As this group also seeks to create a specific and consistent terminology of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technology, as well as 3D, with the aim of formalizing the development of the metaverse as a unified concept, so that companies use the same technical standards and comply with the same regulations.
It was revealed that Neil Trevett, an executive of the chip manufacturer Nvidia, is the executive who chairs the Metaverse Standards Forum, for which he indicated in a statement that any company is welcome to join the group, including participants from the world of cryptocurrencies. .
“This universe will bring together various tools, which will require a constellation of interoperability standards, created and maintained by many organizations”, added Neil Trevett, president of Khronos, the forum’s organizing group.
“The Metaverse Standards Forum is a unique venue for this coordination, with a mission to foster pragmatic and timely standardization that It will be essential for an open and inclusive metaverse,” he says.
