Sexual Assault in the MetaVerse – Presentation Video – By: Charis Liu & Cailean Paskall

Hey all,

You can find below the link to mine and Charis’ presentation! We hope you enjoy it and we would love to hear your comments. Feel free to comment on this post, the Youtube video, or even reach out to us!

However, I would insert a trigger warning here. There is also a trigger warning in our presentation, but we just wanted to warn you that our presentation deals with difficult topics such as sexual assault. Please do not feel obligated to watch our presentation if you feel as it will be triggering to you.

Best,

Charis and Cailean

    Fascinating presentation; great job you two!
    The idea of turning off VR input when under assault was particularly intriguing. One might think, in contrast to physical (sexual) assault, that may make “escape” a lot faster/easier, but then again, the freeze response would kick in nonetheless (plus the impact of trauma would be more or less the same).
    Nevertheless the idea reminded me of the Z-Eye tech in Black Mirror… maybe we’re not too far from reaching that level of technology.

    Thank you NY – funny you mention Black Mirror. When Charis and I were discussing the topic, we considered adding a part about the ‘Striking Vipers’ episode!
