PriMa Avatars

Project Overview

PriMa Avatars is coordinated by the chair of Human-Computer Interaction under EU ITN project PriMa (Privacy Matters), with a specific focus on the protection of personalised (photo)realistic avatars against identity theft in social virtual reality.

The objectives of PriMa Avatars are to create the design guidelines for a secure social VR system with the integration of identity management, authentication and data encryption techniques, to investigate the interplay between such privacy protection and user social behaviours, and to enhance the overall user experience focusing on trust, trustworthiness and authenticity.
