We get a presentation of the IoT Platform IoT Open from Th1ng as a part of the market overview 2024. We also get a presentation of Spacial Web. An important ongoing work within IEEE, creating a reference system for hyperspace ( like Metaverse and CitiVerse), similar to how we use HTTP for Internet.

In 2024, the Working Group focus on market overview of general horizontal IoT platforms for municipalities and regions + Open-Source initiatives for IoT. Supplemented by reports from standardization + discussions about interesting, related topics and issues.This occasion we get a presentation of one of the IoT Platforms, IoT Open from the company Th1ng. We also get a presentation of Spatial Web from George Percivall, IEEE Standards Association. The concept of the Spatial Web aligns with the idea of creating a hyper-connected, three-dimensional version of the internet, enabling seamless interaction between physical and virtual environments. Just as we use URLs (like "http") to navigate the current web, in the Spatial Web, you would use a spatial address to access specific locations in a virtual or augmented world. This is seen as a key infrastructure for virtual worlds, akin to the internet but for immersive 3D environments.
