This meetup group is dedicated to avatar interoperability R&D spanning file formats, wearables, and animation systems. Our goal is to produce content and documentation while live field testing and to aid other open metaverse standards working groups.
We meet weekly on Tuesdays at 1pm EST starting in the M3 discord, you can add the event to your calendar here.
As we're testing and making content with avatars during the week, our goal is to also provide useful feedback to a couple of other related working groups in OMI, mainly the OMI scripting group and the OMI glTF-extensions group.
