  EXTENDED PRIVACY FOR EXTENDED REALITY:
     XR   TECHNOLOGY HAS 99 PROBLEMS AND
             PRIVACY IS SEVERAL OF THEM


               Suchismita  Pahi  & Calli Schroeder

      Americans  are rapidly adopting innovative technologies which
are pushing the frontiers of reality. But, when they look at how their
privacy is protected within the new extended reality (XR), they willfind
that U.S. privacy laws fall short. The privacy risks inherent in XR are
inadequately addressed  by current U.S. data privacy laws or court-
created frameworks  that purport to protect the constitutional right to
be free from unreasonable  searches. Many scholars, including Ryan
Calo, Danielle Citron, Sherry Colb, Margaret Hu, Orin Kerr, Kirsten
Martin, Paul Ohm,  Daniel Solove, Rebecca Wexler, Shoshana Zuboff,
and  others, have highlighted the gaps in  U.S. privacy protections
stemming   from   big data,  artificial intelligence, and increased
surveillance technologies.
       However, the depth and breadth of what XR technology reveals
about  a person, the risks it poses to bystanders, and the imminent
paradigm   shift of a public space versus a private space are new
problems.   This paper  provides  three  central contributions for
technologists, legislators, and anyone interested in privacy rights:first,
a brief guide to understanding XR technology; second, a survey of the
current U.S. privacy landscape and the gaps in U.S. privacy protections
for XR; and  third, an easily digestible list of solutions that legislators
and  technologists can pursue to better protect privacy in XR.
