The MetaTr@versal Initiative acts as a convener of the stakeholders of the Metaverse holding events designed to foster cooperation and advocate for standards and interoperability.
MetaTr@versal began in 2021 with a series of Zoom calls among industry leaders to express support for portal interoperability across social XR platforms. This was followed up with a special 2-hour panel event, followed by a three-act play performed on the Main Stage at AWE in June of 2022.
MetaTr@versal holds portal crawls between platforms to demonstrate the need for interoperability.
Recently MetaTr@versal convened the Volumetric Video community in an unprecedented gathering of C-Level leadership to discuss cooperation across this sector of the XR Industry.
Founding Fellow Neil Trevett credits MetaTr@versal as being instrumental in the founding of the Metaverse Standards Forum, which he chairs. The creation of the Metaverse Standards Forum far exceeds any goal MetaTr@versal could have aspired to accomplish by forming a permanent body to address the needs of the "Constellation of Standards" it will take to achieve the Metaverse.
