New Research on Securing XR Systems to be Presented at MobiHoc 2025 Workshop

We are pleased to announce that a new research paper leveraging the ILLIXR platform will be presented at an international workshop co-located with MobiHoc 2025. This upcoming presentation highlights ILLIXR’s role in enabling cutting-edge research on the security and trustworthiness of extended reality (XR) systems.

1. First Workshop on Enhancing Security, Privacy, and Trust in Extended Reality (XR) Systems, co-located with the 26th ACM International Symposium on Mobile Ad Hoc Networking and Computing (MobiHoc 2025)

   • Paper Title: "Detection and Recovery of Adversarial Slow-Pose Drift in Offloaded Visual-Inertial Odometry"
     • Authors: S. Saha, M. Absur, and S. Debroy
     • Summary: This paper introduces  a lightweight, headset-side defense that detects and mitigates subtle adversarial attacks in offloaded Visual-Inertial Odometry (VIO). The system leverages temporal consistency between locally integrated and server-returned poses to identify spoofed inputs in real time.  Evaluations on ILLIXR show over 10× improvements in trajectory and pose accuracy under attack scenarios, while maintaining millisecond-level latency suitable for XR hardware .
