Tech giants launch Metaverse Standards Forum
Microsoft, Meta and 35 other members have founded ‘The Metaverse Standards Forum’ in a bid to drive “open metaverse interoperability.” It brings together various standards organisations and companies for industry-wide cooperation on interoperability standards needed to build the open metaverse.

“The Forum will explore where the lack of interoperability is holding back metaverse deployment and how the work of Standards Developing Organizations (SDOs) defining and evolving needed standards may be coordinated and accelerated,” as per an official press release.

Apart from Meta and Microsoft, Adobe, Qualcomm Technologies, Nvidia, Huawei, Sony Interactive Entertainment, Epic Games and Alibaba are also among the founding members.

The list of founding members includes 0xSenses, Academy Software Foundation, Autodesk, Avataar, Blackshark.ai, CalConnect, Cesium, Daly Realism, Disguise, the Enosema Foundation, the Express Language Foundation, IKEA, John Peddie Research, Khronos, Lamina1, Maxon, OpenAR Cloud, the Open Geospatial Consortium, Otoy, Perey Research and Consulting, Ribose, Spatial Web Foundation, Unity, VerseMaker, Wayfair, the Web3D Consortium, the World Wide Web Consortium, and the XR Association (XRA).

As per an official release, the Forum will focus on “pragmatic, action-based projects” such as implementation prototyping, hackathons, plugfests, and open-source tooling to accelerate the testing and adoption of metaverse standards. This will be open to any organisation at no cost, it said. It will also work on developing “consistent terminology and deployment guidelines.”
