## Purpose

Comprehensive standards for AR/VR development, immersive experiences, and spatial computing

This AR/VR standard defines the requirements, guidelines, and best practices for ar/vr development standards. It provides comprehensive guidance for immersive experience development, spatial computing, and cross-platform AR/VR applications while ensuring user safety and optimal performance.

**AR/VR Focus Areas:**
- **Immersive Experience Design**: User-centered design for 3D environments
- **Spatial Computing**: Mixed reality and spatial interaction patterns
- **Performance Optimization**: Frame rate, latency, and resource management
- **Platform Integration**: Cross-platform development and deployment
- **User Safety**: Comfort, accessibility, and health considerations
- **Content Creation**: 3D assets, animations, and interactive elements

## Scope

This AR/VR standard applies to:
- All augmented reality and virtual reality applications
- Mixed reality (MR) and extended reality (XR) projects
- Spatial computing and 3D interaction systems
- Immersive content creation and management
- Cross-platform AR/VR development
- User experience design for immersive environments
- Performance optimization for real-time rendering
- Platform-specific deployment and optimization

## Implementation

### AR/VR Requirements

**NIST Controls:** NIST-AC-1, AC-6, AU-2, AU-12, CM-2, CM-8, IA-2, IA-4, RA-3, RA-5, SA-3, SA-8, SC-7, SC-8, SI-3, SI-4

**Spatial Computing Framework:** Mixed reality and spatial interaction design
