Workshop 4 – 3D Web Interoperability for the Metaverse
Date: Wednesday, 10 September – starting at 11:00am
Description: This workshop will discuss the progress and directions of the 3D Web Interoperability Domain Group from the Metaverse Standards Forum. Web of Worlds – This project to link virtual worlds highlights a compelling analogy between the World Wide Web—a unified system of URL-addressable, interconnected interactive experiences—and what we envision as a cohesive metaverse platform. This envisioned platform comprises numerous addressable and interconnected spatial experiences, or virtual worlds, collectively forming what we call the “Web of Worlds.” Just as websites create a networked digital ecosystem, these spatial-first experiences would interconnect to create a seamless virtual world.
Coordinators: Johannes Behr and Nicholas Polys
