contents This position paper explores the possibilities and challenges of using Virtual Reality (VR) in remote user studies. Highlighting the immersive nature of VR, the paper identifies key vulnerabilities, including varying technical proficiency, privacy concerns, ethical considerations, and data security risks. To address these issues, proposed mitigation strategies encompass comprehensive onboarding, prioritized informed consent, implementing privacy-by-design principles, and adherence to ethical guidelines. Secure data handling, including encryption and disposal protocols, is advocated. In conclusion, while remote VR studies present unique opportunities, carefully considering and implementing mitigation strategies is essential to uphold reliability, ethical integrity, and security, ensuring responsible and effective use of VR in user research. Ongoing efforts are crucial for adapting to the evolving landscape of VR technology in user studies.
