Question for data collection from Oculus Rift

The launch of the Oculus Rift is the first big moment of the arrival of virtual reality, but despite a steady reception from users, the company's policies are in question, when it comes to and how it respects the privacy of people using the device.spy Oculus Rift

Al Franken, a Democratic US senator, posted a public letter addressed to Brendan Iribe, the CEO of Oculus Rift. With the letter, he asks for more details on how the company collects and stores them και στη συνέχεια πως μοιράζονται αυτές collected by users with others .

 

The main concern seems to be to link the virtual reality device to Facebook, which could allow the larger social network to get even more detail than its members and then use them to better target content and ads .

Al Franken says:

"Πιστεύω ότι οι Αμερικανοί έχουν το θεμελιώδες δικαίωμα της ιδιωτικής ζωής και το δικαίωμα αυτό συμπεριλαμβάνει την πρόσβαση του ατόμου σε πληροφορίες για τα δεδομένα που συλλέγονται από αυτούς, το πώς επεξεργάζονται και ποια δεδομένα μοιράζονται με άλλες εταιρείες. Καθώς η τεχνολογία της εικονικής πραγματικότητας εξελίσσεται, θα ήθελα να σας ζητήσω την παροχή περισσότερων πληροφορούν για το Rift και πώς η Oculus ασχολείται με τα θέματα της προστασίας της ιδιωτικής ζωής και της ασφάλειας."

 

The senator admits on the other (as a genuine diplomat) that sharing information collected can improve the experience of virtual reality but wants to make sure that the methods of protection are adequate.

The fairly hypocritical message in this story is that a government is worried about the protection of personal data that may be at risk from a virtual reality device when the United States Information Service NSA collects everything.

Please note that Oculus Rift is not the only virtual reality device.

In autumn Sony is preparing to release the PlayStation VR, which is expected to break into the market with higher overall sales as it is linked to the already successful PlayStation 4 series.

Έτσι ο Al Franken για τους δικούς του λόγους (βλέπε ψήφοι) μπορεί να "ανησυχεί" για τη σχέση μεταξύ της Oculus Rift και του Facebook, αλλά και άλλες εταιρείες που ετοιμάζουν συσκευές εικονικής πραγματικότητας θα έχουν επίσης τη δυνατότητα να μοιράζονται προσωπικά δεδομένα σε τρίτους.
