the "XR Wednesday" organized by the Sber Metavers and Sbermarketing Event Lab teams. According to him, the Association of Metaverse Markets (ARMET) is being formed, and one of the key definitions for its activities has been formulated quite recently.

"The Metaverse is a armenia whatsapp resourcepermanent functioning network of 3D worlds where users can communicate as avatars, create and use digital objects and content," said Alexander Kadykeev.

questions from a ComNews correspondent about the composition and goals of the new association, saying only that working groups had been created for it and that detailed information would be available later.

A similar answer was given by the metaverse strategist of Inloco Gallery and creator of the channel "Metaversoshnaya" Olga Kai. According to her, she is already a member of the association, and it was decided not to talk about the rest.

However, according to Vladimir Lantsov, head of the metaverses of Hybrid LLC, the ARMET business association unites agencies, freelancers and industry platforms, and he is its chairman. The association is focused on building a business in the metaverse industry and moving the industry forward. It currently has 20 members, who work in three working groups.

"The association has working groups that are responsible for various areas. Thus, the first working group was engaged in the official definition of the metaverse. The second group is engaged in traffic in metaverses and the development of standards. The third and main group today is engaged in the development of regulations for the official registration of the association," said Vladimir Lantsov.

What is the purpose of an association?

Denis Kuskov, CEO of Telecom Daily LLC, said that he really wants the new association to become a significant player in the market and bring together companies that work with metaverses. One of its possible areas of activity is setting "rules of the game" for market participants, defending their interests and building relationships with regulators.

Kirill Semion, CEO of the ANO "National Competence Center for Information Systems of Holding Management" (NCC ISU), agrees with him. He said that perhaps the members of the association will be engaged in the formation and creation of a legislative framework, since it is easier to develop it through joint efforts. In addition, the association can play a major role in import substitution of technology and the formation of a content market for domestic metauniverses. However, this will only be possible if its members do not compete with each other and are open.

"If the goal of the association is to unite efforts for the purpose of successful import substitution of this technology and effective cooperation for the creation of content for domestic metaverses, then the idea of ​​creating such an association can be assessed positively," agreed Kirill Semion.

Another area of ​​activity of the new association, according to Andrey Steblevsky, Director of Business Development at DCLogic LLC, could be the development of common standards that ensure compatibility of various platforms.

"Such a platform will become a place for knowledge exchange between participants, which will contribute to the accelerated development of technology," he noted.
