About

There is no Metaverse that is not the Open Metaverse.

Our story

The Open Metaverse Foundation is dedicated to working with industry leaders, companies, SDOs and dedicated individuals to develop open specifications and open source software to help build an open and inclusive Metaverse. 

We are a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization with the single goal of developing technologies and specifications to support the development of the Open Metaverse.  All of our work is released under an MIT license and is open for use by anyone for any purpose and can be distributed and modified freely.  We are not a standards development organization (SDO) but we do promote our technologies and specifications to be adopted by SDOs for wider adoption.

Our Vision

There is no Metaverse that is not the Open Metaverse.

To build the one and only Metaverse, will require cross industry collaboration and cooperation, open standards and human-first design in order to build an open, accessible and equitable Metaverse.

Our Mission

Our mission is to build a Metaverse for all.  One that gives power to creators. Is accessible and inclusive. One that gives freedom of choice. To make The Metaverse an ethical and equitable space.  We are guided by the Metaverse Code of Ethics.
