>>    rich history of developing technologies that enable the creation,
>>    transmission, access, interaction, sharing, and visualization of 3D
>>    universes. Bringing together a diverse group of individuals to share
>>    innovative and influential thoughts on how the metaverse can revolutionize
>>    the future of communications. This includes topics such as 3D applications
>>    and services accessible through a wide range of devices, from simple mobile
>>    phones to more complex systems such as AR/VR headsets, and heavily
>>    populated virtual worlds, especially those connected through high-speed,
>>    low-latency networks.
