Hi, The ARML had been a too long journey for standardization. Formal Standardization of ARML, it was initiated by Mobilizy, and firstly discussed on the AR consortium, And then it was discussed on the OMA, and discussed on the W3C POI WG, and finally reached the OGC. I hope it can be settled down well in the OGC, and make the really good progress.

But, it only works when/to the extent that people want it to. Gentle reminder that the next meeting is Oct 24-25 in Basel. The OGC ARML activity will be topic of a presentation and discussion, but the other groups which Rob mentions (W3C DAP, W3C Web RTC, W3C Audio WG) are not on the agenda...

How do you see this relating to all the work already under way for web based AR standards development. I mean how would this integrate with the Declarative 3D work? Or the POI WG work? Or the DAP and Web RTC work? Or the Audio WG work? And how would this integrate or leverage the StreamInput work that Khronos are starting? I'm all for standards...but I think before we head into another set of weeds I'd really like to see our overall community doing more integrative work. roBman On Thu, 2011-09-15 at 12:29 +0000, ya knygar wrote: Hello Martin Lechner! I strongly disagree that AR standards are still not required. i don't see any soul here - with ignorance for IT standards, i think what Blair MacIntyre - the developer of another useful AR standard - exactly mean: Given that a vast amount of what would be "in" an ARML or KARML data stream, there is absolutely no chance any of them will be compatible with each other any time soon, so why not work on the big issues before going down into the weeds?... to work together to be compatible where we agree, and go our own way when we don't, and then see things evolve basic on real people actually doing things with the various browser and so on. - I think that - while the "Web Story" is a little bit different from the "AR Story" - it still makes a good "reference story". 1. Following your context -- do you envision some AR Net rather than functioning only in the standards defined - Web? (given the currently strong approach on standardization of "Device API's", i mean - at least 3 serious groups - working for the 'next' Web) 2. Do you think it is 'Ok' to make some other consortium and move separately from the current W3C governance? (like WHATWG did, for example) 3. Could you, please, elaborate on the differences where are the good old, decentralized "World Wide Web (WWW, or simply Web)" as "an information space in which the items of interest, referred to as resources, are identified by global identifiers called Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI)." model does not fit / where it fits in your opinion? Once again, I'd like to invite everyone (as in *EVERYONE*) to work within the ARML 2.0 SWG do you plan an open mailing list or forum during the development of proposition, so people - who aren't the members of OGC for one or another reason - would be able to contribute/etc. into the standard formation - in other way? sincerely, knygar 2011/9/15 Martin Lechner <martin.lechner@wikitude.com> <mailto:martin.lechner@wikitude.com> : Hi Blair, Carl, Rob et al.! While I do agree that AR is not used by masses of people yet, I strongly disagree that AR standards are still not required. In my opinion, a standard the AR community agrees on will help the industry grow significantly, if (as in *IF*) the standard takes into account that it will require extension in the future. Still, we all know that AR applications are out for quite some time now (with a lot more to come every week), and I guess all of us will agree that they all have significant overlaps in their functionalities. As far as I'm concerned, this already justifies working on a standard for AR. Figure how HTML was created - it started out with a couple of tags, and I'm pretty sure Tim did not know precisely how the Web will be shaped in the future. Yet, it was extensible, and turned out to be successful. I think that - while the "Web Story" is a little bit different from the "AR Story" - it still makes a good "reference story". In my opinion, it's about getting things started, allowing the AR industry to agree on a standard, while still not closing doors for extending the standard. It will be one of the key topics in the ARML 2.0 SWG where we need to ensure that future AR requirements can be met (by adding new components to the standard), I keep thinking about a component model where various components can connect with the existing ones. Once again, I'd like to invite everyone (as in *EVERYONE*) to work within the ARML 2.0 SWG to define an AR standard within the OGC. You guys at GA Tech could certainly contribute a lot to the success of the SWG, so in case you are still interested, we will kick-off the ARML 2.0 SWG in the OGC TC meeting in Boulder on Monday, Sept. 19th. Whoever wants to join and get involved in the SWG is invited!

Folks will be far more interested in contributing if it appears to be more inclusive; as it stands, the document feels a bit to focused on your company, which won't serve you well. Witness my reaction. ;) We'll be happy to discuss the directions we are going to be going this year with KARML; the current implemented version touches on some of what you are going after, and our plans for Argon for this year touch on much of the rest of it. Georgia Tech is not a member of OGC as far as I can tell, so our involvement won't be "formal". Just so you know, I feel that this effort is premature; I find it ironic that you are taking KML (a "standard" that evolved from a widely used defector standard into something more formal only after it was proven to be useful), and using it as the basis for a "design before we really know what people will use" standard. I use "we" inclusively: I don't think any of us (including researchers like me) really _know_ what needs to be in these standards and tools, since AR is still not being used by very many people for very many things, and certainly not in the architectural scenario these standards will impact. There are some things that can be standardized, perhaps (e.g., some of the ARML 1.0 things, which we've taken further in KARML, like extending ideas of location reference beyond LLA). But when you start talking about "events" I get nervous. I'd much rather see an informal effort by those of us (you at wikitude, my team, perhaps others) who are actually building on top of KML and building javascript libraries for AR, to work together to be compatible where we agree, and go our own way when we don't, and then see things evolve basic on real people actually doing things with the various browser and so on. Given that a vast amount of what would be "in" an ARML or KARML data stream, there is absolutely no chance any of them will be compatible with each other any time soon, so why not work on the big issues before going down into the weeds?

We already have a list of other standards/efforts we will include in the charter prior to the startup of the SWG, and KARML is on the list already, along with others. The revised list will be published in an updated charter document after the public comment-period. I agree that KARML is valuable contribution towards an AR standard. As a general "Call for Participation", I would love to have representatives from other institutions which proposed AR standards in the SWG, it would be great to have you on board. However, as far as I understood, you need to be OGC member to work within an SWG, this is a formal requirement. In case you consider joining OGC to work within the SWG, highly appreciated - I think Carl is the one to talk to about it.

How do we comment on it if we aren't OGC members? Obviously, the complete lack of any mention of our work on KARML is a bit surprising (if only in the "other know efforts" section), considering it's more mature than either ARML or ARchitect, is well documented on our website, and has a fully working implementation in the iTunes app store (Argon). And, of course, since I know they know about Argon and KARML, it's clearly an intentional omission. While I realize their bias is toward their own commercial interests, it would seem to undermine the position of OGC as a standards organization to have a small group of people leverage them as a platform to promote their commercial product.
