<div><div dir="auto">Thanks for the introduction to Omniverse, Leonard, I have been studying it a bit, but i had to catch up on sleep. X3DJSAIL is also an API, and could be used to add, remove, set and get nodes and fields in a database or network payload. My Multi-user authoring network protocol (Impact3D-lircom) is a lot like SQL, with insert, update, delete and selects (sadly, no drop or create) over a network. Also REST is also SQL-like, with GET, POST, PUT, DELETE. I hope you understand the analogy i am drawing. I do not know Omniverse’s protocols.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">The idea i had was to use a Java API with X3D payloads/parameters.

<p>NVIDIA's system is Omniverse
(<a href="https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/omniverse/" target="_blank">https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/omniverse/</a>). It is built on top of
USD (<a href="https://graphics.pixar.com/usd/release/index.html" target="_blank">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?
