Introduction

At the conclusion of the first meeting of this community, participants
expressed a keen desire for there to be discussions and another face-to-face
meeting on the topic of open AR interfaces and data formats which operate
consistently across a variety of different AR development environments,

The next meeting of the AR standards experts and community will be
immediately following Mobile World Congress.

This page provides the public all information about the upcoming meeting.

All those who are currently working towards open interfaces via standards
bodies are invited to present the status of their activities. Companies and
individuals who are interested or wish to contribute their projects to the
advancement of AR standards are welcome.
