Lidar News reports the OGC 3D Fusion Summit next week, rightly noting that

“This is being billed as a first of its kind event in North America, bringing together many of the major technology players in 3D and related topics.”

Lidar is really hitting it big time and their are all many key players coming together. Whilst we have LAS as a file format and ESRI entering the fray with terrains, some standardization is sorely needed. Hopefully the OGC can provide this in the same way it has for other areas; the 3D Information Management (3DIM) Working Group seems to be the right starting point.
