Bridging the gap: It seamlessly integrates digital content into the physical world, allowing computers to understand and interact with their surroundings.
Using sensors: Devices use cameras, LiDAR, and other sensors to map and track the physical environment in real-time, creating a 3D model.
Real-time data: The system processes this data instantly to place digital objects and information accurately within the physical space.
Natural interaction: Users interact with the digital content using intuitive gestures, voice commands, and eye movements instead of a mouse or keyboard.
Immersive experiences: It creates highly immersive experiences by overlaying digital content on the real world, such as with augmented and mixed reality.
Key technologies: It's an umbrella term that includes technologies like virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR).
Digital twins: Spatial computing can create "digital twins," virtual replicas of real-world objects or environments for simulation and analysis.
Contextual awareness: The technology is context-aware, meaning it can understand objects, surfaces, and spaces to place digital content logically.
Beyond screens: It moves computing beyond traditional screens, enabling new applications in gaming, education, design, and healthcare.
