Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Too early to adopt

Why
The standard and its reference software are now both finalized, but production renderers/authoring tools are still emerging and the XR content/device base is thin
Next
Pull the now-published 23090-34:2025 reference software, prototype a 6DoF scene on target standalone-XR hardware to measure device-side render cost, and reassess once shipping renderers appear
