New research from vpnMentor reveals: VR headsets can identify users with 94% accuracy in under two minutes—using only motion data.
Key findings:
- 94% accuracy. Users can be uniquely identified after 100 seconds of head and hand movement—comparable to fingerprints.
- Biometric and voice data. 60% of VR companies collect biometric data (including Apple, Microsoft); 66% record audio/voice.
- Data leaders: Qualcomm collects all 16 tracked data categories (most of any company); Pico and Varjo follow close behind.
- Legal gaps. 70% of Oculus apps have undisclosed or inconsistent data practices; current privacy laws don’t fully cover real-time VR tracking.
- Cross-border risks. Companies routinely transfer user data—including sensitive biometrics—outside users’ home countries.
