The efforts are not really so inclusive and they are being driven by a small segment of the industry. The assumption seems to be that a few bigger players can define the standards that everyone else will have to adopt. @ Jon, you may be right, but I do have to somewhat agree with e.g. Corey at MultiVerse.

I think that’s too pessimistic, and not an accurate picture of the virtual worlds market. If interoperability standards take the right form (and I’m trying to help the Virtual World Interoperability Forum to do just that), then we can see interoperable virtual worlds next year, rather than ten years from now.

Which is basically the point of Mitch Kapor in this article - http://www.news.com/8301-13772_3-9873205-52.html?tag=tb — We are using surface devices with Edusim now of course … but as other more natural forms of input emerge I can see this having an impact in immersive education as well.
