Microsoft, Meta Epic, and others are founding a metaverse open standards group
- PaulHoule 4y agoKhronos Group has been good at writing standards but no so good at keeping up with developments in technology and not so good at getting standards adopted. When I think of OpenGL these days for instance, I think about making apps for low end Android phones and maybe WebGL. In the wider world there is DirectX, Vulkan, CUDA, Metal, etc. Intel has gotten behind OpenCL and called it OneAPI but they call it "One" because that's how many software developers are interested. Thus this standardization process might not be the beginning of something but a very long end that drags on.
