- Updates are given from various working groups within Omi, including Metaverse Standards Forum delegates, UX Research Group, Scripting group, Omi Developer Hour, and glTF extensions group.
- In this part of the transcript, the speaker discusses their experience with developing an extension for physics shapes in glTF files. They mention that they received initial pushback on the idea but have since discovered that others have implemented similar extensions. The speaker expresses satisfaction with the progress made and mentions ongoing discussions with Microsoft to align their specifications. They also highlight the ease of implementation and flexibility of the extension they developed. Additionally, there are updates on open-source projects and documentation efforts, including creating videos for demos. The group emphasizes the importance of creating more content, such as blog posts and videos, to support community engagement and promote open Metaverse interoperability. There is mention of potential collaborations for organizing events and producing conference-related content in person or virtually using avatars.
- Last week's recap mentioned three main things: the ability to have watch parties for the open Metaverse conference, extended early bird ticket discounts for Omi community members, and the offer of one booth at the physical conference in LA to the Omi community. The focus should be on hosting watch parties without explicitly promoting it as a way to avoid paying for tickets. Additionally, plans are being made to connect multiple spaces and create a cohesive metaverse experience. There were also updates on various demos, such as a golf game and an upcoming cross-modality version of Puttclub IO.
- Liam discusses the need for more people to implement and provide feedback on physics standards. They have tried various physics options and want to discuss their experiences in person. They mention a problem with WebXR not working on Linux and seek help from others. A bug is found in Liam's game, but they are aware of it and plan to fix it with Rapier's character controller. Eva shares a demo of generative art using stable diffusion in a webexr room. The tool is still in development but can be used to introduce people to generative media. They also mention other social spaces being built by REM Five, including museums around anti-racism. Codefral shares a link for an experience running in Croquet that allows users to interact with objects and demonstrates attachment behavior using microverse and Croquet tools. Various features are discussed, such as private/public sessions, moderation, multiplayer capability, and compatibility across devices. RP One is mentioned as another project pushing the limits of multiplayer gaming. The session ends with gratitude for everyone's participation and support during the holiday season.

Summary: Liam discusses the need for more implementation of physics standards while mentioning different experiments they've tried so far; Eva presents a demo showcasing generative art using stable diffusion; Codefral demos an application allowing users to interact with objects; RP One project is mentioned as well.
