Abstract
Recently, metaverse has become one disruptive area of innovation with great potential to enhance our economy, and change the way of living. In this nascent phase of the metaverse, the industry is not yet clear about the direction and steps of technical development. This Technical Report is intended to outline a concise roadmap of metaverse standardization. In clause six, a framework of metaverse standards is provided. It is structured in four categories (i.e., General standards, Application and service standards, Enabling technology standards, Interoperability and ICT related infrastructure standards). In clause seven, the report presents the motivation of standardization and lists each metaverse-related standardization tasks, as well as relevant study groups of SDOs, consortium and forums that are working on the topic. This technical report will be beneficial to the standardization activities of ITU-T study groups, other SDOs, consortium and forums.
