Proposed: Portable #world Content

Context and Problem Statement

Independent meta-verses (virtual worlds) lack content because their communities are too small to fund much content work.

Describe the feature / enhancement and how it helps to overcome the problem or limitation

Collaborate with Mozilla Hub’s Spoke Editor and OMI Group’s glTF2 extensions to have portable #world content.

Describe how your proposal will work, with code, pseudo-code, mock-ups, and/or diagrams

Provide basic glTF2 extensions. Here is an initial list.

  1. URI scene linking
  2. Archive binary format
  3. Audio emitters

If this enhancement will not be used often, can it be worked around with a few lines of script?

There are many moving parts and a web client, which is not a few lines of code.

Positive Consequences

  • Easier creation of new virtual worlds.
  • Encourage remixing content
  • Keeping old content portable to new virtual #world

Negative Consequences

  • Have to find different monetization means for independent virtual #world

Is there a reason why this should be core and done by us?

No one is doing it.
