Meta Quest Pro falls short on biometric protections
<p>I’ve worked with eye tracking technology since 2010 (Hololens) and written <a href="https://avibarzeev.medium.com/for-xr-the-eyes-are-the-prize-25d43a533f2a" rel="noopener">publicly since 2019</a>. Here are some thoughts after reading all of the available documents on Meta’s eye tracking protections and their rationales.</p>
<p>Meta clearly wants us to believe they’ve gone to great lengths. But despite some very capable advisors working to offer <strong><em>some</em></strong> protections, I am deeply concerned that genuine critics and outside domain experts were not adequately utilized or listened to. Meta apparently took the easy way out in almost all cases. But kudos for the transparency!</p>
<p><strong>Conclusion up front</strong>: I would suggest users and policymakers not be appeased with half-measures. I don’t like regulation, but it’s time to classify and protect this and other biometric data as health data. And until then, I don’t consider this headset safe.</p>
