Patrick Cozzi, Cesium founder, has been a significant contributor to open 3D standards, and the Khronos Group has helped provide a forum and process for establishing and promoting standards such as glTF.
In coordination with the conference team, Neil Trevett of NVIDIA and Alexey Medvedev of Meta will lead a Khronos Group feedback session, the glTF Ecosystem Forum, held in the main stage room of the conference. With glTF as an industry-wide standard for transmission of 3D content on the web, the group is eager to hear developer-suggested updates and discussion around it.
