Immersive technologies, including augmented and virtual reality (AR VR) devices, have enhanced digital communication along with a considerable increase in digital threats. Thus, authentication becomes critical in AR VR technology, particularly in shared spaces. In this paper, we propose applying the ZeTA protocol that allows secure authentication even in shared spaces for the AR VR context. We explain how it can be used with the available interaction methods provided by Head-Mounted Displays. In future work, our research goal is to evaluate different designs of ZeTA (e.g., interaction modes) concerning their usability and users' risk perception regarding their security - while using a cross-cultural approach.
