💡Key Concepts

Spatial Awareness

Spatial computing relies on technologies such as computer vision, GPS, inertial sensors, and depth-sensing cameras to understand and interpret the physical environment. This allows devices to perceive and interact with the world around them, enabling applications like augmented reality (AR) and mixed reality (MR).

Virtual Reality (VR)

Spatial computing combines AR, MR, VR, and spatial interaction to bridge the gap between physical and digital worlds, offering immersive experiences and applications across various industries, while addressing challenges such as hardware limitations and privacy concerns.

Augmented Reality (AR)

AR overlays digital content onto the user's view of the real world, enhancing their perception and understanding of their surroundings. AR applications range from gaming and entertainment to practical use cases such as navigation, education, and remote assistance.

Mixed Reality (MR)

MR combines elements of both AR and virtual reality (VR) to create immersive experiences where digital and physical objects coexist and interact in real-time. MR technology enables users to manipulate virtual objects within their physical environment, blurring the line between the real and virtual worlds.

Extended Reality (XR)

XR is a broad term encompassing augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR), and virtual reality (VR), representing the spectrum of immersive experiences ranging from augmentation of the real world to total immersion in virtual environments.

Spatial Interaction

Spatial computing emphasizes natural and intuitive forms of interaction, such as gesture recognition, voice commands, and haptic feedback. By leveraging spatial cues and context-awareness, users can interact with digital content in a more immersive and seamless manner.
