Reality · 2020
In their opinion article, “The Ethics of Realism in Virtual and Augmented Reality,” Slater et al. (2020) raised awareness on themanifold ethical issues arising fromXR developing into a ubiquitous and daily used technology. The article of Slater et al. is true in every aspect. However, there was one further aspect missing, which will likely play a very important role when XR is no longer contained in laboratories and professional applications but a daily used technology: the ubiquitousness of drugs and their influence on perception and cognition in relation to XR.
