Developed with 20+ partners and coordinated with the Khronos Group, the standard addresses the lack of a unified exchange format for 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) content. Key features include EGSC (Efficient Gaussian Splatting Codec) with up to 30x compression, glTF-based storage compatible with meshes and point clouds, and ISOBMFF outer packaging (MP4/HEIF) for broad ecosystem compatibility. UWA and Khronos have also launched the CKAP China Graphics Working Group and plan to release open-source tools including codecs, renderers, and packaging utilities. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
