Volumetric Media Interoperability - Metaverse Standards Forum

Volumetric Media Interoperability

View Working Group Charter
The Volumetric Media Interoperability EG seeks to build understanding around volumetric media and draft a charter for a “Volumetric Media Interoperability” Domain Working Group. Opportunities for more immersive services are increasing as volume capturing and rendering devices become more readily available. As a result, more technologies are being developed to address the requirements for compressing, storing, and delivering volumetric media. Multiple SDOs (e.g. 5G-MAG, 3GPP, MPEG, VFA, SVTA, DVB, SBTVD, etc.) have established isolated focus or study groups to solve issues affecting volumetric media services. Because of the wide-spread interest and isolated initiatives, the volumetric media ecosystem is becoming fragmented.

November 2024 - Town Hall

The Volumetric Media Interoperability Town Hall was held on 26 November 2024. The event brought together experts from the industry in a series of short presentations focusing on volumetric media capture, vertical solutions, market understanding and the role of standards.
