The Metaverse Standards Forum is a non-profit, member-funded consortium of standards-related organizations, companies, and institutions that are cooperating to foster interoperability for an open and inclusive metaverse. https://metaverse-standards.org
At #SIGGRAPH 2026, Neil Trevett (Metaverse Standards Forum), Yin-Chien Yeap (RP1), and Dean Abramson (RP1) laid out the case for the Open Metaverse Browser Initiative (OMBI), an open, standards-based layer that lets any device connect to spatial services on demand. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HzM...
