[x3d-public] Multi-user cross-3D authoring systems—Metaverse

[Leonard Daly]

John,

NVIDIA's system is Omniverse (https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/omniverse/). 
It is built on top of USD 
(https://graphics.pixar.com/usd/release/index.html). 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.
