Panel Discussion: The Metaverse: Opportunities, Challenges, and Where Open Source Plays
summary
Panelists describe concrete progress: an XR browser relaunched as Wolvic XR browser that brings the web into headsets, an Open Metaverse Foundation launched last year to build interchangeable blocks, and early demos like digital twins and remote surgery moving from consulting to production. Key problems are clear: XR devices force edge processing because cloud latency is too high, browsers get misidentified and serve unusable mobile sites, and teams use protocol code generation from generative AI to speed interoperable spec implementations.
