Use of online platforms for education is a vibrant and growing arena, incorporating a variety of software platforms and technologies, including various modalities of extended reality. We present our Enhanced Reality Teaching Concierge, an open networking hub architected to enable efficient and easy connectivity between a wide variety of services or applications to a wide variety of clients, designed to showcase 3D for academic purposes across web technologies, virtual reality, and even virtual worlds. The agnostic nature of the system, paired with efficient architecture, and simple and open protocols furnishes an ecosystem that can easily be tailored to maximize the innate characteristics of each 3D display environment while sharing common data and control systems with the ultimate goal of a seamless, expandable, nimble education metaverse.
