Thursday, August 4, 2022

BEAVERTON, Ore., Aug. 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today the Khronos® Group, an open consortium of industry-leading companies creating advanced interoperability standards, announced that its glTF™ 2.0 specification for the efficient transmission and loading of 3D models has been released as the ISO/IEC 12113:2022 International Standard. Khronos has successfully completed the transposition of glTF 2.0 through the ISO/IEC JTC 1 PAS (Publicly Available Specification) Submission Process to solidify glTF's global recognition and accelerate its adoption by industry and other standards. Khronos will continue to evolve glTF as a Khronos specification and regularly update ISO/IEC 12113 with proven, widely available glTF functionality to avoid industry fragmentation. The ISO/IEC 12113:2022 specification is available here.

Key Points: 
  • Khronos will continue to evolve glTF as a Khronos specification and regularly update ISO/IEC 12113 with proven, widely available glTF functionality to avoid industry fragmentation.
  • glTF 2.0 was submitted to JTC 1 in October 2021 and was unanimously approved as an International Standard by all voting national standards bodies with no requested technical changes.
  • "In 2013, Khronos launched the glTF initiative with the goal to create a 3D asset format that was as pervasive as JPEG for images - and now glTF, like JPEG, is an International Standard," said Neil Trevett, vice president developer ecosystems at NVIDIA and Khronos president.
  • This provides developers the choice to use the Khronos specification that defines the latest glTF functionality and extensions, or ISO/IEC 12113 for the compatible set of glTF functionality that has been approved as an International Standard.
