[semantics-public] [Announcement] The Keys to an Open, Interoperable Metaverse - Web3D Consortium's Position Paper

[Web3D Announcement]

The term ‘Metaverse’ has taken on a new sparkle recently, appearing 
prominently in the marketing materials of a number of large technology 
companies. Indeed, many have attempted, or are attempting, to co-opt it 
for their own purposes, which has resulted in a great deal of confusion 
among producers and consumers in the marketplace. With this short 
position paper, the Web3D Consortium seeks to address this confusion by 
exploring the history of the ‘Metaverse’ that has led us to our current 
state, providing a workable definition of the term ‘Metaverse’, and 
providing a vision for its sustainable, cooperative construction into 
the future. We believe that all the technologies are in place to fulfill 
the vision of an open, equitable, and ubiquitous information space. What 
remains are the key issues that have kept the Metaverse from manifesting 
the last two decades:user experienceandcorporate cooperation.
