OC1 sub-project: PRINIA

The PRINIA project addresses the need to protect individual privacy and personal data in XR facial recognition. To achieve this, PRINIA develops an autonomous module that implements facial recognition in XR while ensuring the protection of individual privacy and compliance with relevant EU legislation and regulations by adopting a validated research framework and a three-step innovation process: i) privacy rules and compliance management, ii) facial recognition supporting privacy enhancement, and iii) integration for privacy-preserving XR facial recognition. The derived autonomous module supports various scenarios within XR environments, including individual identification, group categorization, and headset user identification, ensuring that users can be identified and categorized without compromising privacy or other sensitive data when using immersive technologies.
