Spatial computing

Spatial computing was defined in 2003 by Simon Greenwold,[1] as "human interaction with a machine in which the machine retains and manipulates referents to real objects and spaces". [Yale, June 1995.]

With the advent of consumer virtual reality,[2] augmented reality,[3] and mixed reality, companies such as Microsoft[4] and Magic Leap[5] use "spatial computing" in reference to the practice of using physical actions (head and body movements, gestures, speech) as inputs for interactive digital media systems, with perceived 3D physical space as the canvas for video, audio, and haptic outputs. It is also tied to the concept of 'digital twins'.[6] The Infinite Retina, a book written by Irena Cronin and Robert Scoble and published by Packt Publishing in 2020, has spatial computing as its main topic and was widely well received,[7] exemplifying the current importance and relevance of spatial computing.

Apple announced a spatial computing platform with the Vision Pro on 5 June 2023. It features several features such as Spatial Audio, two micro-OLED displays, the Apple R1 chip and eye tracking. It is planned to be released in 2024 in the United States.[8]
