The Clap
Tech giants including Meta, Microsoft, & others in the chip & gaming industries have formed the “Metaverse Standards Forum” to encourage the development of the metaverse industry moving forward.
Why?
These companies believe that developing the metaverse industry in a way that is compatible with most, or even all of them, would be in their best interest.
Why this matters
Some big-name companies were left out, however. Most notably Apple, along with gaming company Roblox, which has previously expressed its shift in focus towards building the metaverse.
But Apple not being there has surely raised some eyebrows. The tech giant is reportedly testing a new mixed reality headset, & analysts have the company poised to be one of the biggest players in the metaverse industry.
