- Abstract: Immersive technologies, including augmented and virtual reality (AR & VR)
devices, have enhanced digital communication along with a considerable increase
in digital threats. Thus, authentication becomes critical in AR & VR
technology, particularly in shared spaces. In this paper, we propose applying
the ZeTA protocol that allows secure authentication even in shared spaces for
the AR & VR context. We explain how it can be used with the available
interaction methods provided by Head-Mounted Displays. In future work, our
research goal is to evaluate different designs of ZeTA (e.g., interaction
modes) concerning their usability and users' risk perception regarding their
security - while using a cross-cultural approach.

Motion Data [58.27542320038834]
We show that a large number of real VR users can be uniquely and reliably identified across multiple sessions using just their head and hand motion.
After training a classification model on 5 minutes of data per person, a user can be uniquely identified amongst the entire pool of 50,000+ with 94.33% accuracy from 100 seconds of motion.
This work is the first to truly demonstrate the extent to which biomechanics may serve as a unique identifier in VR, on par with widely used biometrics such as facial or fingerprint recognition.

We propose a learning-based Incentive Mechanism framework for VR services in the Metaverse.

Second, for quick trading of VR services between VR users (i.e., buyers) and VR SPs (i.e., sellers), we design a double Dutch auction mechanism.
Third, for auction communication reduction, we design a deep reinforcement learning-based auctioneer to accelerate this auction process.
