I sat in on this year’s SXSW panel on the legalities of VR. Legal counsel from Oculus, Google, and Pokemon discussed the legal issues that arise with VR – particularly when individuals are expected to merge VR with reality.
This is the case for Pokemon Go for example, as people were getting mugged, hit by cars, or just disturbing memorials or graves. Where can we make legal boundaries that affect VR? What if someone in your VR game assaults you, do you have a claim against them?
Here’s a brief article outline the events at SXSW geared towards the law.
