The field of Extended Reality (XR) is shifting towards a more inclusive and brain-aware approach. Researchers are moving away from replicating natural sight and instead focusing on co-adapting brain and device through bidirectional interfaces. This new design space prioritizes neural constraints, behavioral goals, and cognitive state, enabling the creation of more effective and personalized XR experiences. Noteworthy papers include:
- Bionic Vision as Neuroadaptive XR: Closed-Loop Perceptual Interfaces for Neurotechnology, which proposes a reframing of bionic vision as neuroadaptive XR and introduces a new design space for inclusive computing.
- Rethinking Privacy Indicators in Extended Reality: Multimodal Design for Situationally Impaired Bystanders, which explores novel privacy indicator designs that are effective for situationally impaired bystanders and highlights the need for adaptable and situationally aware designs.
