Communications and interoperability between between creators and users of 3D body processing (3DBP) technologies has become increasingly difficult. Proprietary communication for describing the human body abound but sharing their data with new business partners has become problematic due to the lack of a coherent communications standard with respect to human body data. To advance global industry communications, this standard seeks to define industry terms, and (using those definitions) to promote a common communications language. Central to this endeavor are the terms “Human” and “Humanoid” to describe the transformation of human body data to digital format. With apparel products and wearables being integral to the human experience, it is necessary to also include the terms “Cover” and “Coveroid” to describe adornments, or enhancement that may be pertinent to a particular 3DBP situation. Methods used to create, consume, and transform these “four 3DBP assets” are the focus of this standard. The related concepts of Fidelity and Quality are also described. Industry players that implement this standard is able to realize the global interoperability needed to lower manufacturing costs, to provide more flexibility, features, and performance to the consumer, and to 19 improve the level of waste in this industry. This standard describes the differences between a digital (virtual) twin and digital (virtual) clone and the impact of those differences for use cases. Advancing developments in consumer-based industries requires interoperability at a level of detail that goes beyond today's typical peer-to-peer communications that take place between individual companies. This standard describes the communication protocols and best practices used to support interoperability on a more global level between industry participants. The industry use cases range from CGI to phone apps and as such the different use cases are presented.

White Paper
IEEE 3D Body Processing - Industry Connections (3DBP IC): Communication, Security, and Privacy
The 3DBP IC Communications, Security and Privacy (CSP) subgroup is investigating the protection of data and records that may contain personal information, and how to ensure users and consumers expectations relative to privacy and security. The subgroup has determined that the requirements from the IEEE draft standards of P7002, P7004, and P7012 can be applied to 3DBP to help ensure security and privacy. Furthermore, it appears existing standards and industry practices will be helpful to enable the CSP to create requirements as normative clauses in a standard, and will use the existing standards, to the extent possible, to help enable safe, secure, transparent, and private processing of 3DBP information. In addition, the global impact of the EU GDPR will have a rippling influence on privacy requirements and the CSP is further assessing GDPR relative to data and record exchange in terms of privacy and security.
White Paper
IEEE Industry Connections (IEEE-IC) File Format Recommendations for 3D Body Model Processing
This white paper is dedicated to file formats, covering the surveys conducted by 3DBP group, determining industry needs, and providing file format recommendations to facilitate the 3D data processing. The requirements for 3D body models are thoroughly considered, five file formats are compared, two of them that meet the requirements (X3D and glTF) are explored, and the recommendations on representation options are given as well.
These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.
No Superseded Standards
These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.
No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards
These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.
No Inactive-Reserved Standards
