The glTF™ open standard 3D asset format from the Khronos Group enables online retailers and adtech platforms to enhance their interactive customer experiences with runtime-efficient, 3D product models. With the latest glTF PBR (Physically Based Rendering) material extensions, artists can create incredibly detailed and realistic assets – but in many cases, they’ve been held back by concerns about how these assets would perform on the web due to large texture sizes. Today, Khronos is releasing the open source glTF-Compressor tool for interactively optimizing and fine tuning texture compression settings, to help users adjust their 3D assets for optimal web delivery.

Esri is a member of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC®), and has been delivering geospatial solutions for over 5 decades, investing significant brain power to solve one vexing problem in the geospatial world: making massive geospatial content available across platforms and devices, including web browsers, mobile devices, and desktop applications. In response to that challenge, the Indexed 3D Scene Layer (I3S) specification was created about a decade ago. Esri worked with the community to release the specification under an Apache license in 2015. The OGC adopted I3S in 2017 as its first 3D streaming Community Standard.
