Building Ethical Memory Archives
Consent, ownership, and access boundaries for digital memory archives and collaborative storytelling in VR products.
Memory products touch identity, family, and trust. Ethical defaults are essential when users contribute intimate personal artifacts.
Consent should be explicit and revisitable
Users should be able to set and revise permissions as relationships and context evolve.
Ownership must be transparent
Product copy and account settings should make it clear who owns original artifacts, generated media, and scene configurations.
Design for reversible sharing
Temporary links, role-based access, and clear revocation patterns reduce long-term risk.
