The Metaverse can be defined as a universal, immersive virtual world that is principally facilitated by Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR). As such, VR/AR/MR technologies combined with ICT integration are critical to the development and evolution of the Metaverse.

ISO and IEC, through its technical committees and subcommittees (TC/SCs), have been developing standards for over 20 years that are relevant to implementing Metaverse applications. These include well-established standards for imagery, audio, video, and VR/AR/MR, and information technologies for learning, education, and training.

Recorded on:

June 26, 2023 at 21:00 – 24:00 UTC
Organized by: IEC Academy and ISO/IEC JTC 1 / AG 1 [Advisory Group 1]

This workshop featured presentations on projects and activities underway in ISO and IEC and explored future directions for Metaverse standards development.
