@openmetaverse
We bolster the metaverse as an open and interoperable resource for anyone, inspired by the collaborative efforts of the community. Whatever the metaverse means to you, we have space for you.
One of the better initiatives out there, to put it mildly

Fruitful collaboration between Basis and OMI peeps!
Basis shares our philosophy, and is building the steps to hop into the metaverse. Join the conversation where we discuss our common philosophy and vision, next Monday - check either discord server for info and share your views!
Imagine playing 17776 in the #Metaverse. What would it look like? www.sbnation.com/a/17776-foot...

What do the open #metaverse and #cats have in common?
The management of semi-feral communities!
Not even kidding, this is a comparison one of our members made: indiebio.co.za/community-en...

Y'know, we're gonna need those roller coasters on the train tracks post-apocalypse.
The metaverse is a snowglobe. #meta4Mondays

this is a Festival Scene demo

The metaverse is a bus. Or a train.
Inspired by a conversation about the portability between virtual worlds:

How far can we push the metaphor?
Discuss: **The #metaverse is #music.**
How does this metaphor hold? More fun: how does it fall down?
Inspired by an analysis of the Zelda theme.

Meta4Mondays is a social experiment getting to know each other's views on the metaverse in a creatively absurd way.
Shaping a truly open and interoperable metaverse is a big goal that we share with the Open Metaverse Interoperability Group. π
Join us sowing the seeds of a human-centered and accessible metaverse π«

#Interoperability
We've been adding a few entries to our very casual, very organic github wiki:
"Initiatives in the larger Metaverse open ecosystem" - shining a light on similar initiatives, growing the open metaverse.
github.com/omigroup/omi...
Who should be listed here? Do you know of other lists like this?
What is your vision for the metaverse?
A fun ice-breaker interview prompt for your chosen LLM. We had a blast discussing our results!
There's no right or wrong answers, it's about exploring how we all think differently.

Please help a Second Lifer find the peeps!
Hot take: The digital footprint of a property will become part of its property rights in the years to come.
This was part of the conversation during yesterday's RP1 demo, showing their spatial fabric coordinate space system.
The solar system demo was epic but actually not even the point.

Now to get this into the metaverse, into games, into 3D interactive visualisations! myoceanlearn.marine.copernicus.eu
When we say "Metaverse" what we probably really mean, is this. So cool!
@vworldsmuseum.bsky.social kickstarter live! This is broader than just curating a museum, VWM is also conserving knowledge, contributing to the wider community - great project.
another example: jin, another OMI member, is interested how to get into new groups easily without needing to understand their entire collection of archives first (through assisting tools, for example AI agents we call librarians).
Our recent event also touched on this: omigroup.org/building-the...
Wider than social [platform] interoperability (while of course including that!), but more concerned about how people in different areas get each other to understand what they mean. How to communicate across corporate/indie culture, languages, jargon, technical expertise - @indiebio.bsky.social
I'm the noob in residence, but I think the conversation is broader than a specific project, more how to bridge them. Things like IPSME (ipsme.dev), digital brain tagged notes (Obsidian as example)... stuff like that. @realmweaver.bsky.social mentioned "a communication protocol as easy as email" ...
thanks again for the interest. This was a broader conversation that started about integrating desktop and VR, or just evolving beyond the 2D / WIMP interfaces. It then expanded into seamless data/information access across digital walled-gardens.
the convo is here: discord.com/channels/887...
Hi svanloon, thanks for the interest! I asked on the glTF working group channel on Discord: discord.com/channels/887... - I will relate back, but feel free to join the convo there too.
We'd like to find who's out there on bsky involved in the following broad areas, whatcha got?
* 3D asset interoperability
* Protocol interoperability
* Social interoperability
