Open Source Summit North America 2023

We all want the amazing experience of the Metaverse, but what about the underlying infrastructure? The Metaverse presents a new set of challenges to edge computing and networking, taking demands for low latency, high throughput and availability to levels never seen before. In this presentation Ranny will analyze the different types of Metaverse use cases and the derived network and edge computing functionality. He will review the various technological approaches to handling these challenges and how open source software communities are already starting to build the foundations for the Metaverse. This is a follow-up presentation to an introductory session given by Ranny at O3DCon in Nov 2022. This time Ranny will focus on the developments in the open source communities in the time that has passed since, will introduce the newly formed FIG under the Open Metaverse Foundation (OMF) and provide the audience with recommendation for participating in building the open Metaverse future.
