    • USD Web Visualization (Roman Z.)
      • Met this week
      • Discussed extending the visualization space to mobile/embedded (Android/iOS/rpi)
      • Issues with Web Assembly
        • USD build assumes 64-bit target, while WebASM only supports 32-bit.
      • Extending support to Android and iOS
        • Likely requires modifications to libarch and libwork to operate on these platforms.
        • Needs a CI environment – could be something to approach the CIWG about.
  • Call for additional topics
    • With Blue Sky closing, technical staff with USD experience are available, please reach out (Chris R.)
    • Upgrading Houdini From USD 20.08 to 21.02
      • Very useful resource for others when looking at an upgrade to the newest quarterly release.
      • Would be great to continue this (Mark T. plans to do this again for the next update) and expand with input from others doing the same.
      • Somehow integrate Matt Johnson's Maya USD update notes (Cory O. to follow up).
      • Advertise this page to the usd-interest list.
    • USD interest list is private, requires an invite to join?
      • There was a period a couple of months ago where this was true due to a permissions issue.
      • Should be resolved now, no longer need an invite to join.
      • If you are having or hearing about trouble joining the group, please let me (Cory O.) know on the aswf slack #usd-wg channel.
