OMA3 expands effort to make standards for the Open Spatial Internet

OMA3, an association based in Zug, Switzerland, is announcing a new project called the Spatial Store to enable the open 3D internet. OMA3 is a consortium of the top creator companies in Web3 building standards and infrastructure to enable the user-empowered metaverse.

The 1990s gave rise to the consumer internet, born out of closed systems like Compuserve and AOL. These walled gardens constrained innovation, and the web’s potential was not fully realised until the research community continued to evolve open standards like HTML and HTTP. OMA3, as a non-profit consortium, aspires to do the same for the spatial/3D web as the research community did in the 90s for the 2D web.
