Building 3DWeb Interoperability for the Metaverse

This workshop brings together participants from around the world with the goal of building a strong foundation for an open, interoperable Metaverse using the Web and the Web Standards ecosystem. The workshop will focus on four main topics: 1) The variety of relevant Standards and technology roles in the Metaverse stack, 2) the role of the 3D Web Interoperability Working Group, which has recently been chartered in the Metaverse Standards Forum, 3) scoping what the Metaverse IS NOT, and 4) how Use Cases and Scenarios can help clarify what the Metaverse IS. In this emerging space, perspectives and tradeoffs abound; we hope this workshop will push our understanding and terminology forward and also provide the community with an actionable set of common (yet extensible) referents and goals.
