Neil Trevett, President of The Khronos Group and VP of Developer Ecosystems at NVIDIA, rejoins Patrick Cozzi (Cesium) and Marc Petit (Epic Games) to kick off season 3.

The good news is that the MSF is experiencing brisk growth: Since its inception two months ago, the forum has grown to more than 1,500 members. These include companies and so-called SDOs. This refers to organizations involved in standards development. Joining is free of charge.

The Metaverse Standards Forum, which launched on 21 June 2022, isn’t trying to wrangle those details—not directly. But the forum sees an opportunity to get everyone to sit down at the same (probably virtual) table and hash out the basic technologies needed. With a more solid foundation, the forum believes, the metaverse can better develop and evolve.

The Metaverse Standards Forum è un’iniziativa consorziale che unisce le principali organizzazioni di sviluppo degli standard interoperabili Web/3D e brand commerciali per creare e condividere gli standard interoperabili necessari ad accelerare lo sviluppo delle applicazioni del metaverso. Da non confondere con la volontà di dare luogo a un metaverso unico, il Forum vede la presenza di realtà come Meta, Epic Games e Microsoft. Tra i grandi assenti della prima ora figurano Apple, AWS e Roblox.
