MASSXR 2025: The 3rd Workshop on Multi-modal Affective and Social Behavior Analysis and Synthesis in Extended Reality (Affiliated with IEEE VR 2025)

Abstract

The objective of MASSXR 2025, the 3rd Workshop on Multi-modal Affective and Social Behavior Analysis and Synthesis in Extended Reality, was to bring together researchers and practitioners from fields including cybersecurity, human-computer interaction, computer graphics/animation, multi-modal machine learning, Artificial Intelligence (AI), data privacy, and socio-technical studies to discuss the state of security in Extended Reality (XR), as well as future directions and opportunities. Through this, it aimed to achieve adaptive, context-aware security measures that are both technically robust and aligned with user trust and understanding. The workshop provided an opportunity to foster collaborative research efforts and advance the state of secure social interactions within XR, setting a foundation for future innovations in the field.
