 ISO/IEC 27573 — Privacy protection of user avatar and system avatar interactions in the metaverse [PROPOSAL]

Abstract

[TBA]

[Source: none yet]

Introduction

[TBA]
 

Scope of the standard

 The proposal is to provide guidance on addressing the privacy challenges associated with the metaverse as people increasingly engage with virtual worlds through personal avatars projecting various aspects of their personality.
 

Content of the standard

[TBA]
 

Status

 Currently at Preliminary Work Item stage.

 Publication as an International Standard is planned for 2028.
 

Personal comments

 This is an innovative, forward-looking standards proposal to prepare privacy guidance at this early, formative stage in the lifecycle of the metaverse. There’s an opportunity to explore and address the privacy implications as an integral and supportive part of the ongoing developments in the field, from the outset, hopefully avoiding the difficulties and costs of having to retro-fit privacy controls to already-established norms later on.
