| WG3 | ANSI/CTA-2059 | Interoperability Standards Series for Consumer EEG Data - User State Description Summary: Estimation of User State (e.g. sleepy, alert or surprised) is the main focus of most Brain Computer Interface (BCI) applications. The purpose of this standard is to (a) define a list of terms that are used to describe User State, clearly explaining the meaning of each term (b) define the numerical and/or categorical value ranges associated with each term, e.g. using values between one (1) and zero (0) for focused user state, with the value one (1) referring to a fully focused user state.

CTA's Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality Committee develops will develop standards, recommended practices, and technical reports related to augmented reality, virtual reality and related technologies.All are encouraged to join the Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality Committee and get involved in its activities. The Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality Committee is particularly interested in adding new members (called "users" who acquire AR/VR products from those who create them) as well as those with a general interest. |

| WG1 | ANSI/CTA-2086 | Categorization Augmented and Virtual Reality Consumer Experiences Summary:The goal of this project is to create mindshare around various types and formulations of in-headset content, and provide common, industry standard language to describe the various types of virtual and augmented reality experiences that a consumer should come to expect. This will make media and experiences more accessible to consumers, as well as give them language to communicate and share with others.
