Who’s Who in the Metaverse
An independent, fact-checked briefing on how one company positions itself in spatial computing, presented at the Use Case Spotlight Series of the Metaverse Standards Forum’s Use Case Task Force, which we chair. Each briefing is published in full under Insights.
Company names identify the subject of each independent briefing. They do not imply endorsement of Hkdolts or a commercial relationship.
The Use Case Repository
30 published use cases, from NFT metadata and portable personal content to 3D web field trips and remote assistance for autonomous robots. They form the evidence base the Forum uses to direct interoperability work across its member standards bodies. We lead every release.
