Both IMA founders and the majority of the virtual worlds community support the use of open source software. As such, there are many open source projects associated with virtual worlds, virtual reality, and synthetic environments. Virtual world developers and supportive communities have been at the forefront of innovation through design thinking - making what is good great!

Typically, standards are published documents that establish specifications designed to maximize the reliability and/or safety of things we use every day. We can think of them as building blocks used to establish protocols that can be easily understood and adopted. This is not limited to manufacturing of cars, medical devices, or even food handling. There are business cases associated with software as well.

 

For example, competing software modeling application developers reference standards when making their applications so they can import and export commonly used model formats. Web page designers reference guidelines published to comply with requirements stipulated in Section 508 of the US Rehabilitation Act Amendments associated with accessibility. These aspects are of interest to Metaverse software developers.
