Abstract

With the rapid growth of RRR (VR, AR, MR) technology, there is a greater need for better interaction features such as immersiveness, interactivity, and multi-perception. RRR, as a new emerging information technology, presents a possible solution for generating interaction and fusion for data integration technology between both real and virtual space, and then provides different products and services. As RRR technology becomes more widely available, it is critical that we understand the possible effects on consumers, both positive and negative. This study focuses on the social, ethical, and legal issues or challenges that arise as a result of the usage of VR, AR, and MR technologies. We will also discuss the practical challenges that come with employing these technologies. According to Moore's Law, there is a relationship between technological advancement and social, legal and ethical assessments. We go over all of these issues and plan for future developments. It examines the characteristics of RRR technology that provide issues for the construction of legal regulation for its implementation. This study evaluates the interaction characteristics of RRR and draws conclusions about their relationship in social, ethical, and legal challenges.
