From Web Browser to Metaverse Browser

The open-standards moment for AR glasses and the spatial services they need

The web scaled on a simple premise: anyone can host content, any standards-based client can display it, and no single company controls either side. 

Spatial computing now faces the same choice. You can put on AR glasses today, but the current web stack cannot browse geolocated spatial content. Either we build an open, standards-based web for spatial content and services — or we risk staying locked into proprietary walled gardens. 

In this session, Sean Mann (CEO, RP1) and Neil Trevett (President, Metaverse Standards Forum and Khronos Group) will pull back the curtain on the Open Metaverse Browser Initiative and Sneeze — the first open-source metaverse browser engine, hosted at the MSF to invite broad participation from standards bodies and industry. Leave knowing exactly what is being built, who is building it, and how to get involved.
