Meta, Microsoft, and other tech giants with a strong interest in the metaverse have formed a group to foster development of industry standards. The goal is to ensure that companies’ digital worlds are compatible.<\/p>\n
Technology companies that are already part of the Metaverse Standards Forum range from chip manufacturers to gaming companies, as well as established standards-setting bodies such as the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).<\/p>\n
Tech companies that are not on the panel, at least for now, are Apple, the games companies Roblox and Niantic, and emerging crypto-based metaverse platforms such as The Sandbox and Decentraland.<\/p>\n
According to Neil Trevett, an executive at the chipmaker Nvidia and Chairman of the Metaverse Standards Forum, the panel is trying to facilitate communication between a variety of standards organizations and companies in order to achieve “real-world interoperability” in the metaverse.<\/p>\n
Trevett also stated that any interested company is welcome to join the group including participants from the crypto world.<\/p>\n
