Q: How do you identify "XR interoperability-washing"?
- A: "XR interoperability-washing" is akin to greenwashing; it occurs when companies aggressively market a commitment to open standards while their top-down corporate structures make true interoperability technically impossible.
These entities often promote:
+ A: "XR interoperability-washing" is akin to greenwashing; it occurs when companies aggressively market a commitment to open standards while their top-down corporate structures make true interoperability technically impossible. It also partially explains why XR interop historically creates top-down talkshops, instead of actual bottom-up interop (like JanusXR).
+ Characteristics: -
- Metaphor: XR interoperability-washing is similar to a DNS-company (which allows you to register a domain) without a 'transfer a domain'-feature. -
- While these methods may offer limited connectivity, they fall short of providing a sustainable, seamless "world-to-world" browsing experience (XR hypermedia).
-In contrast, (bottom-up) XR hypermedia offers a more cost-efficient path.
By removing the need to protect stakeholders, centralized user bases, or specific crypto-wallets, it flips the traditional power structure.
In this model, the user—not the corporate stakeholder—is the starting point and operator of the network. +In contrast, (bottom-up) XR hypermedia offers a more cost-efficient path.

+ + Q: What is the 'XR at rest' criteria? + A: Basically that XR experiences should be cheap to archive and reproduce: the 'XR at rest' criteria dictates that immersive experiences should ideally exist as persistent, static files rather than being dependent on active, power-hungry server processes.
By decoupling the XR space from continuous compute requirements, these experiences remain accessible even when the original hosting infrastructure or company servers are powered down.
This approach leverages a 'cacheable' hypermedia architecture, allowing virtual environments to be served and cached much like standard web pages.
Ultimately, this ensures the long-term preservation and interoperability of the spatial web, preventing "digital decay" common in traditional live-service gaming models. +
