In the rapidly evolving world of AR/VR technology, biometric recognition plays a crucial role. One common application is the user self-timer feature, which uses a device’s camera to capture life scenes. This process has become an essential part of many immersive experiences. However, as this technology becomes more widespread, concerns about privacy and data security have also grown.
On February 5, 2018, news emerged that biometric recognition in AR/VR applications is now under increased scrutiny. Illinois and Texas have already implemented regulations to protect users' biometric data, including facial recognition, fingerprints, and voice patterns. These laws are prompting many AR/VR companies to rethink how they collect and handle user information.
A recent report highlights how Google's apps like "Comparable User Self-Timer" and "Arts & Culture" were once among the most downloaded on Apple App Store. Yet, due to these new regulations, users in the U.S., especially in Illinois, can no longer access the self-portrait feature. This shows how quickly policy changes can impact even the most popular tech tools.
Currently, Illinois, Texas, and Washington have passed laws that restrict the collection of biometric data. These include retinal scans, fingerprint data, voiceprints, and facial geometry. Both states have taken steps to ensure that companies must obtain explicit consent before collecting such sensitive information from users.
Other U.S. states, such as Alaska, Connecticut, Arizona, California, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire, are also considering similar regulations. Beyond the U.S., several non-EU countries are exploring their own approaches to biometric privacy, either by drafting new rules or publishing official opinions on the matter.
In response to growing regulatory pressure, some industry leaders are pushing for stronger data protection standards. For instance, the European Union’s GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) has set a global benchmark. While it was originally designed for EU citizens, its influence is now shaping policies worldwide.
AR/VR companies are adapting their strategies to comply with these new rules. They are investing in more secure data handling practices and increasing transparency with users. As the technology continues to advance, balancing innovation with user privacy will remain a key challenge for the industry.
With more governments stepping in to regulate biometric data, the future of AR/VR will likely depend on how well companies can navigate these complex legal landscapes while still delivering engaging and personalized experiences.
Monopole Tower
Galvanized monopole tower
Galvanized monopole Towers are used for a variety of communication applications and are ideal for use when zoning is difficult. Monopoles can also be designed as camouflage poles: pine tree poles, flag poles, palm poles and other stealth towers. Many uses include cellular monopoles, wireless internet monopoles, wifi tower, homeland security monopoles, two-way monopoles, and wind tower monopoles.
1. Based on its shapes, it is generally divided into 5 types: Goblet type, cathead type, cathead type, shaped type and barrel type.
Based on application, it can be divided into: Strain tower, straight line tower, angle tower, transposition tower (tower for transposition of wire phase position), terminal tower and crossing tower, etc.
2. Their structural features are: All kinds of towers are of space truss structures; Bard are mainly composed of single equal angle steel or assembling angle steel; Materials are generally Q235(A3F) and Q345(16Mn); Bars are connected by black bolts with shearing force; Entire tower is composed of angle steels, link plates and bolts; A few components like tower base are assemblies of welded steel plates for convenience of hot galvanizing anti-corrosion, transportation and erection.
3. For steel towers that with height below 60m, shackles are mounted on one of main columns for construction people to climb to work. Our Company is a large scale enterprise specializing in manufacturing of 220KV (330KV) electric power steel tower with advanced manufacturing facility and international top-ranking assembly line.
