For all sorts of things, from nanotechnology to Net Zero guidance.And these standards are made by standards-makers – tens of thousands of people from around the world - who get together to agree good practice to the way things are made and done. All helping to make life easier, safer, and more enjoyable.In this episode Matthew speaks to Daniel Colaianni, a standards-maker in the field of immersive technologies.
