Lab Principles, Ethics & Inclusion

At VRiend Lab, our research in VR/AR/XR is grounded in building accessible, equitable, and supportive environments for research and learning.

• Ethical XR Research: Human safety, privacy, identity preservation, and psychological well-being are fundamental tenets of our experimental methodologies.
• Inclusive by Design: We co-design XR technologies alongside diverse individuals and communities to ensure immersive environments are accessible to all body types, physical abilities, and learning needs. Our research is informed by the principles of human-centred universal design and inclusion.
• Supportive Environment: We value constructive collaboration, mentorship, work-life balance, and mutual respect among all lab members.
