International Participation
New Field of Technical Activity - TS/P 320 Creative digital design
A proposal to establish a new field of technical activity (NFTA) on Creative Digital Design has been submitted by SAC (China). ISO member bodies are invited to consult on the proposal.
The scope of the proposal is the following:
Standardization of protocols, including requirements and guidance, for processes, organization, operations and capacity building activities, related to human-based creative design of digital elements to be used, in the field of e-games, digital art, digital fashion design, cinema effects. By being technology-neutral, this doesn’t include specifications related to IT-technology aspects.
Excluded:
