3D Assets: New features, Tooling, and What Comes Next

Tuesday, July 21 | 10:00 am – 11:00 am PDT
Location: Los Angeles Convention Center, Room 518
Registration: A SIGGRAPH Experience badge or higher is required for BOFs
Description: Interoperable assets are foundational to spatial computing, whether it be representing people, places, or things. This BoF takes a look at some of the interoperable asset work that’s gone on between various SDOs in the last year; their ratification status, real-world implementations, available tooling, and sample assets.These are standards that are continuing their development into the next year; this is your opportunity to shape the directions of the standards.

OMBI: Open Standards for the Metaverse Browser

Tuesday, July 21 | 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm PDTLocation: Los Angeles Convention Center, Room 513Registration: A SIGGRAPH Experience badge or higher is required for BOFsDescription: AR glasses are arriving. Airports, hospitals, logistics centers, and universities are already planning spatial deployments, but the open infrastructure layer that makes it all work doesn’t exist yet. The Open Metaverse Browser Initiative (OMBI), a Metaverse Standards Forum initiative seeded by RP1’s operational prototype, is building that layer: an open-source Metaverse Browser Engine (Sneeze) that connects any device to spatial services on demand, on open standards from Khronos, W3C, and OGC, with no proprietary lock-in. This BOF brings together industry contributors to walk through the architecture, share progress, and ensure the AR hardware race produces a genuinely open spatial web.Presenters and Discussion Leaders
