<p>John,</p>
<p>NVIDIA's system is Omniverse
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/omniverse/">https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/omniverse/</a>). It is built on top of
USD (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://graphics.pixar.com/usd/release/index.html">https://graphics.pixar.com/usd/release/index.html</a>). Omniverse
is not a file format, but an API. It supports everything you
probably want in an authoring system for layers, revision history,
etc. It does not have its own content creation tools, but uses
connectors to push/pull data to a large number of DCC tools.</p>

I am interested in multi-user 3D authoring systems. I know that
NetBeans had a module/package back in the day, but I don’t know of
any current efforts at reviving this. I know that NVIDIA has
their service. Can we enhance the Metaverse to do
cross-authoring? Is there an open protocol we can all use?
SAI?
