How can we prevent real world problems in virtual environments? What rights do our virtual bodies have? David & Joe chat with Kalila Shapiro, a Processing Foundation fellow who is currently writing a series on VR Ethics for All Tech Is Human, about the need to tackle thorny ethical issues facing virtual reality.
