Third Room ist eine browserbasierte, dezentralisierte Plattform für virtuelle Welten, die auf dem Matrix-Protokoll aufbaut. Third Room verschiebt die Grenzen dessen, was man in einer 3D-Browser-Anwendung tun kann, indem es WebAssembly, SharedArrayBuffers und Atomics für sperrfreies Multithreading, WebGL2 und vieles mehr verwendet. Es baut auf offenen Standards wie dem glTF 3D-Dateiformat auf und nutzt diese vollständig, um eine DOM-ähnliche API für das Skripting interaktiver, benutzergenerierter Welten bereitzustellen.

The vision of the Metaverse is to be the the next step in the digitization of our work-life. While it is not explicitly tied to a particular technology yet, the Metaverse is most often associated with some sort of 3D immersive technology and concepts from Web3. While still in its infancy, we have decades of precedent from serious gaming and ubiquitous computing to judge where to expect the threats to emerge. Since we expect parts of the Metaverse to start being deployed piece by piece over the next years and we have been exploring Metaverse threats for a few years now. Some threats are derivable from IT security but there will also be threats particular to the Metaverse that arise due to the complex nature of 3D and cyber/physical interactions. In this talk we will address our findings so far that affect individuals and enterprises as they take first steps in deploying or using Metaverse-like spaces.
