FG-MV
Recently, metaverse has become one disruptive area of innovation with great potential to change our economy, way of living and communicating and society. In this nascent phase of the metaverse, the industry has not converged towards common terms and definitions. The metaverse concept has attracted considerable public attention.
The ITU Focus Group on metaverse was established under TSAG on 16 December 2022. The group analysed the technical requirements of the metaverse to identify fundamental enabling technologies in areas from multimedia and network optimization to digital currencies, Internet of Things, digital twins, and environmental sustainability.
It also provided a collaboration platform for dialogue, for identifying stakeholders with whom ITU-T could collaborate, and for enabling the inclusion of non-members to contribute to the technical pre-standardization work. The Focus Group work was enriched with the identification of relevant use cases.
FG-MV, including all its Working and Task Groups, concluded its work on 13 June 2024.
