The field of virtual reality (VR) is rapidly evolving, with a focus on improving user interaction, security, and spatial tracking. Recent research has highlighted the importance of developing adaptive and context-aware selection techniques to enhance user experience in VR environments. Additionally, there is a growing concern about the security vulnerabilities of VR systems, including the potential for physical attacks that can manipulate user perception and actions. To address these challenges, researchers are exploring innovative solutions such as multi-objective and context-aware online adaptation of selection techniques, as well as the development of defense prototypes to mitigate threats. Furthermore, the accuracy of spatial tracking in VR devices has been identified as a critical factor in providing immersive experiences, with significant variations in performance observed across different devices and environments. Noteworthy papers in this area include: False Reality, which presents a systematic analysis of physical attacks against VR systems and introduces a new attack threat to VR devices. Adaptique, which proposes an adaptive model for selecting the most optimal selection technique based on user and environmental information. XR Reality Check, which provides a comprehensive empirical benchmarking of state-of-the-art XR devices and establishes a standardized framework for comparative XR tracking evaluation.
