Potential Business Impact:
Protects augmented reality from tricking your eyes.
Augmented reality (AR) enhances user interaction with the real world but also presents vulnerabilities, particularly through Visual Information Manipulation (VIM) attacks. These attacks alter important real-world visual cues, leading to user confusion and misdirected actions. In this demo, we present a hands-on experience using a miniature city setup, where users interact with manipulated AR content via the Meta Quest 3. The demo highlights the impact of VIM attacks on user decision-making and underscores the need for effective security measures in AR systems. Future work includes a user study and cross-platform testing.
