What is Spatial Computing?
Spatial Computing is the ability to interact with digital objects in a way that feels natural within the physical world. It enables computers and devices to understand their surroundings, allowing virtual objects to be placed, moved, or interacted with as if they were real. For example, you could grab, rotate, or resize a virtual 3D object using your hands or a controller, and it would behave as though it exists in your physical space.
In XR (Extended Reality), interacting with objects—such as grabbing, moving, or manipulating virtual items in a real or virtual space—relies on Spatial Computing.
Spatial Computing enables these interactions by:
- Understanding the Environment: Recognizing surfaces, objects, and spatial relationships in the real world.
- Placing Virtual Objects Accurately: Ensuring digital objects behave naturally within the real space.
- Enabling Interaction: Allowing users to manipulate these objects intuitively using hand gestures, controllers, or other inputs.
