The viseme extension is a vendor (META) extension without a ratified attribute in the 1.1.65 registry, and its chapter defines no viseme-to-blend-shape or ARKit mapping, no output rate and no latency; an agent mapping these visemes to a rig must supply its own mapping and timing assumptions.

The viseme extension is a vendor (META) extension without a ratified attribute in the 1.1.65 registry, and its chapter defines no viseme-to-blend-shape or ARKit mapping, no output rate and no latency; an agent mapping these visemes to a rig must supply its own mapping and timing assumptions.
