Toward open standards for shared virtual worlds
Immersive virtual world technologies are evolving into persistent, shared spaces that increasingly blur the boundaries between physical and digital life. They hold transformative potential across industry, education, healthcare, entertainment, commerce, and scientific research.
At the same time, current systems remain fragmented across closed hardware and software ecosystems. This workshop addresses interoperability, asset portability, platform lock-in, and the need for design and ethical frameworks that safeguard privacy, fairness, transparency, and human agency.
