Proposal(s) title:
- Mapping and Structuring the Standardisation Landscape of Virtual Worlds
Proposal(s) topic:
Web 4.0 and virtual worlds
Impact on SMEs:
The metaverse and eXtended Reality market is characterised by an intense battle for technological ecosystems. American companies dominate the XR platforms for desktop and handheld XR; VR headsets come from the USA, Taiwan or China; game consoles come from Japan or the USA. In Europe, there are many software manufacturers and a few hardware manufacturers. For suitable market access, standardisation is absolutely critical to digital sovereignty and strategic autonomy, and finally to the success of Europe’s SMEs.

While the fellowship does not directly develop a new standard, it supports future standardisation activities through a six-dimensional XR & Virtual Worlds classification framework and the analysis of approximately 1,900 standards-related records. Results are discussed within the StandICT TWG “Virtual Worlds”, the Metaverse Standards Forum (MSF), ITU JCA-MV and ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 24 activities, supporting future work on interoperability, terminology, governance, accessibility, digital identity and Virtual Worlds architectures.
