Virtual Armor: Tools for Preventing Abuse in VR
summary
Virtual reality abuse hinges on concrete mechanics not vague warnings: studies and anecdotes show jump‑scares and physical reactions (a hug that makes someone forget the room or a museum demo where a whale terrifies a visitor) demand personal interaction bubble controls and clear preflight warnings. Implement region‑limited interactions, badges to signal consent, community moderation plus karma/ranking system for reputations, and platform‑level escalation like platform-wide suspension. Also build rehabilitation flows so punished users can reflect and return.
