Avi Bar-Zeev co-founded the XR Guild to embed ethical commitments—human dignity, privacy, transparency—into everyday XR practice. A veteran of early AR/VR, he has warned about biometric inference and mental autonomy risks, offering concrete norms for product teams and the public. His essays and talks catalyze culture change: safety and consent are features, not afterthoughts.
